===Introduction===
There's no mistaking the howling. Under the circumstances, it would take a great deal of wishful thinking to convince yourself that you're hearing wolves.
"We should get a bloody move on," Hugh says.
"They're close," Rakshara says.
"Yes," you agree. "We don't want them stalking us, and attacking from behind when we're in the middle of a fight."
Hugh grunts, but he nods.
The howling stops when you're halfway up the slope. Even human ears would hear the crunching of the snow under your boots, let alone sharp lupine ones. So you move faster, lest they try to hold the higher ground against you.
But you needn't have bothered. When you reach the top of the slope, which widens into a large clearing in the middle of the snowy evergreens, your enemies are a dozen paces away -- their wolfish bodies hunched over the remains of a macabre meal.
Three -- perhaps even four or five -- human bodies lie between the werewolves. It's impossible to tell their exact number at a glance. They've been torn to pieces, limbs ripped from torsos and innards yanked into the sunlight. From their state, and the blood smeared around feral jaws, it looks like the creatures were having quite the feast.
"Good!" one of them growls. "More meat!"
===Conclusion===
"I didn't know werewolves could speak," Tessa says. "In their wolf forms, I mean."
"Don't suppose they usually have much to say," Hugh replies. "Too busy ripping folk up and eating them to have a nice conversation."
"More Frost Wyrms," you say.
You indicate a discarded shield that lies a few paces away from the bloody banquet and its now dead patrons. On its round wooden face, depicted in simple yet artful strokes of blue paint, is a dragon -- not so different from the one on your own shield.
"The blue wyrm watches," you whisper -- without quite knowing why.
