Disease in Pyramid of Shadows (spoilers)

Well, my party has just lost their first PC since Keep on the Shadowfell. The PC is still alive, but it's terribly unlikely that she'll be able to escape the terrible fate that befell her.

Yes, she's now a werewolf. Or rather, given the changed nature of the disease in 4e, she thinks she's a werewolf. Being a dragonborn paladin, I approve of the disease not actually turning her into a werewolf... just a homicidal maniac!

No-one in the group has the ability to cure her and, given their trapped state, neither can they find someone with the ritual. So, she's locked in a secure room (the same room that held the original werewolf), and there she'll stay. When the party escapes, I doubt she'll be able to come with them.

This was our first experience with disease in 4e, and I must say that I really, really like it. That the end state of this disease can only be cured by spells? Cool!

Yes, the PC flubbed her Endurance checks badly, as it only took two nights for it to consume her. (So did the dwarf trying to Heal her!) The checks even failed the revised values for the disease. :)

Cheers!
