Message: <blockquote data-quote="Luinnar" data-source="post: 5756344" data-attributes="member: 44459">[FONT=&quot]Shall we go? [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Dr. Dominiani says, putting on his hood and leading the way. One again you travel the way back to Skald. The air is crisp and cold from last night's rain, but not unpleasant. During the walk Dominiani points out with his gloved hands various wildlife and plantlife native to the region. The pups follow behind. Dominiani seems to be pleased by their presence.About midday the party stops for rest and a bite to eat. Dominiani offers around some sandwiches he packed, ham and cheese, as well as a canter of wine. He also tries offering some sandwich to the wolf pups, but despite his kindness towards them they seem leery of him. After lunch the party heads back on the road and reaches Skald that afternoon. Remember nobody is to know I am here, that man that is hounding my beloved may have spies, Dominiani whispers, pulling his hood up to further cover his face. She should be at The Old Kartakan Inn, he says leading the way to the familiar building in which you met Akriel before.You better lead the way, I don't want to cause suspicion, Dominiani says stopping at the door. Standing on his tiptoes Jax opens the door, and is greeted with the familiar sight of the doorman. You majesty! It is an honor to see you again! the man says bowing to Jax. Mistress Akriel is here and I am sure she will be happy to see you, please let me lead the way to her.The doorman leads the way past the common room and down a passage. He then opens a locked door with a key and leads the group up some stairs. Guests to see you my lady, he says, bowing and exiting.Akriel is sitting on a sofa next to a table, partaking in a light meal. Guests? I don't remember... she says, confused.[sblock=Arcana = 25 (rolled)]You sense a magical aura around Akriel, one that was not there before. It seems that she is surrounded by some powerful enchantment.[sblock=Arcana=28 (same roll)]The enchantment seems to be a spell used to alter ones appearance, it looks like this women is not who she claims to be![/sblock][/sblock]It is lovely to see you my dear! Dominiani says pulling back his hood. Your friends were successful! I have the Crown of Soldiers with me. Finally with its power I will be able to protect you and rid you of that blackguard who hounds you. He says, pulling the crown out of his backpack.Thank you my love, you have done well... Akriel says reaching towards the crown.I hope I am not late my love, I came as quick as I could. Another familiar voice calls out from behind. You turn around to see another women coming up the stairs. The light of the room hits her face and shows that it is the face of Akriel! I hope you were not waiting too lo- [/FONT][FONT=&quot]YOU![/FONT][FONT=&quot]the other[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Akriel cries, pointing at the first Akriel. Dominiani quickly pulls the crown out of her reach.Oh my! the first Akriel shouts stepping back. It is him! she says pointing at the second Akriel. The man whom you saved me from before! It all makes sense! I just today found out that he is a wolfwere and can change his appearance at-will! He must be masquerading as me! That means I have been betrayed!Akriel says pointing at Dr. Dominiani. He, he, he is a Vampire! His real name is Daclaud Heinfroth! He must be working with that terrible man! Please protect me from them!I had enough of these games old man! The second Akriel shouts to the first. I was not ready to take the next step in our plans, but it seems you have forced my hand! It is too bad you know too much. the second Akriel says turning to the party. I was going to let you live, but it looks like I will have to get rid of you along with my father! Shall we my love?Yes I think so. Dr. Dominiani says, you see his kind faced now replaced with a menacing fanged grin. The second Akriel gives a toothy smile. Soon the teeth lengthen, the jaw turns into a muzzle, and her hair starts to envelope her whole body. Fingernails grow into claws and her legs lengthen causing her to tower over everyone in the room.  The second Akriel, now a wolfwere, claps her clawed hands and two white wolfs bound up the staircase, growling at the party. You can hear the wolf pups whimper under their hiding place beneath a nearby table.[/FONT][sblock=Combatants][FONT=&quot]Other AkrielHP: 264/264 Bloodied: 132AC: 25, Fort: 27, Ref: 22, Will: 24 Vulnerability 10 silver[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Dr. Dominiani [/FONT] [FONT=&quot]HP: 252/[/FONT][FONT=&quot]252[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Bloodied: 126AC: 27, Fort: 24, Ref: 26, Will: 25Immune: Disease, PoisonResist: 10 Necrotic[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Vulnerability: 10 Radiant[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Winter Wolf:[/FONT][FONT=&quot]HP: 124/[/FONT][FONT=&quot]124[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Bloodied: 62AC: 26, Fort: 25, Ref: 24, Will: 22Resist: 10 cold[/FONT]Akriel?
