As Tzi stated, it was now apparent there was something out there. Leon wasn't sure it was a ghost, but there was something starting a ruckus with the rest of their group. However, just as Tzi had also observed, there was little they could do without dumping Wagnill and leaving him to his fate in the cold and the wild. They could not in good conscience abandon one comrade to save another, so they could only hope the others would be able to deal with the situation. In due time, their decision to stand by Wagnill was partially vindicated by the encroachment of a pack of wolves on their position. A number of them seemed to have eyes for Wagnill. Leon was now soundly regretting having volunteered his vessel for the stretcher. If only they could have used something else for it, he could have jumped into action more readily. Fortunately, Tzi had a move ready for the wolves moving upon them and Wagnill. They were saved from the initial strike.

It quickly became apparent that the wolves had other methods of attack up their sleeves. Frankly, Leon was surprised that the wolves were cunning enough to fathom the idea of using boulders to attack them. Even if there were no actual ghosts around, Leon was starting to wonder if spirits weren't arraying to empower any and all enemies they had to deal with on this march to Orello. [color=0076a3][b]"Hold Wagnill steady!"[/b][/color] Leon roared at Tzi. He then tilted his glaive to face the ground and rammed it in. A spiny wall erupted from the ground, which would hopefully offer them shelter from any boulders hurtling towards them. The wolves would find they couldn't leap at them directly either. Of course, it wouldn't help anyone that wasn't standing on the same path as Leon's wall. [color=0076a3][b]"We really need to regroup. We're fighting with our hands tied behind our backs here."[/b][/color] Leon told Tzi. While they had their tricks, if those wolves were half as determined as they seemed, they couldn't stay here forever. They needed someone to keep the wolves off them, or alternatively, they needed to be able to put Wagnill somewhere safe so they could use their weapons properly.
