Fiend, it's one post per update -- I still haven't updated it yet
if you'd like, I can put that down as your action for the next round though.

Shady, there's no third wolf D: from your distance, you'd have to spend an entire turn getting to the wolf, let alone attacking it. Maybe you could go right, with the others?

Soz yeah put that down as my next move

whelp, sorry Shady, since I didn't want you to waste a move, I just put down go right for you. The others will need your help anyway

An addendum on combat

Unless you are fighting with a shield, combat functions in two ways. You can dodge, which is fairly self explanatory (it relies on your dexterity), or you can Counter: a risky gambit, where you roll an attack against the opponent's own attack. Whoever rolls highest gets an attack against a defense of 0.

Now, on with the update!

Lumi springs forth with blinding speed, squarely striking a very surprised wolf.

Omnibus, taken by the heat of battle, misses wildly, nearly killing a bird.

Judas's attack lands, finishing off the unfortunate wolf.

The second wolf, recovering, lunges for Lumi's throat.

Fiend's transformation is successful.

Alpha and Shady move forth, following Lost, who spots a Goblin Warrior… which promptly runs away. Will they give chase?

**

Omnibus, sorry, you rolled a natural 1 on aiming. Also, for the record, ::magic attack isn't a command. You'll notice Omnibus' mp bar did not go down, and you'll notice I allowed the command. This is because Angels do possess a ranged magical attack. Actually it's because Omnibus' stats are terrible so I had to make up for it somehow. Soz.

Lumi, with his right fist stuck in the skull of a dead wolf, roars as the second wolf launches at his body. Fearing death by jugular-crunch, he commits to a parkour roll to the north, ripping away the dead wolf's skull in the process.

:::Counters spiders

Crying out for Lost to step aside, Alpha casts a spell to slow the Goblin Warrior down.

:::Grasp of Darkness on Wolf #2

Indeed I am Judas, because I'm healing in the rain still I will attack however much wolf is left. How long is the whip? Does it count as ranged attack or not?

Sorry for the delay guys.

Shady and Omnibus, since you haven't posted within the one day timeframe, I'll act for you guys. Fiend, the whip is sufficiently long (I'll find out exactly how long when you make your attack), and yes, it is a ranged attack, and like ranged weapons, they're useless at close range. You can also punch things.

the rain intensifies.

Lumi, in his attempt to grab the dead wolf's skull, is not fast enough, and is mauled by the wolf for massive damage. Lumi gains 2xp.

Omnibus, however, is quick to cast a healing spell on him, allowing him to partially recover from his wounds.

taking advantage of the situation, Judas casts another grasp of darkness on the wolf, dealing damage. Judas gains 2xp.

Fiend hastens to join the battle with the wolf.

the wolf continues its attack on Lumi.

Audy counters the spiders efficiently, slaying them both. The third one runs away in terror. Will she give chase? Audy gains 2xp

Alpha blasts the goblin, whose back is turned, with her Force Blast, dealing damage.

moving further right, Lost uncovers a goblin warband, which promptly attack them.

Shady is quick to join the battlefield.

also edit, crap, sorry, the goblins' name should be in red, that was my mistake -- they are your enemies.

edit.

My dwarven beard senses vibrations above ground to the east. Hmm.

Audy looks around to make sure that her tunnel is secure. In the Dwarven language, there is a hundred and five different words for soil. She can pick up on subtle differences, like how the cold creeping from the surface suggests to her night is approaching.This should be enough space for the others to follow and rest if the situation above becomes too rough.

For now I shall head over to check on the east...
