*Ishikawa, smelling the scent of more wolves in the air, turned his attention to the direction it was coming from, finally taking out his bow and knocking an arrow, disrupting his stealth field slightly. He was shaded by the trees still, so he hoped he hadn't drawn the attention of the creatures. He grimaced as Tavish attacked the wolf, disapproving of the brutality of it. It was an animal as any other, and deserved the respect of a quick and relatively painless death. His arrow would make sure of that. He prepared to fire once he saw further movement, waiting patiently.*

Tavish walked menacingly towards the seemingly stressed and anxious wolf, it looked up at him with bright eyes and bared teeth. Tavish swings for it's leg and the wolf moves rather than sits as an easy target, quick and nimble compared to the armored man though he does catch it's hindquarters in a glancing strike. Blood warms the blade and the wolf yelps loudly, lamed but giving itself distance from Tavish instead of remaining nearby.

The yelp seems almost like some signal, drawing the rest of the pack out from behind the rocks; A young male and a female still heavy with milk. The female responds quickly, it's eyes whitening as she opens her maw and a blast of icy cold escapes it. Tavish can feel cold biting even through the armor, making the metal tacky against fabric and skin. (-1.5m/s debuff to run speed for three turns).

Using the attack as cover, the third wolf darts in and targets the dog. It's bite goes for the other canine's back, digging in teeth and frost forming across the fur. It cracks with the dog's movements and the Winter Wolf's mouth comes away bloodied from the dog's own leg. (Dog has -0.1 debuff to their general speed for three turns).

With Tavish and the dog being obvious targets, the wolves focus on him.

*Tavish would've, of course, turned when he heard sound coming from behind him and sensing a cold breeze, of course, he knew what it was, the rest of the pack had come and those where actually trying to defend themselves, so those where more of a priority for tavish and his dog, speaking of the dog,since he had already detected the other wolves due to it's great smelling capabilities, which would have made it easy for him to snap toward the attacking wolf to then bite him back, reaching the neck if possible but if not he would just bite it's head.*

"Shoot the coward, we'll take care of the one willing to put up a fight"

*While tavish said that he would've quickly rushed the wolf that was attacking him, stabbing it violently with the point his great-sword, if the wolf dodge which is probable, tavish would strike again by doing a slash toward's the wolf's new position.*

*Ishikawas frown deepened as he observed the wolfs behavior. This didn't seem like an aggressive animal, as the one who had commissioned them had said. If it was aggressive, it likely would have been the first to attack... It was too late to withdraw now, he wasn't going to allow Tavish to die, though he disagreed with his methods.* 

*Ishikawa aimed for the neck of the wolf that had already been struck, hoping to end its suffering quickly and decisively. He would allow the arrow to fly, hoping it would hit its mark, more for the sake of the animal than his partner.* 

```It would fly faster than an average arrow [Ranged Specialist 5], and Ishikawas aim is generally quite precise [Ranged Precision 5], given it hits its mark.```

*Two wolves focused on Tavish, and one upon the dog. It's now plenty apparent that these wolves are not simple, stupid creatures. As Tavish turns his armor crackles with frost, an unwelcome squeak coming of metal across frozen metal, and at the sound the wolf retreats. It seems aware of how it's breath will change how he moves and takes advantage by putting distance between itself and Tavish. The blade catches the tail, drawing blood from the She-Wolf as she retreats back behind the stones, leading a thin trail of blood.*

*The male fighting the dog however is not going to stop putting up a fight. It's muzzle is scored, but while the Caucasian shepherd is large, the wolf is **Experienced**. Not simply trained, but surviving. It leaps after taking the teeth across it's snout, digging teeth into the scruff of the dog and shaking viciously, it's neck easily as thick as the dog's own. It is, however, focused on brutalizing the dog and not Tavish.*

*The behavior of the animals was... Strange indeed, but as he knew, it was too late now. As the injured wolf trotted rapidly to go round the bush and perhaps join in the attack, the arrow splits the air. It reveals him, but as the wolf jumps from it's soft scare the arrow strikes it. It runs, briefly, and then collapses a short distance from the fighting as it passes.*
