Ramon Mendrazo and the other 2 merchants (who's names I missed) met us for breakfast. We are 2 days from our destination and we head off with the military men in the wagons. Jakar has had dealings with this merchant house before and is wary of them. We arrive in the evening at another Inn, The Scarlet Cloak there are no rooms left, but we are invited to eat at the Inn. A fine flagon of ale, and some fine boar and we sit at the bar for another. We leave the merchants in the in and press on. We pass through another small settlement without incident - on the way out of the village Cenwyn was attacked by wolves, we ran to his aid. Straight into an ambush. Ravel ran to the right to get to one of the shapeshifters, Tevoth fired a ball of force at the wolves and Iggy bolted for the other one to the left of us, stabbing into the neck of our ambusher. He attacked back at Iggy missing him narrowly. Ravel's target charged at him and just managed to hit him. I charged the wolves and slammed my axe into one. Jakar ran up beside my target and slashed his longsword across the beast.

 * We discussed (at length) how to get over the bridge, we have at Jakar's idea, decided that we cross saying that we are off to see the procession at Umiond, and stop at the "Coming of Dawn Inn".  We cross the bridge without incident and go into the Inn.  Getting rooms we settle down and get a meal for the evening. Ravel, got into a game of dice with some merchants.  They say that they have seen other Dragonborn in Las Velas.  We retire for the evening having agreed to meet the merchants in the morning and head with them to Umiond. Ramon Mendrazo, Gonzales Mendrazo were their names.

Ravel, called on the power of Avandra and crushed his horrible hammer into the beast. One of the wolves attacked me, snapping and snarling at me and knocked me down, another wolf attacked me and missed. Tevoth launched a missile of force into one of the wolves and Jakar avoided their attacks. Iggy stabbed into the beast before him and it looked the worse for wear. The beast attacking Ravel landed a few blows, staggering and slowing Ravel, patting out the fire that was burning him. Iggy was hit by the beast attacking him gnawing at his legs. I tried cleave through one of the wolves but missed, opening up Jakar to slash at the beast and me moves behind the wolf I was attacking, flanking the wolf with me, kneeling to Cenwyn he helped him back to his feet.

Ravel shifted and attempted to slam the beast attacking him, missing it. A wolf attacked me from behind knocking me prone, while the beast I was attacking took advantage tearing at my throat. I felt a surge of energy from the armour and just as well as the 3rd wolf attacked me as well ripping at my arm. Tevoth launched a missile of force into one of the wolves and Iggy tore the beasts throat open with his dagger. Cenwyn got up and moved out of the fray. The beast attacking Ravel hacked at him, ringing off his shield - shifting away. I stand up swinging my axe into its face cleaving it in half. Jakar attacked the beast inspiring me to attack another wolf but i missed.

Ravel persued the beast that had backed away from him at smashed his hammer into the beasts face crushing bone. Attacked from the side I was knocked over again but the 2nd wolf missed. Tevoth launched a missile of force into one of the wolves. Iggy threw his dagger at one of the wolves attacking me, slamming into it's side then it flew back into his hand as if he had never thrown it at all. Cenywn moved back and fired an arrow into the wolf's hind quarters, sending it yelping away. The beast attacking Ravel, swings at him, sword clanging off the armour. I hooked my axe into the wolf before me and sprayed him with acid, Jakar moved allowing me to attack again but I missed - Jakar's inspiring words gave me more energy to fight on.

Ravel attacked the the beast before him calling on the power of Avandra and knocking the beast out with a well placed blow to the head, throwing the beasts weapon away. Attacked again by both wolves i was knocked prone. Tevoth launched a missile of force into one of the wolves, and Iggy attacked the wolf behind me stabbing the beast in the back of the head - and dropped it dead. Cenywn fired an arrow into the wolf's hind quarters, sending it yelping away. I stood up and regained my composure, and Jakar stabbed his sword into the beast.

Ravel turned to the final wolf and brought his hammer down on the beast - crushing its skull. He said "Sit!" to it as he killed it.

Turns out these beasts were long tooth shifters, decended from werewolves they often run with wolves and ambush travellers. Ravel interrogated the beast and let him go.

We find an empty barn and rest up for the remainder of the night.
