Mykael looks to the direction Grogdol is pointing to and seeing the eyes he quickly draws his sword and makes ready to meet whatever may emerge.
Out of Character: : posting may be delayed as I have had a death in the family
As Theaton loads his bow, everyone hears the bark of a wolf. Two come charging into the clearing splitting up, going for Mykael and Grogdrol.
Behind them follow two more, larger and with eyes filled with malice that seem to scan all around the clearing. They also split, going for Grogdrol and Mykael. Mykael notes that the only one barking and howling is the larger wolf heading for him. The others attack silently.
Theaton's first shot doesn't pierce the wolf's hide. (By default the wolf going to charge at your target, unless you tell him to stay. It's a free action for an animal companion once per turn.)
The dwarf who had just walked in raises his gun, a long, tubular contraption of some kind, as the wolves come bearing down on him. The hunter looks ready to get into melee but the wolves will be faster and upon him before he can fire.
Jhod shouts from within the cave. An animalistic voice shouts "Are you scared now?!" The man who had been in bed has grown a wolf snout, claws and feet. But the monstrosity's hands are still bound as he stands up out of bed.
Out of Character: Fighting defensively can only be done when attacking. You can choose Total Defense as a standard action.
So far that was just the surprise action. Let's continue two rounds at a time. Those who already rolled keep them, but I need a specific target and action. (For all I know Zork could be shooting Jhod )
Map is updated. It's not clear from the map but the staircase landing is actually raised, blocking Zork's and Archival's view of outside.
And remember for those outside, it's dimly lit so I need percentage rolls with attacks. Inside is normal light.
Out of Character I will get out of melee range of the wolf coming at me and then fire at it, then I will try to keep my distance and reload. I'll make sure to stay within 30 feet of the wolves for point blank shot. Remember it is against touch AC at this range. Also, I have darkvision 60 feet, so dim light wouldn't bother me.
I turn, seeing the monster standing before Jhod and instantly summon two small earth elementals to protect Jhod. They wade into combat, slamming the enemy.
I move four spaces to the left. One elemental appears behind and slightly above Jhod and charges the enemy while the first appears directly infront of Jhod, protecting him from the threat.
Out of Character: The second elemental will charge into combat, the first is not positioned in such a way as to be able to. Every small earth elemental I summon will Power Attack.

"Fall back to the temple!" Mykael shouts as he moves back up the stairs in a sort of fighting withdraw, shield and sword ready, trying to get back to the lit area as well as his comrades "We can't let them split us up and overwhelm us!"
Out of Character: : It doesn't look like from the post or the map that the wolves had reached Mykael and Grogdrol yet and so Mykael is trying to get to the temple so that the members of the party can see each other and eliminate the penalty from dim light for him since he does not have dark vision. I will include a couple of percentage rolls in the event the wolves fall upon Mykael before he can get back to the lit area. However he is only going to use one move action (Rather than using the full action to cover more distance) because he wants to save an action to strike at any of the wolves that do manage to fall upon him.
Archival's first elemental appears and slams a fist straight into the werewolf that just turned. The wolf-man reels from the hit, roaring in rage.
In return he tries to break free of the ropes binding his arms, pulling them apart to no avail. He uses his mouth to try to bite apart the bonds and they fray from sharp teeth. But as his focus is turned, the elemental takes a pot shot, slamming into him again and he goes down, catatonic.
The two normal wolves arrive at their targets, Mykael and Grogdrol, biting savagely. Mykael suffers no injuries on account of his armour. Grogdrol's face becomes a target, but he wolf only manages to bite his chest (G: 5 damage). As though trained, it twists its head to try and trip the dwarf, but does not count on his stability and Grogdrol remains standing.
Jhod, shocked at the turn of events, sprints outside to see what the commotion is about. He ends up bumping into Mykael's back to prevent himself from falling down the stairs. The light on his bobbing holy symbol makes the shadows dance, and illuminates part of the outside.
Grogrol takes a 5-foot-step back followed by the sound of a loud CRACK! He fires a shot straight at the wolf in front, hitting a foreleg. (Thanks for the darkvision reminder)
Thorne the hunter, backs up Grogdrol by drawing a shining dagger and plunging it into the same wolf's back.
Mykael slashes at the wolf before him, cutting open a foreleg which spews blood.
Zork advances up the stairs and fires an arrow at the wolf in combat with Mykael, slaying it as its chest is punctured. (On attack rolls you should have at least +4 BAB and +1 Dexterity. But the damage roll is good)
The strangest thing happens right after that. A larger wolf darts right past Mykael, who misses the opportunity attack, runs past Archival and into the temple.
The other big wolf steps menacingly towards the hunter as its skin ripples, it gets on its hind legs and transforms into its hybrid form. Muscles ripple down its arms and it seems to have a feminine body shape. Chain armour and a longsword seem to meld out of its body as it approaches. It bites at him but does not puncture his armour.
Finally, Theaton fires two shots at the wolf in the temple but neither puncture its hide. Theaton's wolf chases after its prey, but misses with a bite.
Out of Character I'll load a silver bullet, fire at the werewolf on Thorne, reload with another silver bullet, and fire again. I'll make sure I'm not in melee while firing.
