A D&D encounter
You with your party are making your way through a dense patch of trees on a game trail hoping to find some food before nightfall. As you make your way through the trees start opening up to a small clearing about 20 ft. wide. Almost as if on cue you can hear the rain lazily dropping on the leaves around you. Your attention is then stolen by a howl further in the forest as if it's calling out to something.
You decide it would be a good idea to backtrack a bit to set up camp using what rations you already have till the creature moves on and the rain lets up. As you move out of the clearing you hear dead leaves rustling along with tiny growls and yips. Five dire wolf pups come bounding into the clearing playfully wrestling and pouncing each other completely unaware of your presence.
What do you do?
1. Keep moving back out of the clearing trying not to make a sound (move silently check dc 13)
2. Attempt to take the pups in hopes of training them as companions. (Animal handling check dc 14, move silently check dc 15 with noisy pups)
3. Ignore the pups and hunt what you suspect is the parent for food and pelt (tracking check dc 12, attack roll ac 6)
4. Hit objects together hoping to scare them all away. (DM roll for creature reaction)
