Fight or flight?
Fight
Drawing your swords, you approach the barn. Hopefully you can keep them from surrounding you by keeping the barn to your back.
The wolves move to run through the barn doors the woman is trying to close, but when you roar at them they turn their attention on you.
Sensing you're a threat they can't turn their backs on, they charge at you.
A slash with your right hand manages to hit one, but another bites your other wrist. A second swing finishes off that first wolf, but another quickly takes its place.
The fight continues, with the wolves relentlessly biting at you while you try to fend them off with your swords.
It's a brutal fight, and you find yourself seeing red and sensing you're approaching your limit, but you manage to land one lucky strike that finishes off the last wolf.
With the wolves all unconscious at your feet, the woman from earlier pokes her head out of the barn. "Oh gosh, you've saved the farm!" she cheered, before running over to you. "You're hurt real bad, let me get you some potions!"
Just as you've done previously, you tap on the wolves and imagine looting them. Their pelts vanish as if they've been skinned, and right after that the bodies vanish entirely. You mentally check your inventory, and see that you now have five more wolf pelts. You wish there was a way you could upgrade your stats, but at least you don't have to do all the messy work that would normally go into taking pelts.
When the woman returns, a chubby, balding man follows behind her.
She quietly offers you a red potion, while the man speaks. "It seems you've saved my cows today, and I'd love to thank you in some way. Maybe you could stay for dinner, even spend the night to rest after that fight?" His words were polite, but his gaze was hungry, his eyes never leaving your breasts. It was clear he had ulterior motives.
While it was true you were injured, even in the moments the woman had been gone you'd started to recover. And the potion had provided a bump too. You weren't far from Whiterun by this point, and could make it by sundown.
