Its skull crushes like an overripe melon.

The remaining wolf turns back around the stone encased head of the dead beast

In reply to dire wolf (msg # 245):

Predictably, Kirpich readies another stone missile. "Chunky, stay close, mate."

[Private to GM: Rolled 9 under skill to create stone missile.]

He has knocked another arrow and is searching for a target ...

In reply to Aethul (msg # 247):

He lat of the dire wolves ha run behind the beat ad is out of sight.

Balir will charge the beast until he arrives at the head.  Then he will walk around the head on his guard, ready for the wolf to potentially attack.

OOC Step and wait his way around.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 246):

Kirpich will hold his ground, and missile, in case the beast re-appears, in which case he will launch the missile at it's head...

[Private to GM: Rolled 15, 5 under skill, so miss unless SM is +2 or greater.]

He also stands ready with his bow

In reply to Aethul (msg # 251):

The oversized canine is backing away slowly and growling. It is about twelve yards away from the beast, but only Balir can see it.

Balir is confident the creature will run, so he slowly advances on it.  long the way, he announces to the group loudly "I have the large wolf in front of me.  It is holding it's ground.  You may advance."

He moves forward to the downed beast and looks over it at the wolf, aiming his bow   Time to go Boy, or you become a rug somewhere.

In reply to Aethul (msg # 254):

Kirpich, missile in hand, will approach the other side of the beast, inviting Chunky to stay close.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 255):

Asyou all come around the carcass, the wolf turns and runs at great speed.

Balir will wait sufficiently long for the animal to be long gone, and then go about his work.  He's not a butcher or a cook, but he can work with the people who do have this experience to try and get meat for the farm workers, and whatever else they might need.

OOC  Balir may be arrogant, but on this point he knows that he isn't an expert.  He'll for the most part follow directions if someone knows what they are doing.

In reply to Balir Ironhide (msg # 257):

Kirpich will send his stone missile at the beast as a parting gift...

[Private to GM: Stone Missile, attack, vitals? Or torso if a cr damage cannot damage vitals. Rolled 6 under skill, so three under for vitals, 14 cr damage...]

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 258):

You are aiming at the hindquarters of a fleeing wolf, moving at high speed. Vitals are not accessible. And due to range, you get a torso hit whichknocks the wind out of it with a yelp.

That wasn't necessary, it was fleeing Kirpich.

In reply to Aethul (msg # 260):

"That was a bit much."

In reply to Marlena DuBois (msg # 261):

"It was never going to kill it at that range. But a wolf that size will hunt villagers and other humans. I wanted to make it afraid to come near humans if not remove the threat altogether. Wolfs that size are just not natural..."

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 262):

"From what I have seen, oversize beasts may be natural for this land."

In reply to Snorri Roslovich (msg # 263):

"Perhaps, but more likely something is afoot..."

Let us recover whatever we need and be on our way ...

He will take the two wolf pelts.

In reply to Aethul (msg # 265):

Even slightly damaged, they are worth $100 each.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 266):

"Agreed. I will keep watch."

If anyone has skill for harvesting organs or parts of importance from the beast, Balir will assist.  Might as well take back as much as they can carry, in his opinion.

In reply to Balir Ironhide (msg # 268):

Iq-5 or survival -2.
