Hawks and Serpents IC

Set aside your peaceful ways
Prepare for war
Melt down your ploughshares
And take up your swords
We will see the flesh laid low
The bodies fall
The most high that none may know
Watches us all

09:00, Thursday, Mid-Spring, CI 250
Northernshire Fields, South of Nordrake, Northern Reynland, Hindrun, Prime Material Plane
The morning breeze brings the smells of spring to you with a blast of cool, wet air. The skies are clear for the first day in over a week, and a soft cacophony of birds and insects enjoying the sun can be heard by any that care to listen. A few errant flowers bloom by the sides of the road, adding small splashes of bright colour to a landscape otherwise predominantly brown and green. In the distance, farmers can be seen tending their fields – further afield are forests beginning to regain their leaves after a long winter.
You have been hired by Sir Baldwin – an old knight with a reputation for generosity – to drive off an unusually determined pack of wolves that have been attacking his livestock, and are heading to his estate now. In return for your services, you've each been offered a reward of 100gp, along with connections to some of the nobility – and the promise of possible further jobs.
The road ahead winds through the hills and around the nearby farms, eventually bringing you to the edge of the forest. Light filters through the branches and budding leaves, and the trees rustle in the wind. You see two young women kneeling at a small marble shrine off to the side of the road, perhaps thirty feet ahead of you.
Suddenly, you hear a low growl from the undergrowth, followed by a wolf's howl that sounds very close...
OOC: Can I get spot checks from everyone?
You see a few dark blurs out of the corner of your eye, but they moved too quickly for you to follow.
You see a few wolves dart out of the shadows. They seem to be closing in on the women at the shrine.
