[QUOTE="Luinnar, post: 5644114, member: 44459"] [OOC]I did not realize that Rogues have the best daily nova ability in the game! :eek: [/OOC] After several minutes and the usage of tools that require thumbs, the party manages to free the people trapped in the house. After stating that they are coming inside Dorn opens the door and to Jax's relief they do not fire upon the party. The family still seems frightened, but soon Dorn calm's their fears and fills them in on what happened. The husband and wife[COLOR=Wheat][COLOR=White] follow the party outside to see exactly what has stalked them these many nights. [/COLOR][/COLOR][B][COLOR=Wheat]You said[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=Wheat][B] it walked upright but when it died it turned into a wolf?[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=Wheat][COLOR=White]Maria asks.[COLOR=Wheat] [B]Strange, for there is a legend of such creatures.

In a drawer Brenn finds a list of names: Akriel, Ludwig Blitzstein, Janice Giles, Harkon Lukas, Doyle Angelus, and Rachel Randolf are all listed, but no reason or indication of why the names are written down can be found. In another drawer is found a trail map showing roads leading both to Harmonia and to the border of Bluetspur. A wall safe in the house holds a collection of silver, gold, and pure iron weapons. Also inside is two diamond studded belt which Dorn and Quagmire quickly grab. Finally in a back room is box of four normal wolf pups. They yelp as the party approaches, scared. They don't seem to be dangerous. [GM]Treasure: Quagmire & Dorn: Diamond Cincture (wishlist) Waist Slot +1 item bonus to fort. at-will, healing, minor action: If there are diamonds left you spend a healing surge and the item bonus is reduced by 1 and the diamond inside cracks. It is restored at the end of each extended rest.[/GM] [/QUOTE]
