Take catches a glimpse of his adversary(?) or at least a wolf, and charges right into it. The animal(?) manages to dodge the the spear thrust though, leaving Take wide open for a counter-attack.

Now a wolf wearing chain shirt made out of some kind exotic wood and a backpack, the animal dodges the incoming charge and snaps at the attacker with its fangs.  Feeling the flesh sink in under his teeth, he tries to bring his opponent off his feet.

Ouch! Take cries out as the wolf manages to bite him. The shapechanger then tries to trip him, but the massive goliath smiles at the feeble attempt. Next he tries to grab the wolf, but the attempt is easily dodged.

OOC: My strength and size modifier means I get a bonus to STR checks of +9, so no need to roll in this case.

The wolf after failing to trip his opponent and hears him yelp out in pain only slightly whimpers as he doesn't enjoy causing others pain.  Yet he Snaps again knowing that this is a test of abilities, missing his nimble foe.

OOC:  I'm guessing your strength is +5 and you put a +4 for being a large creature.  Since in wolf I am still medium.  I get to automatically try a trip if I successfully get a bit attack in as a free action.  I provoke no AoO of my own.

OOC: An AoO? For what: charging?

OOC: Sorry about that, I had read the map wrong and had thought you were directly north of me, moving through one of my attack squares.  Issue fixed.  I will use the numbers I had rolled for what ever I have to do next round.

Take keeps exchanging misses with the shapechanger, feeling clumsy and awkward.

After dodging an attack from his opponent, the wolf once again snaps his teeth at a horribly failed attempt to close his jaws onto his target.

Take now gets into the rythm of fighting the wolf shaped elf and manages to get more attacks in. Thrusting an arm forward he manages to get hold of the neck of the wolf, pulling him close and beginning to crush the life out of him.

Round 4:
  [Free]
  [Move]
  [Standard] Melee touch attack, flurry of blows 1 (18) hit, OGC DC35 or begin grapple and take 6 damage, next attack GC to damage (28) or take 12 damage

  Damage Taken:  7
  Damage Dealt:  0 (6+12?)

Effects: +2 Deflection bonus to AC, +10' to speed

Final position: O03 subject to change

OOC: Essentially you need to roll OGC at least once, unless you beat the DC35 you need to roll a second time to avoid taking damage from the second attack.

The wolf had a surprised look in his eyes as he was grappled and dealt damage through it.  The first attack onto him was easily shrugged off.  The second attack though, this brute dealt more then he could soak and so there was only a small wine from the wolf as he felt the pain of the blow.  In retaliation he would try to bite at the large thing.  With a slight growl the wolf would snap at its foe and sink his teeth into flesh again, placing all his jaw strength into the bit. (8 damage)  The would had attempted to trip his target, but like before the wolf just couldn't get his paws placed write to do so.

Take growls as the wolf bites him once more. Let's see if you can bite me know! he says while strengthening his hold on his opponent.

Round 5:
  [Free]
  [Move]
  [Standard] Grapple check to pin, flurry of blows 1 (25), second grapple check either to pin (if first fail) or damage (21), damage 12

Status:
  Initiative: 3
  AC (Touch AC): 18 (17)

  Damage Taken:  7
  Damage Dealt:  2

Effects: +2 Deflection bonus to AC, +10' to speed

Final position: P04

OOC: Q1. How many grapple attempts can a character make in a round?
A1. The number of Grapple Attempts is based on your Base Attack Bonus (BAB). BAB less than +6 allows 1 grapple attempt. BAB +6 to +11 allows 2 grapple attempts, etc. (Source: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20050322a ) Note, PH p156 states that you can attempt to start a grapple multiple times if you have “multiple attacks”. The text should have clarified that this meant “multiple attacks” based on a higher BAB, not multiple attacks due to Flurry of Blows, or because your character has Claw, Claw, Bite.
Examples:
Human Monk, 1st level (BAB +0), using Flurry of blows is only allowed only 1 grapple attempt. If the first strike hits he can attempt a grapple. If grapple fails, he can still attempt a second strike, but cannot attempt a Grapple if the strike succeeds.
· Human Monk, 8th Level (BAB +6), using Flurry of blows is allowed 2 grapple attempts. The monk can attempt to grapple twice due to his higher BAB (not because Flurry of blows allows 3 strikes). His first grapple attempt will use his +6BAB, but his second grapple attempt will use his +1BAB.

Q3. If I have multiple attacks, and I begin a grapple after hitting with my first attack, can I still make my successive attacks?
A3. Usually no. An exception is allowed when the attacker is at least 3 size categories larger and has multiple ways of attacking.

Q9. Can I do more than one action in a grapple?
A9. Yes, if you have a high enough BAB. Your BAB determines the numbers of actions you can perform. Thus, a Fighter with a BAB of +6/+1 could attempt to pin an opponent, and if successful, also attempt to do damage on his turn. If his attempt to pin fails, he could attempt to pin again with his second action. Remember, the second action uses the secondary attack bonus (+1 in this example), not +6.
