Castle Amber: A D&D Adventure

The first rays of moonlight fill the hamlet. Lynda's face goes blank and she falls over. The children all start breathing very heavily.

Tammytharn takes one look at the growling wolf-child

"Restrain him. All of them." she says out loud. she takes her own rope out of her pack, ready to help with the actual restraint, if needed.

"Voulton! Rachelle! Get In here now!" she shouts.

"I will not have you killing any children, not when I can cure them tomorrow." she whispers sharply to Kalar.

She is aware that it is possible that they are unaffected, and just growling like wolves because they have been raised by a wolf-cult, but she knows that is a long-shot

She watches Lynda, her attention divided between her and the children. Is she transforming? Where is her amulet!?

If Lynda does start to transform, Tammytharn will attempt cast "Remove Curse"

Until then, Tammytharn tries to find Lynda's amulet and put it on Lynda's neck

"Bill!"

Kalar jumps back and hurls his feather token between himself and the children and Lynda. When Bill comes in, Kalar mounts the saddle and mentally orders it to move away. He will attempt to tie himself into the saddle using the ropes he attached previously to keep himself from falling off.

Lynda's ghostly arm instantly spreads across her whole body. Her form becomes less defined and shifts wildly. In a matter of seconds she stands in hybrid werewolf form, her body completely translucent.
The child all change too. In seconds, the children become a pack of young wolves. Even the baby changes, becoming a puppy. They all skitter around, seeming to be looking for a way to get around Tammytharn and out the door.

Tammytharn gets some rope, but finds the children harder to tie up then she thought originally. She looks back at Lynda and tried to decide what to do first.

Bill the manticore zombie mount moves in the pick up Kalar as he makes a tree appear near the entrance to the house.

Tammytharn gives up on trying to find the AMulet, now it is good that Lynda is not wearing it.

Remove Curse!

Lynda almost hits Tammytharn as she rushes in to remove Lynda's werewolf curse. Tammytharn's hand goes slightly into Lynda as she delivers her spell. A loud popping sound echos through the room and lynda falls back onto the ground. She shifts through forms and is back to normal in seconds. However, she remains completely translucent.
One of the wolves takes the chance to run out the door and is now outside. It looks at the carnage of battle field and wets itself.

Tammytharn jumps to try and catch a were-pup. She intends to tie them all up tonight, and try to cure them all tomorrow when she has her spells regenerated

"Voulton! Rachelle! CATCH the PUPPIES!" she shouts, somewhat hysterically.

Kalar, now atop Bill, moves towards the were-puppy that went outside.

"I tried to be nice, child. I will not harm you, but look around. We did this. I know that some of these might have been parents, uncles, or friends. But we did what we had to do. I will understand if you want revenge. But as you and your siblings are now, you don't have much of a chance.

"I offer you recompense, as I was personally responsible for most of these deaths. I will take care of you and the other children. I will ensure that you do not go hungry. And if, years from now, you decide you still want my throat, you will have a better chance then than you do now."

He pauses, and then thinks for a while.

"However, I'm not sure if you can even understand me right now."

"That was bizarre." Lynda says, standing up. She looks at herself.

"GAH!" She cries out. "I'm...I'm totally ethereal now! Can I...come back to the physical world?"

Lynda tries to will herself back in to being physical.

Lynda flickers back to being physical for a few seconds but can't hold it and reverts back to being slightly ethereal.

Tammytharn jumps around trying to catch the puppies. She recieves two nasty little bites in the process. She only manages to grab the tiny puppy but is able to keep the rest in the room while dealing with the tiny puppy.

The wolfoutside looks up at Kalar as he's talking then around the battle field. It runs off towards the forest.


Tammytharn takes 4 dmg.

Kalar orders two of his new skeletons to run after the puppy and catch it. When it's caught, they should bring it back.

Voulton isn't sure whether or not he should try to catch the puppy escaping or join forces to be a bigger roadblock... dogs do like bones, so maybe the skeletons will have an easier time coercing him back. Deciding thus, Voulton will then move to the door and attempt to block it as much as possible. The flat side of his axe and an angry grizzly bear kind of a staredown should be enough to scoop and dissuade most of the puppies back, but if EVEN ONE OF THEM looks like it's going to get past, he's going to flat side all of them to sleepy land until Mommytharn can fix their booboos. "They can NOT be allowed to escape!"

Tammytharn thanks Voulton, and then looks around the room to see how they can best secure the whole room. After being bitten by the smallest one, she is thinking that locking them in the house until morning will work better than tying them up with her rope. If the door is the only opening, they can block it with something... if there are too many windows, this plan might not work.

The room in the small house where the puppies are is windowless. The door to the room is made of slightly rotted wood. The walls are stone though. Voulton easily keeps the other pups in the room after knocking one of them out as it tried to slip through his feet. Tammytharn takes the chest and uses it to block the doorway, it's heavy and fills up most of the doorway. The werewolf pups might be able to burst through the door but they would make a lot of noise doing so.
Meanwhile, the skeletons ran off after the wolf cub as it entered the forest line.

Tammytharn inspects the place where the were-puppy bit her. "I don't think we will know for a full month whether I am infected now...although with time-travel, I am not sure."

"Curses..." she mumbles. "I can only cast THREE Remove Curse and TWO Break Enchantment, which means ..." She counts the werepups in the room.

"3..4..5... One got away?!" She whirls and looks to see if anybody is chasing the missing pup.
