[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 4455629, member: 46559"] Phelan nods. [color=seagreen]"A wise precaution Master Jinx."[/color] He rides ahead of Jinx, conversing cheerfully as you travel. It is early autumn by the calendar, but the dying days of summer linger on in the long, golden evenings as you travel through the lands between Medibaria and the Stonespike mountains. The land is rolling and green, with sweet-smelling coniferous forests interspersed with pleasant meadows and the occasional gentle creek. Once you get well away from Medibaria, settled lands are sparse, and you go for long periods of the day without seeing any other souls, traveller or native. Two days down the road, you are riding through a heavily forested area when you come across a fallen tree in the middle of the road, forcing you to pull up. No sooner have you done so than a hideous figure stands up from concealment behind the fallen tree and points a loaded crossbow at you! [color=sienna]"Drop your weapons and your valuables, and we'll let you live,"[/color] it calls in a raspy voice that is slightly difficult to understand. On cue, there is a rustle from the undergrowth behind you, and a similar figure emerges from the woods, aiming another crossbow. The creatures are short by human or elven standards, and wiry, covered with hair. They stand in slightly bent postures, and have elongated, rodent-like faces. Sharp fangs and dirty claws are visible.

Bipedal rats, hmm.... that rings a bell, but you can't quite remember why. [sblock=DC 15]This looks like something that could have resulted from the disease known as lycanthropy. If that's the case, these creatures are very dangerous. The disease could be contagious!
