"Well that...is certainly one theory," Daos offers out of politeness. "I have no idea who this other mage would be, though, that he allegedly wishes to fight."

"Well that...is certainly one theory," Daos offers out of politeness. "I have no idea who this other mage would be, though, that he allegedly wishes to fight." "Maybe that employer of ours," Melvin suggests offhandedly.

Daos tilts his head in thought. "You believe our employer is a mage? Interesting. I suppose it's possible. But if that is true, and also why this human mage needed an orc army, then hasn't he already succeeded? I would imagine our employer would be dead by now, if that is the case."

Bayla shrugs and makes a face that perfectly encapsulates the sentiment 'why do mages do anything?'
She doesn't have anything else to add.

Daos lapses into silent thought as they travel. He has a great deal on his mind, and much to ponder over.

The group marches in silence for some half and hour, passing an empty campsite and entering a forest as they do. The farther they get from Delvinburg, the less full of life the land seems. By the time Gel-Thrak motions to stop, the grass at your feet is dry, and most of the woods’ trees are dead.
”Do you hear that?” he asks, drawing his spear. “Wolves.” As he says it, a faint howling echoes around you.

Daos grips his staff tighter as he looks around, trying to determine the direction the wolves are. "Be ready," he warns the others.

To Daos, the howls seem to be coming from all directions, and getting closer every second. It seems a pack of wolves is encircling you. In response, Bayla, the town guards, and the Orcs form a protective circle around Daos and Melvin.

Daos considers putting a defensive spell on himself, but decides against it. If the warriors surrounding him cannot protect him, a mage armor spell probably won't, either. Rather, he decides to focus on offense, and keeps his eyes peeled for the wolves to appear. "Watch for the pack leader. Take her out first, and the others may lose their nerve," he states.

Bayla grunts in the affirmative.
It feels... weird to be shoulder to shoulder with other orcs after so long. Her posture, with her axe out and her back to her companions, is a familiar one.

Five wolves, accompanied by a larger one with red eyes, burst of the forest and attack.

"Protect the caster!" Bayla barks, a moment before she swings her fancy new axe off her back and attempts to crush the skull of the nearest wolf with it.

The wolves rush in to attack before the group is even prepared for battle. Two descend on Hun-Lek and Frun-Wok, while a third misses Gel-Thrak by a hair. The one next to Bayla manages to bite her in the leg, and the final attacks Quentein, who blocks it with his sword. Next, the orcs retaliate; Gel-Thrak cleanly decapitates the wolf next to him, and his companions injure their opponents. The Dire Wolf howls and rushes toward the orc's leader, who manages to jump out of the way just in time. Daos proceeds to blast it with a barrage of magic projectiles, causing it to whimper in pain. Melvin rolls over to the wolf who attacked Quentein and strikes at its hide as Bayla badly injures the one next to her. Jonas attempts to shoot at the pack leader with his crossbow, but it jams. Cursing under his breath, he pulls out his spear and thrusts it at the wolf next to him, putting it at death's door. Finally, Quentein swings at a wolf and misses.

Bayla belows in pain and rage and defiance. Then she attacks the wolf who bit her again.
