Roderick quickly sketches out a simple plan. The three of you will charge into the room, hoping to surprise those inside. Salamdros will cast a spell while you and Roderick attack the men. After Salamdros casts his spell, he will join the fight.

Roderick leads the charge into the room. You follow him, and Salamdros brings up the rear. As you rush in, the wolf throws itself at its cage door. The men turn, surprised, and scramble for their weapons. The largest overturns the table in his haste. Roderick quickly strikes the closest man, who staggers under the blow. A streak of light flashes past you and strikes the largest man. The last man runs toward the cage, apparently hoping to free the wolf. Will you sneak behind Roderick's opponent and try to backstab (241), or attack the man running toward the wolf cage (242)?
