Malak stabs the new wolf with the bloody magic dagger, penetrating its skull. The feral beast slumps dead to the floor, knocking over the small bowl and scattering the sticks.

Emral gets a good hold on the alpha's collar and yanks, but it stays put, as does the alpha's LOCKJAW!

Three more wolves join the fray, each jockeying for an attack position - but only one manages a nip at Malak:
17! Thankfully it's only a graze for 1 hp of damage!

End of round 3.
intentions/int for round 4....


 

D6: 1!!!

Emral is going to pick up the alpha locked onto his arm and run to the far door.

“Won’t let go? Then you are going for a ride!”

Attack the alpha with my magic dagger
Init: 2
Attack: 9 (plus bonuses from magic/strength)
Damage 3

Malak kicks the new wolf away and plunges the magic dagger again into the mange slick hide of the alpha!

Emral knows that letting go to try the door is as good as giving his arm up for lost, so he recalls how he saw a barbarian train wild dogs.

“The Viking word for wolf is Var, the word for fire is Loge, so do you know the real meaning of Varlockr? I am the wolf of fire!”

Emral bites the alpha as hard as he can on the nose, a cluster of nerves for beasts with scent tracking.

If it’s dazed by pain he can tear open the door and bolt through, hopefully followed by Malak.

Ooc: if not you could climb the rope!

I will have to continue to attack the Alpha while defending myself:
Init 4
Attack 12 (not sure what the bonuses are)
Damage 3 (not sure what the bonues are to that either)
Next round I may have to pull out my secret weapon!!!!

Malak continues to stab the alpha, but the stubborn s.o.b. will not release!

Emral tries to bite again, sensing that he'd better smack this alpha around and *become* the pack's alpha, or he's going to be torn to shreds by the rest of the pack.

Initiative:  d6: 6  
Attack:  d20: 7

Emral - sensing that biting might not be the path to victory, plans to just swing the alpha around for a slam against the ground, when he gets a chance.

I’m on the edge of my seat here folks. I really hope we make it out of this, but I refuse to fudge the dice!

No fudging in Hyperborea!

Malak's injuries are mere scratches,
but Emral feels faint!

Round 5 could be the turning point....

Emral is desperate but refuses to accept death. He twists the collar with his off hand to strangle the wolf, and turns to pin it against the wall with his body, pressing hard to hopefully crush ribs, or at least keep it off the ground so it cannot chomp down again.

Initiative: 1!
Attack d20: 17! Plus modifiers (+2?)
Second d20 in case we need it: 2? Maybe that’s a strength check roll under?

HAHAHA! hold on, we haven't even had round 5 yet. scratch that:
Still on Emral last move:
