I'm fine with the current course of action,try to ID the source of the growling while remaining unnoticed. My part of the plan was to ambush whatever we encounter anyway. Or let Rhaemy talk to it,I suppose.

OOC:
Behind the first door to the East that was ajar, there are two wolves. They were resting as you all walked down the hallway. Perception checks and Stealth checks were made by the GM. Wolf 1 heard all of you and let out a very low, deep growl having sensed that you were all in the hallway. Wolf 2 only sensed Sapphira and Trenton.

Rolls
W1 Perception Check - (1d20+7-3), (17) + 4 = 21

W2 Perception Check - (1d20+7-3), (11) + 4 = 15

Rhaemy Stealth Check - (1d20+1), (18) + 1 = 19

Jayne Stealth Check - (1d20-1), (17) - 1 = 16

Sheon Stealth Check - (1d20+2), (17) + 2 = 19

Sapphira Stealth Check - (1d20+7), (1) + 7 = 8

Trenton Stealth Check - (1d20+2), (8) + 2 = 10

Since it's all laid out like that, Fira tries to back away as quietly as she can and signal to Rhaemy to get over there and work her magic, waving her arm and pointing.

"Shhhh! Big pointy dog."

OOC:
At that point, Sapphira heard the very low, deep growl and proceeded to the door and peeked in. Sapphira, you see two wolves looking directly at you and the first one attacks you in the doorway.

INITIATIVE ORDER:

Wolf 1 (21)
Rhaemy (19)
Sheon (19)
Jayne (16)
Wolf 2 (15)
Trenton (10)
Sapphira (8)

The INITIATIVE ORDER has come from the Perception and Stealth checks made earlier.

WOLF 1

Action 1: Strides (to attack).
Action 2: Attacks (Jaws) + Knockdown attempt
Knockdown [one-action]
Requirements The monster’s last action was a successful Strike that lists Knockdown in its damage entry;
Effect The monster attempts to Trip the creature. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the monster’s multiple attack penalty.
Action 3: Strides (backwards)

Sapphira, you take 7 points of piercing damage. The Knockdown attempt was a failure. (Roll against targets Reflex DC, DC19)
The darkness pressed against the room like a physical weight, thick and suffocating. There was no warning—only a sudden displacement of air. Before Sapphira could turn, a heavy weight slammed into her chest, driving the air from her lungs and sending him crashing to the cold floorboards. In the dim light, she catches coarse fur brushing her face, and a hot, rancid breath heavy with raw meat fills the room.

Then came the impact of the jaws. The wolf locked onto her forearm, the intense pressure knocking her to the floorboards as it struggled for dominance. A sharp, overwhelming sensation flared through her arm, making her breath hitch in her throat. She could hear the frantic scuffling of paws and the low, guttural growl vibrating from the creature's chest. While the animal's form remained a shadow in the gloom, the weight and ferocity of the movement signaled that the confrontation was far from over. The wolf attempted to knock down Sapphira but she twisted away and the attempt was foiled.

Rolls

Jaws (Bite attack) at Sapphira

Damage (Bite attack on Sapphira) - (1d6+2)

(5) + 2 = 7

Knockdown (Athletics check to Trip) - (1d20+6)

(6) + 6 = 12

Hearing the wolf's warning growls, Rhaemy quickly rushes ahead to find a spot next to Sapphira where she can see their attackers. She plants her herself and quickly yells something at the wolves, the sounds escaping her lips seeming more like the calls of wild animals than any actual language.

Secret Roll

Intimidation (Cha) - (1d20+6)

(1) + 6 = 7

OOC:
At the moment, the wolves are Hostile.

To talk down wolves in Pathfinder 2e, your character must have the Wild Empathy feat/class feature (or the Animal Empathy feat). This allows you to use the Diplomacy skill to Make an Impression on animals. You can spend 1 minute to try and improve the wolves' attitude toward you.

Rhaemy, do you have the Wild Empathy feat/class feature?
Jun 25, 2026 12:54 am
OOC:
Yeah, I chose Animal Empathy for the Voice of Nature druid class ability.
Jun 25, 2026 2:10 am
OOC:
When you use your Voice of Nature/Wild Empathy feat to Make an Impression on an animal, you are effectively using a 1 minute conversation to prove to a wolf, bear, or other wild animal that you are not a threat. Your Diplomacy check replaces normal speech with body language, gentle soothing, and natural presence. If successful, the animal's attitude improves, preventing combat or paving the way to ask for a very simple request (such as "let us pass" or "leave our campsite")

You may need to revise your actions as you need a 1 minute conversation and this is Round 1 (6 seconds) into combat.

OOC:
No worries. Edited the post to a failed demoralize instead of diplomacy.

OOC:
Thanks Rhaemy!

Sheon, you are up!
Jun 25, 2026 11:49 pm
Hearing the sound of Fira in distress, Sheon reacts quickly, darting along the edge of the wall and brushing past Jayne and Trent to charge ahead and place himself in the doorway between the young woman and the wolves.

"Back beasts! Or you'll find our pack is far fiercer!" he shouts, thrusting his rapier, as he thinks to himself "Well, this will certainly be a foolish way to die."
OOC:
1) Movement of 25 feet -- 2 spaces east through "willing?" allies (10) + 2 spaces diagonal SE (5+10) = 25. Think that gets me there?
2) Attack with rapier
3) Raise shield

Rolls

Rapier attack (1d20+3 -- w/ no panache) - (1d20+3)

(5) + 3 = 8

Damage (if applicable - 1d6 +2 Precise Strike) - (1d6+2)

(3) + 2 = 5

Jun 27, 2026 12:49 am
Sheon, you dart across the battlefield in a blur of motion, leaping in front of the lady Sapphira. You plant your lead foot, execute a sharp, elegant lunge with your rapier, but the wolf instinctively snaps its jaws, batting the gleaming blade aside to leave empty air.

Jayne, you are up!

Rhaemy is standing just south of Sapphira now.

OOC:
can i get past allies and into the room with the wolves?
Jun 27, 2026 3:42 am
OOC:
If you have enough movement to do so,yes. RAW you can freely pass through allies,just not occupy the same space unless you have a feature that specifically says you can (like being Tiny). Entering M8 or N9 might trigger a reaction,though.
Jun 27, 2026 1:28 pm
In am attempt to protect her allies, Jayne will raise her shild, and head into the room,
OOC:
sorry for the delay. Move to M8 please. Glimpse of Redemption if an ally is attacked, Shield Block if Jayne is.
If I cant move with a shield raised, Jayne will move into the room 1st, then raise a shield.
Jul 1, 2026 2:47 am
Jayne, you move into the room, use the Glimpse of Redemption reaction ad then Raise Shield.
