Titus heals Cassandra and kills one of the wolves next to her with a pair of blasts. She whips one of the wolves, injuring it badly, then teleports into a nearby tree.
Sabian slays one of the wolves with a single blow, then shoves the burnt wolf back into the burning, dry shrubs. It takes (1d6)[1] fire damage.
Mustafa lays on the ground unconscious.

The wolves that had been harrying Cassandra move to join those around Chloe and Sabian. Sabian deflects all their blows, and those who would attack Chloe are diverted by her repellent and turn away at the last moment.

Mustafa woke up of a sudden, gaping for a breath of life. He had taken plenty of wounds in his experience with the battlefield, but never one that put him so close to death. The soldier priest was startled, and thinking the battle still raged on, sprawled back to his feet and raised his scepter to attack. Only he was only surrounded by allies, and his body collpased in relief. "We did it..." He managed to say, his vision blurring as he was suddenly struck by the pain of all his injuries. "Cursed be these wolves... I underestimated them..."

He looked up, trying to collect himself. "Who else has fallen? Who else have I failed to protect?" Despite the pain, he leaned on his scepter to pull himself up, and soon it was glowing with golden healing energy. "Does anyone require healing?"

As you administer potions and healing, you spy remains near where the wolves were resting. Little remains of it aside from scattered bones and clothing, and a torn leather bag. Within the bag are a few bottles, and a small leather-bound folio containing a few pages describing the newly-devised potions which the bearer apparently intended to sell.

While the others search the spot the wolves were resting, Mustafa administers healing magic on his allies by holding his scepter between his hands and saying an ancient prayer that begged for divine intervention. Followers of the Gods of Light had kept that knowledge for centuries, the first spell he had ever learned and the most important of them all. A spell to save lives that weren't supposed to be taken just yet.

The road has been gradually veering towards the lake. After you're done treating your injuries, you travel for no more than about 15 minutes before reaching an outrcropping of rock that juts up from the ground. Underneath an almost arch-like overhang is a dark doorway that, according to the sign carved above it, leads to the Laruba Monastery.

Next to the door is a rack holding some torches and a few candles, as well as a flint and a piece of metal to strike it against to throw sparks and light something if needed. You know that it will be about a two hour underground journey.

It's currently about 3 o'clock (3 hours of sunlight left). You have spent 5 hours traveling so far today.

"Alright, we made it - now all we have to do is survive the tunnels. Cloe, we could send your servant ahead with a light stone. That should give us enough warning in case there are more bats around. I'll take point, seeing that I'm the least banged up."

The sight of Lake Laruba under the afternoon sky might have been beautiful were the circumstances different. Now, the faintest red that threatened to paint the sky reminded Mustafa of the blood of his loved ones, and of every innocent soul that was suffering under Dracula's Curse. He was glad to leave the Carpathian behind, though its open arms still bothered him from the corner of his eyes, stretching infinitely north and south of the Alba Woods, hugging him, reminding him they were never really free of its grasp. Even if the fellowship survived whatever evil lurked on this side of the mountains, the headquarters of the Belmonte Order were on the other side of the Carpathian. Until then, the Curse would only grow stronger. Evil remembers, her whispered in despair. Gods of light, send for us. A ray of sunlight. A spark of guidance. Anything.

While his companions analyzed their surroundings, Mustafa set up a small fire and retrieved a delicade packett from his baggage. It contained special herbs he had brought from his temple in Constantinople, far to the East. When burned, these dry herbs produced sweet-scented smoke that billowed in thick clouds. The fire grew, the special herbs burning fast and bright. Mustafa stood and waved his arm across the smoke left, and right, and left. "Shall we cross this tunnel immediately, o Gods of Light? Those of you who listen, and those who wish to help. Show us a glimpse of the future, of the path we're bound to travel, for there is only destiny, and there is no true freedom, as evil things are evil and good things are good. Our only choice is to fight our true nature or accept it, and embrace it. Help us destroy the evil things that roam this world, o Gods of Light, and protect the good things that remain."

He looks for shapes in the smoke. Riding knights, monsters and ghosts, ruined castles, ships and sea serpents, any glimpse or comments on legends and myths, symbols that could tell him about the future.

"If evil awaits us inside, it won't reveal itself until we reach the middle of the tunnel. The first half hour of our trip should be uneventful." Mustafa shared his visions with the group. "In our current condition, if the Curse has reached the Monastery, we might not survive the trip. Especially if it won't attack until we're deep enough escape will be impossible."

"I appreciate your bravey, master Skellegue, but allow me to elaborate." Mustafa might be wounded, cursed, muddy and exhausted, but he remained polite. Dracula couldn't take away his etiquette. "Let us assume there is some evil hidden in this tunnel. That Dracula's Curse has spread towards the lake. If that is the case, we can only expect the monastery to be overtaken by creatures of the night, as it happened in Holmwood Tower." The name sounded like a bad omen in his speech. "If that is the case, than it's best we rest here, under the moon and stars."

You descend the stairs and proceed through the tunnel. It is narrow and very straight, and tool-marks are few and far between. It seems that it may have been dug partly or wholly by magic.

It is dark aside from Chloe's light-bearing servant, but not particularly dank despite going under a lake. Specially cut channels in the roof and floor seem to carry a constant breeze in from the door above, and out from the far end below, keeping the air fresh. There are reinforcing supports every so often.

About an hour into the journey, the Light spell ahead washes over two dark wolf-like forms crouching behind support beams on either side, obviously pressing themselves against the wall to hide. You don't see actual fur - more shadow in the shape of a wolf. They are already into the Bright area of the light spell.
