**"Watch your damn step, droppin' caltrops."**, - he pulled out a large thick leather sack out of his backpack and started pulling out and tossing around caltrops. He made sure to surround himself and his teammates. He'd spend like 30 caltrops, probably enough to ensure some kind of perimeter safety for himself and his comrades. The caltrops were of Roman design, by the way (pic related).

"Okey, well time for you to bugger off now."
She tiredly threatened the wolves her voice almost emotionless as she lifted up her free hand to cast her spell. A purple circle of runes forming at her hand while two more appeared spaced out above her arm, a bolt of crackiling energy forming between them. Taking her aim at a wolf she closed her hand, shattering the circles, the bolt flying for it's target.
**Arcane Bolt cast 91/100 mana**

*The group started the hostilities first at last. As soon as the first spells started to be cast, the wolves got moving too.*
*The first creature was targetted by a nicely aimed Force Blast but unfortunately for Katya, it was already ready to dodge an incoming attack. Instead of foolishly rushing at the witcher's neck, it would've instead leaped at the bard's legs as he noticed its agressor's stance, who was ready to slash and counterattack.*
*The second one, who wasn't targetted by any spell yet, was quickly stopped by the caltrops. Since it couldn't have approached closer without risking to injure its paws, its eyes suddenly started to glow white as it opened its maw. After a brief instant, an icy breath would've been fired toward Byleth to prevent him setting up more traps.*
*Finally, the third winter wolf had to deal with an arcanic spear. Though it used another tactics, as it instantly dashed toward the elven mage as soon as it spotted the forming runes. Since it closed the gap pretty quickly, the arcane bolt was harder to aim correctly - and the snow wasn't helping grasp their enemies' silhouette either, and so the fanged beast swiftly got around the lethal spell. Now Levi had to defend herself from a close range bite.*
*Due to the speed of the wolves' movements and reactions, Byleth wouldn't have been able to make a full circle, but only half of it, leaving Levi exposed while the bard himself and Katya's right side were secured... Kind of...*
```Winter Wolf A attacks Byleth!

Winter Wolf C attacks Levi!```

*Seeing one of the wolves spew out an icy breath, she quickly ran and jumped in front of the bard, extending her hand*
"Igni!" *She yelled, and a cone of flames would launch from her palm, going towards the wolf's freezing breath. She then fell into the snow, and proceeded to get up, to defend herself from the wolf*
