(CSRHoD) Creamsteak's Red Hand of Doom II [IC]

[renau1g]

"We can't let these creatures be allowed to run loose onto the area. Even if they aren't allied with the hobbos, they would still terrorize every one. I think Larian mentioned that silver was useful against them and we found this axe" Pender says, reaching back and pulling out the double axe they found earlier. Prepared to focus on the weapon.

[sblock=OOC]
Pender will need a full-round action to switch focus from greatsword to axe, but he wouldn't want these creatures running loose around the region. I think we could take'em. If I get a full-round action now, Pender will do it.

"More likely the one larger wolf-creature wreaked havoc on the creatures of the horde, and these lesser werebeasts are either agents of the horde or free-roaming evildoers. Perhaps the single beast fights to protect the missing townsfolk- even if it does not, it might be an ally." Tyrla paused for a moment, considering. "If we can get their attention, and set up a choke point, we ought to be able to hold them long enough for Larian, Avril, and I to roast them with magic. I think it would be worth it..."

 

[SelcSilverhand]

"I do not think we should back down from this challenge. Let's try to hold them at the chokepoint. I will stand with you and keep you from falling in battle."

Siobhan moves to follow behind Pender and Warren.

 

[Redclaw]

I agree, and finding a way to mass them together will make excellent use of my fireballs, Larian adds his piece to the discussion. I will also do my best to provide some protection to the group.

Avril - Human Druid - AC 18 - hp 55/55 - Spot +15 - Listen +15
Mandla - Riding Dog - AC 25 - hp 45/45 - Spot +5 - Listen +5

Avril frowned when she heard Warren's words, and then, while considering her own opinions on the matter, listened to the discourse offered by her allies. "I think it's strange that there are so many of them. This many werewolves - this many with lycanthropy. It makes me wonder..." Suddenly coming in with an idea, she offered it to her allies. "You know what I think? I think these werewolves ARE the townsfolk. I think perhaps the leader was the original werewolf and gradually it;s been turning the village into werewolves. It would make sense given the killing of the goblins and hobgoblins and the disappearance of the townsfolk. Perhaps it's worth considering that if I am correct, these creatures might make powerful allies against the horde." She looked at her friends expectantly.

Avril's Character Sheet [/SBLOCK]

"Do you think you could speak to them Avril? Are they similar to the wolves of the forests?" Pender asks hopefully.

 

[Creamsteak]

Tyrla, Avril:
[sblock]Depending on how these creatures came to be afflicted and the amount of time that has passed, they may or may not be feral. If they are feral, they would likely respond like a wolf or other animal.[/sblock]

 

[Arkhandus]

Warren replies doubtfully "I don't know how well they'd take our killing of two wolfmen a minute ago. And I still don't think it's a good idea to fight them right now. I don't think they pose much threat to Brindol or the like right now, they seem rather preoccupied."

He adds after a moment, "And I don't think they're part of the gobbos'......alliance, for lack of a better word. Seems more likely that they mauled a hobgob patrol and then got busy with whatever the heck they're doin' now. So my vote is still 'go away and get back to fighting the folks tryin' to invade Brindol. I thought we were goin' to deal with that wraith-guy one way or another?"

 

[Creamsteak]

More discussion? Does someone need to take action? Right now, nobody is looking your groups way, but there's a chance any of the wolves or potentially the owlbears mentioned before might wander this way at any time. Or whatever else is down here...

There's also the sealed stone door that was passed up a bit ago, a couple unexplored passages, and you could always leave.

 

[SelcSilverhand]

OOC: When the werewolves died, do they turn back into anything? Humans or goblins or something? Either way, my vote is to try and take them out. An outbreak of lycanthropy wouldn't be very good for anyone else living around here and we're all still full of spells/hp's.
