Wulf scrambles up and races after his quarry, leaving all thoughts of defence behind for the moment.
Get up, then move as fast as the rules allow towards the opponent.

Bjorn, realizing that the man is meeting his end lifts him over his shoulder and carries him towards the direction of the two sleds in combat.
to the best of my ability, carry the dieing rathgar towards the two sleds, if wulf appears first I will leave the man for the second sled, if Ulberth arrives, i will stand before him and wave his hands... and try to get him to fetch his dieing companion

Bjorn slowly carries the dying man along the banks of the frozen lake towards the field where the two sleds disappeared between the rocks.

Wulf gets up and runs towards Ulberth, who runs at full speed and arrives at the sled where he will be able to grab the mead.
Sorry, I forgot you had to get up too, which costs a move action, so you cannot charge this round. You can next round though.
Wulf: stand up, move.
Ulberth: move, move.

Total distance covered:
Wulf: 910m (running towards the sled.
Ulberth 930m (next to Wulf's sled).
Wulf's sled 930m (in the clearing)

Health update:
Bjorn: 17/26
Wulf: 15/22
Ulberth: -10
Rathgar ranger: -16, dead or dying.

Wulf rushes towards his opponent, desperate to get to him before he gets the mead.
Charge Ulberth...

Wulf screams loudly and charges Ulberth, despite his fury, he only manages to slice the Rathgar's arm a bit. Ulberth roars in anger and screams "Now keep back, maggot!". With a mighty shove the muscular man topples Wulf again, but instead of taking the opportunity and stabbing him, he gets on the sled and urges the dogs to move. They do what he says and he turns the sled around and is picking up speed, racing toward the aisle again.

Bjorn unceremoniously drops the now dead warrior at the edge of the lake and looks at the open field and the forest beyond. He cannot see anything specific but hears the sound of battle.
Wulf charge:
attack: r9+6=15 vs 11 hit for 3 damage.

Ulberth: trip attack, move
19 vs 14 hit.
Opposed roll: 22 vs 19, Wulf is prone again.
He does not take his free attack but gets on the sled instead.
Move action: get sled moving.

Total distance covered:
Wulf: 930m (in the clearing, prone).
Wulf's sled 920m (steered by Ulberth)
Bjorn: 750 (at the edge of the lake)

Health update:
Bjorn: 17/26
Wulf: 15/22
Ulberth: -13
Rathgar ranger dead.

Note: It is not easy, but Ulberth might be able to squeeze past his own sled into the forest aisle. From the current position, Wulf is 10m away from the sled which is heading back. He might still be able to catch it with a move action.

Note that in full sprint (and a bit of luck), a man might perhaps keep up with a sled, but only for one or two rounds.

Wulf scrambles up again, cursing loudly the entire time. He then runs after the sled, hoping to catch up so that he can get the other man off of it.
Stand up, then move after the sled

Wulf scrambles up and runs after the sled and with a long jump, he lands on the storage area of the sled, right before the driver.
Wulf: stand up, move (run and jump on moving sled)
Jump roll to jump on the sled (DC 12):
r8+6=14, success.

Wulf is coming from the side and so he jumps onto the storage area (see the picture here: Image

By the way: I kind of like the Indiana Jones feeling of this race. Good work!

Bjorn yells ahead "Wulf, come this way"

With that he takes a moment and checks the vitals on the dieing/dead rathgar.
i'd like to know if he is dead, or not, not sure if its possible

Bjorn calls out to his brother, who hears him. He quickly checks the vitals of the Rathgar warrior, he is dead now.

Bjorn and Wulf...
