** They are indeed attacking before you shoot - I know you said you were shooting when they growled, but I wanted to give you guys a chance to try to win them over and shooting them obviously would have prevented that... It was indeed triggered by the taking of the ring and thus actually touching the bodies. They were the dead bodies' guard wolves and while they were fine with you guys approaching the bodies, actually touching them was a no-no. Being hungry though and since their masters were dead, if you had fed them, their loyalty would have transferred to you and you would have been able to touch the bodies then.
