The hunters had provided clear and concise information with regards to how to go about finding the boars, and even without them, Augusta likely would have found an easy enough means of detecting them. The area was largely barren of wildlife, some of which might have been due to the hunters, some of which due to the wolves themselves who may have taken that extra level of aggressiveness and applied that to significantly limiting the available wildstock in the immediate area. After about an hour of walking htrough the area, al the while keeping an eye out for any sign of a heretic, she happened up what looked to have been fresh tracks that had been set by a pack of wolves. Four of them she could clearly tell, maybe a fifth, maybe even a sixth, but certainly a pack that was moving like how the hunters explained it to have been. Following the tracks, it only took a short time before the wolves had been within her sight, though to fight them all at once, while easily doable, was nothing something that she was as interested in doing. Rather, she got a little bit creative, heading towards the wolves, throwing a small rock which managed to hit one such that it would head towards Augusta. As soon as it had come within even remotely close range of her, she delivered a quick, swift strike against the wolf’s head, knocking it out at the very least. It might have died from the injuries before all was said and done, but it would survive for right now.
As to the other wolves that were now aware of her presence, four of them in total, they rushed towards Augusta. She did not worry too much about them, as immediately 8 swords materialized before her, all of them floating within the air and assembling themselves in such a manner that they formed a small garrison wall between her and whatever was going to come against them, in this case being the wolves. Like mindless animals, the wolves rushed headlong into the garrison of blades, each of them being severed apart by at least a blade, if not two or more. Their screams echoed throughout the area, otherwise silent up to that point and following it as well. With the other wolf still on the ground and unresponsible, she took it upon herself to have the wolf delivered to the province of Baska. For whatever time it was still alive for, it would be more than enough to thereby enable her to have whatever test might be done upon it conducted in a more private setting without the wandering eyes of either hunters or other predators that may have lurked and may have been attracted to the blood. As well, there might have been something more scientific to the whole infection that might have provided for herself and give her reason to believe that this was in fact the work of heretics and infidels.
