Touchee!<br/><br/>Yes. In the case of fire, you scale down the physics. You're fine with the contrariness, too. We're all learning as we go along.<br/><br/>In the end, your concerns about the wolves really won't come up. This is part of the "system shock" I mentioned when we started. If you pass Tests successfully, you'll avoid the wolves. You would describe what steps your characters took to avoid them, and they succeed. If you Fail, there's a chance they ambush the Patrol. That's really my choice. The whys and the hows of such a result are dealt with by writing a narrative (essentially a free form post) that surrounds the Tests.<br/><br/>So the process is...we decide what we're gonna do...we make a Test by rolling some dice...based on the outcome we write a narrative that describes in-character what actually happened to the characters. Does that make better sense?
