[QUOTE="Sic_Pixie, post: 5934904, member: 52403"] [b]Party meet Duristan ... Duristan kill party ...[/b] Soon they are approaching the village and Grembor heads out ahead to scout the ruins. The first house they come to is a farmstead on the outskirts of the village. The ground underfoot is corrupted and wasted. Nothing grows here apart from scabrous lichen and sickly looking weeds; the trees around the village are dead with crooked branches reaching to the skies like skeletal hands bursting from graves. Grembor sidles up to the first house and peeks through a window noting that the insides seem empty; there is some sort of construction in the middle of the room but apart from that it looks like it’s been abandoned for years. Scooting through the doorway he enters the main room and finds a crude alter to something or other. It looks disturbing due to the blood and what could possibly be a human heart that rests upon it. Motioning for the rest of the party to approach they slowly file in and Pringle identifies the alter as some form of worship to the Demon lord of werewolves Jezelda which they leave well alone. Traipsing out of the building they spy another building close by which looks mostly intact, Grembor and Sayuri can hear a ringing coming from this building as it a hammer is hitting an anvil. Sayuri casts a message spell upon the Ranger and Grembor being the most experienced at being stealthy creeps up to the building which looks to be a smithy and ghosts through the doorway. Looking around the room he sees’s a figure tapping away on an anvil; it seems to sense Grembor and turns to face the startled Ranger. Grembor is surprised to see Duristan the noble hunter who they presumed died at the assault on the rest of his group by the Demon Wolves. There seems to be something more intense about his demeanor than noted previously and Grembor is instantly on edge. Duristan happily greets Grembor as an old friend and asks about the rest of the group. Grembor after stating that they are close enquires to how he got here and why the assault on him and his group did not kill him. Duristan relates that his party was ambushed in the woods outside of the Stairs of the Moon by vicious werewolves who tore them apart; he suffered some serious injuries but managed to escape into the woods for shelter thankfully his scar-ward saved him from the horrible curse of lycanthropy.
