As that first howl echoes throughout the area, Kain immediately gets his sword in hand. He's already preparing his ring of pain, readying himself for the inevitable battle. He'd been pretty much expecting that something would come after them soon enough... it was only a matter of time, really.

"Over there... and there..." He scans the area, pointing whenever he spots a glint of eyes stalking toward them. They're most definitely trying to surround the group, the sneaky bastards.

Kain waits and watches, holding steady... until the first one charges in toward them. After that first one, another howl goes through the pack as the rest take that as a signal to follow, rushing in for the attack. Kain starts in with the counterattacking immediately, his heavy sword slashing toward the nearest wolf.
