[sblock=OOC]Does this thing critical on a non-natural 20?! Crap![/sblock]
Alejandro, seeing his friend take such a huge blow, is angered. He doesn't have time for this.
[sblock=He rages![/sblock]
He swings with all his might again, trying to somehow pin the beast across the neck with the staff to allow Shen to pour this silver medicine down its throat.
[sblock=Attack] _: 1D20+4 = [18]+4 = 22

[sblock=OOC]Does this thing critical on a non-natural 20?! Crap![/sblock]
[sblock=Error] Whoops, no, nothing nearly as glamorous I'm afraid. I just misread the number and went off on a tangent. Sorry Trogdor, you're not as injured as I thought. Remove the crit damage. Mind you, it was still pretty nasty. Thanks TGG. [/sblock]
 


[SBLOCK=Rolls] Attack Roll on Werewolf: 1D20+5 = [2]+5 = 7
And time to spend that Inspiration: Attack roll against Werewolf (Inspiration): 1D20+5 = [15]+5 = 20 There we go.
Damage roll on Werewolf: 1D4+3+2D6 = [1]+3+[3, 1] = 8
To make this work, I’m readying an action to move and attack at Shen’s direction on her turn. That’ll leave me open for a counter attack, but hopefully the fight will be over.
[/SBLOCK]

Daedarai adjusted his grip on the dagger as he saw Alejandro try to wrangle the beast. Catching the idea, he called out to Shen. “Get ready, when he screams get that down his throat!” Seeing her nod of understanding, he dashed in and stabbed at the werewolf’s open flank hoping to cause a scream of pain.
 

[sblock="Plan"]Since Mina's turn still hasn't come, I'll put my plan here to be executed when appropriate.

I'm gonna grab a couple forks, one pointed up and one down, in my left hand, holding the vial in my right. When he opens his mouth to roar at something, I sprint forward and shove both hands in his mouth. The forks might prevent him from chomping down on my arms fully. Then I let go of them to yank the stopper off the vial and pour it down his throat.[/sblock]
 

Mina continued to hang back- she wasn't going to bolt for the door, but she wasn't going to mix it up with this, this monster, either. She glanced around the room, trying to make some sense of the situation- her eyes widened when she realized that Shen had the antidote (?).

"Go on, you've got this!," she called. Then her voice rang out in a soaring high-pitched note- boosted by magic it rose well beyond the range of human, or even elven, hearing. To normal ears it was shrill- but to a dog (or a werewolf, hopefully) it would be simply maddening...

[sblock= OOC] Bonus action for Bardic Inspiration for Shen (+1d6 on a roll); Action for (slightly refluffed) Vicious Mockery on wolfie. (WIS Save DC 13 or take 1d4 Psychic and disadvantage on next attack) [/sblock]

_: 1D20+2 = [11]+2 = 13



With a choking, gagging sound, the little raging gnome leaps up onto the werewolf a back, the were-creature swinging him about in its futile attempts to escape, Alejandro's staff pushing against its larynx as it struggles to breathe. Orange juice and bacon plates get knocked across the table, the juice sliding to the other end, somehow remains upright, albeit teetering on the edge ready to fall.




Isaac cuts into the beast, one of his strikes narrowly missing, the other seeping in with a hiss, the were-creature letting out a mighty bellow.


Daedarai readies himself, waiting for Shen to move, Mina sends out her inspiring words to Shen and further calls out to the werewolf, _: 1D20+0 = [8]+0 = 8
the creature shrieking at the sound as it desperately attempts to claw and bite at the gnome on its back:
_: 1D20+4 = [15]+4 = 19
1D8+2 = [2]+2 = 4
1D20+0 = [6]+0 = 6



+Disadvantage: _: 1D20+4 = [16]+4 = 20



And bites into the gnome, though Al appears to shrug it off, it then reaches up with a claw attack, _: 1D20+4 = [1]+4 = 5
2D4+2 = [3, 1]+2 = 6

But misses the gnome. At this point Daedarai strikes with dagger in hand as he sees Shen ready, again causing the creature to shriek in agony. At this point, Shen makes her move


_: 1D20+4+1D6 = [20]+4+[2] = 26



Opposed roll:


_: 1D20+2 = [18]+2 = 20



The werewolf struggled with all it's might, but to Shen, this was just another day wrangling a big animal in order to give it its medicine. With the two silvered forks in her hand, jammed between its jaws, it couldn't bite down, though it tried pulling its head away until Al squeezed it still as the creature just began howling in pain from the twist of Daedarai's dagger. With that, it took its medicine... All of it, as Shen pulled her hand out.


At this point it began screaming even more as the stench of burning dog hair filled the room. Skin began to bubble and burst forth on the creature revealing bloody stinking steam pockets, flesh began dissolving and bubbling into muck as the creature almost seemed to unravel. Bone began to splinter and break rapidly as it formed further and further inward, until a screaming half elf lay writhing on the ground, sweating and burning amongst a puddle of gore and blood. As he was screaming, he reached for his torn rags and grabbed a piece which he shoved in his mouth. He then proceeded to reach for another vial, which he shakily poured onto another rag, which he placed on his face. "An hour before.... Agony stops, knock...out". He stammers before going unconscious from the fumes on the rag.

Daedarai stands there for a moment taking deep breaths as he absorbs the last minute. He mindlessly flips Shen’s dagger and hands it back to her hilt first before crouching beside Tro’leera and examining him. “Well, that was… unexpected. I’ve only heard stories about wolf men and I actually thought that was all they were. But, Tro’leera said this was a sickness. What kind of sickness transforms a man into that? Do we take him to the clerics to cure him? Alejandro, you shouted that he had the Red Death. Is this the Red Death? Are we about to go to Peer’At and be attacked by hordes of these things?”

He rocked back on his heels as his line of questions dried out. “I actually thought our lives were complicated before he came to breakfast.”
 

Alejandro breathes hard, slowly recovering his composure.

He snatches up the glass of orange juice that was balanced everso delicately on the end of the table and takes a big swig. Wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, he exhales with a gasp and slams the glass down.

"I don't know, but he had a red rash. He's been talking away to himself. Sounds like it. It also seems like he has the cure - or at least a way to control it. Tro'leera here may just be the most important man in Is'Merith, right now. If he can make this silver medicine in enough quantities, he could help keep the whole city safe."

He crosses to the fallen half-elf and crouches down by him.

"You, my friend", he says to the recumbent form, "You are the man who's going to save Nora. You're also going to be a busy boy."

He stands and addresses the group.

"Apologies for my abrupt behaviour. Mina, I startled you the most. I must seem the most uncouth of men to you. I apologise."

He bows deeply.

"Anemone, you are certainly not shellfish. That fork trick was brave indeed."

He examines his wounds.

"Um. I've read that werefolk pass their disease by their bite. I need to visit the clerics. I don't want to be a wolf gnome. Troll Ears here will also need to be looked at for a cure. But I must try and find Nora, still."
