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)

Get the Druid in our group to cast charm animal and then head north

@Reaverwolf I assume the party is ignoring the pups and the druid is charming the adult. Then moving on. Probably a wise choice.

@Jessmari yes, no damage caused and no fuss made
Jessmari · 41-45
@Reaverwolf True, assuming the druid (and the party) plays his cards well and is long gone before the spell wears off. The dice don't always play nice lol

@Jessmari or you persuade your new friends to go play elsewhere. Give you that headstart and you only have to be far enough away to not be a threat. But all down to those fiddly fates of the dice lol

@Reaverwolf Right. May the dice roll in your favor and the dm be in good spirits lol
