As the horses thundered through the group, Aidan heard Pachski shout about stopping them, and he himself recognized the problem if they were left horseless.  Since he knew he couldn't easily catch them in his heavy armor, and other had already engaged the wolf following them, Aidan decided to use an alternative method to stop the horses.<br/><br/>Drawing his sword for later he turned towards the horses, focusing his mind.  Endlessly practiced occult engrams from dusty old tomes and even more suspicious relics flashed through his mind at once, and outwardly only a slight widening of his eyes and a minor glow to them was visible though the visor of his helmet as his will manifested upon the world in seconds.<br/><br/>A greasy patch, sure to hamper any kind of movement through it significantly appeared in front of the horses' patch, spreading rapidly underneath them.  With any luck, that would be enough to halt their panicked flight.  Afterwards, he hoped Pachski or someone could calm them down.<br/><br/>The wolf seemed to still be a danger, though it was engaged well enough already.  Regardless, Aidan didn't want it to get any ideas about gettin to the horses, so he moved closer to the group, placing himself between the wolf and the horses, bringing his sword to ready position.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">actions</div><div class="spoiler_body">Aidan cast Grease, Reflex DC 17, in front of the horses to hopefully stop them.  He then took his move action to place himself both closer to the fight and between the wolf and the horses.</div></div>
