Mao chanted a spell, releasing beams of light at the wolves.

(OOC: Spending 30 MP for 3 targets. Magic Attack Roll - Mao Hitcher rolled 1,8 using d10,d8. 23 damage to each)

The wolves all flinch from the attack, although the Ghostwolf seems much less hurt by the spell.

It charges forward jaws snapping at Heather and she screams in pain as they clamp down on her arm. Heather chants a quick spell and her flesh nits back together.

One of the wolves leaps at Mso but Ruvik dives in the way and it bites him instead, his return blow catches it in the jaw and badly wounds it.

The second wolf moves around to bite Heather from behind badly wounding her as it snaps at her calf. Xiao moves forward and gives Heather a potion to help her injuries.

The most wolf turns to face Mao and howls, and from the corner of her vision several ghostly wolves, leap towards her, but she is able to resist the effect.

Mao attacked the most wounded non-ghost wolf.

(OOC: Attack roll - Mao Hitcher rolled 8,6 using d10,d10. 14 Damage)

The Tome crashes into the wolf and it collapses.

The Ghost wolf snaps at Xiao injuring her as it chews her arm. Heather steps up and chanting and unleashes a ray of burning fire at the Ghost wolf, but the other wolf jumps in the way vanishing as it is burnt to ash in a flash.

The Ghost wolf growls and launches the ghostly wolves against Heather in retaliation, but she is able to avoid the spell.

Ruvik moves up and raises his hammer, only to overbalance as he catches a root. The wolf takes the opportunity to strike him, and he's weak from the sudden blow. Xiao pulls out a poition and studies it for a moment before shrugging and throwing it over the party.

(OOC: The whole party recovers 30 Hp)

Mao attacked the Ghost Wolf.

(OOC: Attack Roll - Mao Hitcher rolled 10,1 using d10,d10. 16 damage)

The ghost wolf yelps as Mao bonks it on the head with her tome. The Ghost Wolf turns on Xiao again and unleashes another attack of ghostly wolves, but she is easily able to avoid it.

Heather spins her staff and tries to strike the Ghost Wolf but misses as it jumps aside. It lands next to Ruvik and tries to bite him, but he blocks it with his shield. Ruvik strikes back at the wolf getting a solid blow to its ribs that hurts it. (Ghost Wolf in Crisis).

Xiao circles behind it and leaps towards its back, digging a dagger into its back.

Mao kept on the Ghost wolf.

(OOC: Attack roll - Mao Hitcher rolled 7,2 using d10,d10. Spending FU to reroll with trait. Mao Hitcher rolled 3 using 1d10. Total of 10 and 13 damage)

Mao slams the book down on the Ghost wolf's head and it collapses to the ground with a final pitiful growl.

The others all sigh in relief as it stops moving, "Well that was terrifying," Xaio said as cleaned her daggers.

"That was something," Mao said. "But...wooo! We won!"

"We did," Heather said "That creature was dangerous, so its good we stopped it from hurting other people."

Ruvik hugged Mao "You okay hun?" he asked her.

"I'm alright, what about you all?" Mao asked, as she was swallowed into the hug.

Rubin rubbed the side if his head, "My head is ringing a bit but I'm fine," he said.

"We should be fine," Heather said checking her injuries "They are all minor, a few cuts and scrapes."

"I'm sorry, but I've used up all my magic," Mao said.

"I've still got a little, but since it's only minor injuries. I think if better save it. Just in case," Heather said.

"Besides we will need to get some deer meat, right?" Xiao added.

"Right, that shouldn't be too hard," Mao said.

Xiao used one of her daggers to cut the tail off the Ghost Wolf, "Proof, we took care of them," she said.

Then the group headed back towards the outer woodlands.

"That sounds like a plan," Mao said.

It doesn't take the party long to find some deer, and soon they had a fresh pair of kills, Ruvik slung them over his shoulders "Right, lets get these to town then." he said.

"Woo! I wonder what I should order for supper?" Mao wondered aloud.

Heather nodded excitedly "A good meal, would be nice after today. It's been pretty exhausting hasn't it?"

Xiao groaned "Dont encourage her, she's a bottomless pit as it is.." she said.

"Oh, Xiao, how much could I really eat? You got all the height," Mao said.

Xiao sniffs "Yeah, it's true I'm taller," she preened "But me and Ruvik have seen the way you eat." she said.

Ruvik raised his hands defensively "Hey, now don't drag me into this."

"I'm not that bad," Mao said.

"Be nice to each other," Ruvik said as the group neared town.

Mao grabbed hold of his side and looked up at him with glistening eyes.
