Message: <blockquote data-quote="MummyKitty" data-source="post: 2703051" data-attributes="member: 36179">Mattihus stops in his tracks and his face pales.  "Good heavens milady... a village of wolf people?"  He is silent for a moment as he ponders the horrific thought.  But, after a brief thought he regains his composure."Not to be contrary, but from the legends I've heard, werewolves are not creatures that would congregate in anything larger than a pack.  Nay, a lone individual is more common.  But not an entire village..."  Mattihus seems confident of his information, though he is obviously still disturbed by the possibility.Again he brightens as another thought occurs to him.  "This village is inhabited by some people that I have heard tell are less than honest, and truly they may be heathens.  But, I also know there are some good folk here.  Take the Rezinis for example.  They may not attend the church services that I can recall, but they keep herds of sheep and goats.  Surely a beast of the field would not submit to a werewolf master.  Simple though they are, they can sense these things you know."His brow furrows. "But, the villagers are not all so kind.  Their leader in particular is a mean one.  He allows slavery and often purchases poor souls from Chezk lands to fill his needs. Doesn't treat them well either.  Now that I think about it, I remember hearing a tale that he left one of his girls out in the winter as punishment for not cleaning his house well enough. Of course, she expired overnight... just horrible.  His grief, from what I heard, was akin to what one might feel upon losing a favorite shovel in the field..."Titus, listening to the old man's story, starts to get impatient.  "We must make haste to the village if we are to seek shelter there for the night.  It's possible that these people are being plagued by the werewolf, or wolves, themselves. We may find common ground in a shared enemy... To avoid upsetting them, Pavel should not use his talents in their sight.  If these Rezini are good folk, perhaps they would shelter a band of wandering artisans for the night?"</blockquote>
