"Aww... Are you sure? I'm sure your males can handle themselves. Voulton seems like a very capable man," says Sephora with a bit of lust in her tone. "Are you sure you don't want to talk more? I wanted to talk about your ethereal nature next. But, I guess it can't be helped."

"Oh no it's fine. Perhaps we can talk about it next time. We really must get to the matter at hand." Lynda says.

She draws her silver rapier, and gestures Tammy and Rachelle to follow.

Tammytharn and Rachelle feel whatever was compelling them to stay, vanish as Lynda nudges them to go. The three elf girls get downstairs just as five werewolves swarm over Kalar's summoned zombie ogre. Voulton managed to take them out, but without the silversheen he's finding it harder to kill them. The zombie ogre looks really banged up but all five of the werewolves that attacked are now dead.
Werewolves began to exit the forest line from all directions then. Was it two hundred? Three hundred? There were too many to count. They were a good distance away still but the party didn't have much time.

"Ok guys, here's the details." Lynda says. "Sephora wants a werewolf dead. Not just any, but the first of the werewolves. We need to take that portal over there to the past and kill it. Tammy has a compass to track it. If we do this, hopefully we'll have a better chance at getting the sword. Are you guys ready?"

Kalar nods and says, "Let's get out of here then. Ghosts! Werewolf skeletons, to me!"

He leaves the ogre behind to deter any pursuit. He feels though, that it might not be enough, so he focuses more energy into his holy symbol and summons more undead to aid it.

Summon Undead II - Owlbear skeleton

"Let's go!" Says Tammytharn. They can talk to Lady Sephora later

She moves help the others, even though she has few useful spells remaining.

She hates the idea of being sent on a mission to kill, but the implication of the time travel is clear. If they kill the one werewolf, couldn't they save all the rest? Perhaps Rao will forgive.

The party runs towards the gateway. Being the shortest, Kalar lags behind. He slows down even more in order to cast a summoning spell. The ghost he sent to possess one of the runed werewolves comes flying back.
Rachelle reaches the gateway first, it lights up as she does. Through the gateway Rachelle sees a similar clearing on the other side, only it's daytime. The trees look younger and the grass is greener.
Kalar looks back to see his zombie ogre be completely overwhelmed. A puff of smoke can be seen erupting from where it once was in the swarm of werewolves. As Kalar approaches the gateway, the werewolves are only steps away. They destroy the owlbear and move on to him. He steps through gateway last with only his skeletons behind him. All but one of the skeletons make it through before the werewolves swarm the other side. They can't seem to pass through and eventually the scene fades. The gateway back seems to be closed for now.
The clearing seems instantly different. The tower is gone. However, to the north, above the tree line, and miles away, the spires of a large castle can be seen.
Tammytharn notices the silver compass pointing southeast.

"Well...I suppose we should start seeking out this werewolf, huh?"

Lynda takes off her amulet.

Lynda's arm let's out it's slight etheral burst as she removes her amulet. She looks around to see nothing of note. There don't seem to be any ghosts in the area like there were before.

Kalar gasps for breath. Curse this tiny body!

"Before we go traipsing about for werewolves, I suggest we get some rest. Most of us are wounded, and Tammy and I have used up plenty of our spells. If we're to face the ur-werewolf, I would rather we be at full strength."

Though it was what seemed to be about noon, the party decided to rest. Their tents helped shield the light as the slept. Nothing but a few rabbits popped up through day. As night approached Kalar noticed the moon. It was the night before the full moon. The scratches and bites the party got before weighed heavily on his mind. The wounds all looked infected before they were magically healed. Would that be enough to stop them all from turning?

XP

everyone but kalar gets 6100 (this should make everyone level 10 I believe)
kalar gets 9320 (he's level 7? really?)

"Right, lads. A few of us received bite wounds, and it's going to be the full moon soon. I believe there are ways to prevent any lycanthropy, some herbs or plants or the other. Before we move on, I suggest we go find these plants. Wolfsbane, I believe it's called. I'm fairly certain that either Tammy or I can identify the plant, but neither of us are exactly outdoors, wilderness type people. I propose we split up temporarily to find the plant. Rachelle and Tammy go in one direction, and Lynda and I will search in the other. We search for a couple of hours, and then return here to where Voulton is standing guard over the camp. What say all of you?"

Tammytharn has been thinking about the risk of lycanthropy, so she has pepared an assortment of spells dealing with the removal of poisons, curses,and enchantments

First she casts <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/detect ... tm">Detect Poison</a> on herself, in the hopes of finding out whether she has been infected with lycanthropy.

She also prepares a <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/breakE ... htm">Break Enchantment</a> which she plans to try on herself if the full moon gives her even a twinge of strange feelings.

She then takes Kalar's suggestion that She and Rachelle should head west a little way and search for wolfsbane.

"Capital. Come, Lynda, let's start searching. Do lead the way, my dear."

Kalar makes sure to keep an eye out for the plant that they need, trusting Lynda to lead the way and to find the way back.
