*The snow would be pretty heavy in this area of the woods, making it quite believable that a cart could break down. In some areas, it came up to the knees, even on roads. It was miserably cold, with the wind howling the whole way. Up ahead on the path would be a cart with no hoses, and a female Hill Lora standing atop it.* "Hey!" *She called out, waving her arms,* "Get up here! There's a winter wolf around here, just the one!" *She was jumping up and visibly distressed. There were horseshoe prints everywhere and other tracks. Gabriel was about 60ft away from the cart.*

Gabriel would look up to the Hill Lora and wave his hand to acknowledge her cries. He looks around warily with all his senses strained to their maximum capabilities. A winter wolf that's nowhere to be seen could be preparing a pounce. As he looks around, he would also start to draw the sigils he's drawn many times before. The circle it forms would glow a bright blue as one of his own wolves, a tangled rope with blue feathers draped around its neck, steps forth to join him.

*Gabriel could hear the rustling of bushes and the treading off snow off to the right, behind the tree line.* "I think it's got one of my horses," *The Lora cried,* "It's not safe down there!" *If Gabriel listened a little closer, he could hear the usual sounds of a predator ripping up prey. It was about 40ft away from where Gabriel was, but he couldn't yet see it.* "I have a bow, but only a couple of arrows left!"
Sherrie
The winter wolf was occupied, that's a good opportunity for Gabriel. He slowly inched his way closer to the cart while he sends his own wolf out at an angle between them and the winter wolf. He would quickly draw another magic circle, summoning a second wolf. This one bears green feathers. Maybe more wolves would seem like the opposite of what the Lora wanted, but seeing him summon them himself would hopefully be reassuring enough. "How are you with a crossbow?" He would ask her. He carries a crossbow and its bolts, but he barely knows how to operate it. If he could pass those off to her for the time being, maybe it would help their predicament.

`Gabriel cast Spirit Wolf for 15 Mana, leaving him with 90 Mana remaining and capped at 90 Mana.`

*The Lora sneered her nose a bit, but shrugged, laying down her bow.* "If I have to." *She'd take the crossbow, lever, and bolt, and load the weapon. After she finished, she held it up with both hands, looking over it and into the treeline.* "I cut both of my horses free, and I know one of them got away, but if we don't handle that damn wolf, I'm sure it'll chase after my last horse. Then all of this is stuck out here."

*The tearing and snarling would stop now, presumably as the wolf finished eating. In the treeline, between two shrubs, a bloodied wolf's snout would stick out, sniffing the air.*
Sherrie
Gabriel nodded. *At least the Lora was armed now, she should be able to hold her own for a bit if necessary*, he thought. With that in mind, Gabriel would start to approach in the direction of the winter wolf. He wouldn't want to risk it darting off into the forest where they'd have trouble following and potentially get to the other horse before they could. So, he would command his wolves to spread out to his right and left, some 50 feet away from him. Then, he would unsheathe his dagger with one hand and drag it across his other palm. Wincing from the pain, he would cut not too deep but deep enough to draw blood. He hoped that the scent of his blood would attract the predator, knowing how sensitive their noses are to it.

*The wolf's snout would twitch noticeably, then its head would come out of the shrubs. It was big, much bigger than Gabriel's summoned wolves. It's eyes moved from both the wolves, then to Gabriel. Slowly, it pushed out of the shrubs and stalked towards one of Gabriel's wolves, the one with the green feathers. It panted slightly, anticipating its next meal.*
Sherrie
It would seem that they succeeded in drawing the predator out of the bushes. That meant that at least it won't be going after any horses, wherever the runaway might be. It started approaching his green collared wolf though, not quite what he expected but he'll have to adapt. He would command his green wolf to snarl, backing up slowly but presenting itself as an easy meal to keep the winter wolf's attention to itself. Meanwhile, he would have the blue collared wolf and himself slowly move around it, aiming to flank the larger predator.

*The Winter Wolf trotted closer to the wolf it had originally targeted, getting within 15ft. Its eyes turned completely white as it stretched its head out and let out a quickly moving blast of frost from its mouth. It began running faster, charging the summon. If the gray wolf was hit, it would slow down considerably, both running and generally.*
