Immediately Gerdy jumped to her feet, screamingly wildly in a booming voice. She stepped over the bait, putting herself between the wolves and the bear cub. Waving an axe over her head like a wild woman, Gerdy stomped at the ground and pounded her chest, making herself appear large and rabbid.
"Stand yee ground!" She shouted at her company.

(+1 Intimidation)
Two of the wolves, the runts of the group, turn tail and flee before the screaming woman. At a snarl from the alpha, a black beastly thing with matted fur, the rest held their ground. Then they lunged, deciding they were more hungry than fearful.

"Use the traps and stay close!"
Jormun brings his spear up, ready for their charge. (Spears 86; Crossbows 40; Chain&Shield; Happy the Falcon.)

"Leave a few ov them 'live if yee can." Replied Gerdy, dropping her head while clenching her fists.

Dacey swiftly drew an arrow and aimed it at the wolf nearest to her, ready to discard the bow and draw swords when needed.

The six harrenhal guardsmen circle up with their spears leveled beside their charges as the ten remaining hungry wolves surrounded them and attacked, led by their alpha. A wolf lunged at one of the guardsmen, teeth finding purchase at his neck, where his chain armor ended. The young man screamed as the beast savaged him, trying to beat it off of him. Gerdy's attempts to take a wolf alive were met with one nipping at her heels, biting her below the ankle, though it was quickly tacked by her snarling hound who grappled with the beast. The traps were unfortunately made for a bear, not wolves, so were almost useless in this situation. Jormun pierced a wolf in the shoulder with his spear and Dacey finished it off with an arrow to the side, the beast collapsing with blood foaming form its mouth. A guardsman managed to skewer another. Happy, seeing his opportunity, landed on the bear cubs back and began to try and fly away with it for a snack, seemingly frustrated when it proved too heavy.
(2 Wolves slain. 1 Guardsmen takes a Heavy Wound. Gerdy takes a Light Wound)
The struggling guardsman on the ground stops struggling as the wolf upon him tears out his throat. Jormun drives his spear though its eye. Gerdy buries her axe in the skull of the wolf battling with Warrior. As Dacey drops her bow and draws her swords, the alpha pounces on her back, reopening some of the wounds from her bandit battle as it snapped and clawed at her flesh.
(1 Guardsman slain, 2 Wolves Slain, Dacey takes a Light Wound. +2 Axes for Gerdy.)
Though the wolves are outnumbered now, they fight savagely. Two gang up on a guardsman, hamstringing him and assaulting him in tandem, trying to find purchase in his armor to dig into bone and sinew. The large alpha wolf manages to force Dacey to her stomach, continuing to claw at her back as she struggles to roll over and stab it. Gerdy and Warrior, working in tandem, manage to put down another of the beasts. Another leaps at Jormun, who blocks it with his arm, the wolf biting down on it like a chew toy. His armor thankfully holds.
(1 Wolf Slain, Guardsman take a Heavy Wound, Dacey take another Light Wound.)
Jormun guts the wolf hanging from his arm. Dacey manages to throw the Alpha from her and force it back with her blades. The guardsmen manage to save their downed compatriot and fight off the two wolves gnawing at him, putting one of them down. The alpha howls and the three remaining wolves retreat into the brush.
(2 Wolves Slain. Alpha and remaining wolves retreat.)

Jormun rushes over to Dacey as soon as the wolves retreat, still covered in wolf slobber and blood. "Are you okay, Dacey? I didn't die to a giant bear, you can't die to a giant wolf. Guards, Gerdy, what injuries?"

Gerdy was already busy tending to Warrior when Jormun inquired about her injuries. She was happy to see Warrior had not taken an wounds while facing the wolves, the hound was tough. She rewarded him with a pat on the head and a chunck of deer meat, cut from the bate.
"Ah'll be alright," she said definitively, making sure the leash was still secure around the bear cub. She nursed her injuries, but was in fair shape for taking on a pack of wolves.
"Let us tek a look at'cha." Gerdy said addressing Dacey and her wounds. Not waiting for the girl to oblige, Gerdy got to work, using her basic knowledge of survival medicine to patch up the warrior princess.

(+3 Medicine. Dacey will be free of her penalties the next day.)
Dacey had only taken two light wounds, so other than a few bites and scratches, she was in no real life threatening danger. Nonetheless, Gerdy managed to patch up the deeper wounds and disinfect them with some local herbs.
Warrior takes the treat eagerly, tongue lolling and tail wagging as if this had all been some game. The guardsmen help their wounded companion up and get to work seeing to the corpse of the other somberly. Even savaged as he was, the wounded guard managed to give Jormun a thumbs up in response, trying to put on a brave face despite feeling like a human chew toy.
Happy is still trying to carry off the baby bear in vain, the adorable fluffball swatting playfully at its new feathered friend as if it was a game...not an attempt for the raptor to dash his brains on a sturdy rock and eat the meat.

"Thur yee are deary," said Gerdy, patting Dacey on the shoulder. She then moved on to patch up the wounded guard.

(+3 to Medicine again. This is ridiculous.)
By some miracle, Gerdy manages to get the heavily wounded guard patched up and stabilized. Clearly she had massive healing hands. The guard is hesitant at first to let the monstrous woman touch him, but even he has to admit he feels much better by the time she finishes.

Jormun grins as he spots the bear playing with Happy, although he is completely aware of his murderous companion's intentions. "You're a miracle worker, Gerdy. Shame we couldn't capture any of the wolves, but there will be another trip for that. We'll bring the fallen back to Harrenhal and give them both proper burials. Is there a sermon for a hound?" Giving the final line with a half-smile, he moves over to the cub and gently waves his falcon away.

Gerdy was not one for soft hands, it was no surprise the guard was uncomfortable during the process. In fact, Gerdy made a poiny of groping the man several times, getting a firm hand on his crotch while applying a bandage.
"Be a gud boy, an' rest." Gerdy said to the guard with a wink.
Without skipping a beat, she continue to labor, knowing the value of daylight. She began to carve up the slain wolves, cutting their pelts one by one.
(Survival: 50)
Her hands bloodied from the work, Gerdy looked to Dacey and Jormun, "Ah'm goin' aftor tha' back wolf. Ain't nevor seen a beast like tha'. Worth a fortune, dead or 'live. Are the two ov yee comin wit' me?"

The wolf tracks are easy enough to find, though Gerdy could likely just follow the blood.
Happy looks pissed at being denied its small fluffy prize, but then Happy always looked pissed.

Jormun gives a slight shrug, looking around at the rest of the group. "If they want to continue the hunt and finish the wolves, it is the group's decision, but we cannot guarantee that there are not more waiting."
