I only did that becuase you literally did not have time to plan. I stopped rolling because that was the only time you got the opportunity. If you have alternate suggestions for what to do when the enemy has intuitive, and you don't even have more then a second, I am all ears. If you had passed the notice check, you would have got to plan at the very beggining.

I didn't mean to say that accusingly, sorry. Text doesn't carry tone well. I just meant that we didn't get to plan, that's all, so I came up with a plan for when we don't have a plan.

Dire Wolf Ambush
  • Threadmarks
    • You decide to head for the edge of the forrest to experiment in relative safety. Unfortunately, you never make it. As you are walking through the trees, you are ambushed by a group of Dire Wolves. They were downwind of you, so you couldn't smell them and they were too quiet to hear, so you were taken by surprise when they appeared. Luckily, when one of them lunged for you, you mmanged to spin away, coming off with only a light gash, which immediately started healing. You cast a fireball, hoping to temporarily disorient them, but when you threw it at the ground, you only hit yourself, although, not severely.

    While you are distracted, a second dire wolf attacks you, aiming for your arm. You try to dodge, but all you mange to do is cause it to take most off your arm, instead of all of it. The pain is horrible, making you want to scream, but, you don't. You ignore it, as terrible as it is, because you know that you must to survive. You cast another fireball, but, realizing it might not work, you cast an ice bolt right after, in the same breath. Good thing too, because it failed again, although, it may have bought you the half of a second you needed to finish casting the ice bolt.

    Unlike the fireballs, the ice bolt succeeds beyond your expectations and hits one of the dire wolves in the chest, taking it out of the fight, if not out right crippling It. You don't get any reprieve though, for another dire wolf attacks. You attempt to dodge once again, but do not do so well, and gain a deep gash on your stomach. It seems apparent that they are just playing with you before taking you down for the kill.
    Desperate and panicking, you shut your eyes and release one more fireball that you try to pump extra power. Finally, it works, you mange to disorient the dire wolves and get your bearings.

    There are three dire wolves, counting the one you hit, and they are a little shorter then you. The crippled one is in front of you, while the other two our on your left and right, respectively. They are about twenty feet away, and are disoriented, although you have a second or two, at most, before they come out of it.

    • Which direction has more cover? I recommend we slash at the one in that direction, and use the cover to buy time to heal the arm enough to use magic while fighting with the sword.
     
    We could kill one with Ice while he is disorientated. Then, when other charge at us, we literally punch it with fireball, blowing both its head and our arm off.

    God, i love regen. Most badass ability there is.
     
    [x] Kill wolf on left with Ice spell to head
    -[X] Stab the wolf in front of you in the face ( or chop)
    --[X] Growl at the last wolf to scare it off
     
    [X] Back up, if we can, to keep both of them in our sights.
    [X] Shoot Bolts at them. Center of mass. It doesn't really matter where we stick them, it'll probably hinder them for long enough to focus on the other one, so getting off as many shots as we can is a priority as opposed to pin-point accuracy. This is lucky, because we don't have an arm to spare to use as a crutch for the spell so they'll probably be less accurate.
    [X] Point your sword at the wolf you aren't firing at. Get ready to engage it. If the wolf you're shooting at is incapacitated by your shots, then switch to firing at the other wolf.
    -[X] Blast the wolf you aren't Bolting with a Fireball, to keep it off balance while we deal with the one we're shooting at.

    Edit: Changed.

    You can't cast and hold a sword with the same hand. You can cast without out using your hands, but your accuracy will suffer even more. Your left arm is completely useless.
     
    [X] Shoot Ice at left wolf until it sticks. Slowly back as you do so, making space.
    -[X] Shoot Ice at other wolf when you kill first one.

    I don't see need for anything complicated, although Firebolt-punching would be fun.

    My vote is basically an over-complication of this, with the addendum that we keep our sword pointed at the other one, so I'll change mine.

    Yes, our accuracy will suffer. Are you saying that there's almost no chance of us hitting anything if we only use our mind?

    ...Well then.

    [X] Shoot Ice at left wolf until it sticks. Slowly back as you do so, making space.
    -[X] Shoot Ice at right wolf when you kill left one.
    -[X] Jab sword upright in the ground upright when you've backed up enough, for easy grabbing in case one charges you.
    [X] Fireball right wolf when he gets his bearings.
    And again.

    [X] Use Nova Glacium on the wolf to your right. Start running, and keep using Nova Glaciums until it is either dead or you get some cover, whichever happens first.
    -[X] If you get to cover before the wolf is dead, keep running.
    --[X] If you manage to recover your arm in time, switch to a sword and magic approach and kill the most heavily injured wolf.
    --[X] If your arm is still too injured by the time the wolves catch up, Nova Glacium the lead wolf.
    -[X] If wolf dies first, charge the most heavily injured remaining wolf with a Sphaera Ignifera.
    --[X] If that wolf dies, use Nova Glaciums on the remaining wolf's feet to pin it in place.
    --[X] If the injured wolf doesn't die, kill the other one using Sphaera Ignifera.

    Problems.
    1.) What direction could we run in that would allow us to shoot at a wolf while running backwards? If we stumbled, that'd be... bad'd be a word for it.
    2.) What about Left wolf?
    3.) Most heavily injured wolf is crippled by a bolt to the chest. I don't think he'll be getting up.
    4.) You seem to be applying different tactics to each wolf, when they can all be solved by "Bolt to the face, fireballs to stun".
    5.) Why aim to cripple these things? If we have a good enough shot to do that, we could just kill them instead.

    6.) (Unrelated to plans) This is going to increase our Wolf Faction Points by a lot, if we win, because they're obviously ninja wolves that we must consume to harvest their ninja magic.
     
    1) There is no direction which would prevent a stumble.
    2) Left wolf requires we turn around to strike as it was our left arm that got torn off.
    3) Hence why we're ignoring him for the first part.
    4) That's the point.
    5) I want one alive to try to tame. I'm not gonna have the girl go out of her way to keep one alive, but it is a goal I have in mind.
    6) That it will.

    1.) Up a tree.
    2.) No, just point our arms to the left.
    3.) Sorry, line "1.a.I" confused me in that regard.
    4.) I mean, without all that complicated running and contingencies.
    5.) If we cripple it's paws, I don't think that it'll get better.
    6.) Maybe we could get a Cute fang from this? It's both probably a possibility, what with the three wolves to get side-effects from, and vital to my long term plans, after all.[/half-joke].
