"Oh, I see," says Sasha. "You're the leader then and you want to keep it all to yourself. How greedy." She walks up towards Kalar as she speaks. "I would gladly serve under you. hehehe. Anything you say goes, leader."
Despite his companion seeming to abandon him, Voulaire seems unphased. He looks Tammytharn, then Rachelle, and then Lynda up and down very slowly. He blows a kiss toward them all.
"We will follow your orders. As a sign of good faith, let me introduce the person that was watching our back in case this went badly. Can't be too careful."
"NAMPHOODLE!" cries Voulaire. With that, a figure covered in a burlap robe emerges out of the forest. It hurries towards the party. As it gets, the party can see that it's eyes and mouth have been sewn shut and it's hands and face seem otherwise horribly scarred.
"Namphoodle, we will be serving Kalar now," Voulaire says as he motions towards Kalar. "Shall we be going then? The town is a few days away still."

Lynda laughs slightly, amused at Voulaire blowing kisses to her and the other women in the party.

Her attention then turns to 'Namphoodle'.

"I'm glad to see you will work with us." Lynda says. "But if you don't mind my inquiring, may I ask about your companion, Namphoodle? It's appearance is rather...interesting."

Sasha speaks up, "Oh, Namphoodle is harmless. He likes doing that sort of thing. You can do whatever you want to with him. Maybe you and I could use him together tonight." Sasha all but rubs up against Lynda while talking to her.
Voulaire speaks up then, "We see you have a servant too." He nods towards Hrulgin as he says this.

"He...likes it? That's...new." Lynda thinks. She also tries to keep her cool, despite the fact of this woman getting too close for comfort and being quite suggestive. And she clearly has no standards either, but that's besides the point.

"So." Lynda says, stepping back to get Sasha out of her comfort zone. "Is it safe to presume you two came from Castle Amber? If so, what was your experience in there like?"

She's trying quite hard to shift the conversation another way, and hope she moves on to someone else, like Tammytharn.

"That's were we became werewolves," Voulaire and Sasha say, almost in unison. Namphoodle remains silent and unmoving. "We found a scroll saying we needed to find a sword and a mirror or something, but we haven't seen anything like that and we've been here for a while," said Voulaire. "Is that what you are all looking for? Do you have any clues?"
For the first time, the two don't seem to be actively trying to seduce the party.

"Indeed we are. And yes, I do have a 'servant' as you call him, but I prefer to think of Hrulgin as more of a colleague in this endeavor."

Kalar is rather suspicious. He doubts if these three will actually follow orders. Still, some information will be useful.

"Tell me, how was your run-in with Charles? I believe it was he who turned you into a werewolf?"

Situation relatively diffused. Lynda puts her chastity lies on hold to attend to more serious business.

"Yes, we too found that scroll." Lynda says. "We were pointed towards some of the local areas. However, we don't really know if the items are there. We don't have all that much to go on, but we might as well try."

Lynda thinks about what Kalar just said.

"So he's lying to provoke a reaction?" She thinks. "How curious."

Voulaire looked at Kalar with a tinted head, "Who's Charles? Was he the one that turned you? No we were blessed with this form by a room full of tiles with letters on them. It's hard to even remember what things were like before we entered that room.
Sasha buts in with, "Let's go find those items! I can't wait to see the outside world again."

"I agree, we should be headed off." Lynda says. "We have a lot of distance to cover, and there's no point in dawdling on the open road right now."

"Very well then."

Kalar notes their response. That's very, very interesting to know.

"Let us be off then, unless my comrades have further questions? If not, I suggest you three lead the way. We are not quite as accustomed or familiar with these parts as you three seem to be."

Kalar leaves out that he would rather be able to keep an eye on them, preferably from behind where he'll see if they try anything.

To the Lumberjack, Tammytharn explains (trying not to let the werewolves hear) "Kalar only became a werewolf recently, and I believe he would be very happy to be free of the curse. He isn't normally the type I would trust, but we went through a lot together in Castle Clover, and I feel safe enough around him"

When she has a moment to speak to Kalar privately, she will ask him: "What do you make of that Namphoodle thing? Is it undead?"

Kalar thinks for a while, then says, "No, I believe not. But I don't trust them. I have the feeling they'll turn on us the first chance they get. What concerns me though, is if their bloodlust was something they had prior, or if being werewolves did that to them. If the latter, then I am concerned that I will become a liability. But we shall cross that bridge when we get there, we have far more pressing matters at hand."

Kalar thinks for a while, then says, "Tell Coulton and Rachelle to keep an eye on those three, perhaps keep them between the two of them. Make sure Lynda has her bow ready. Hrulgin and I will shadow you from the woods, it's probably best if a werewolf and a ghoul are not seen on the open road. If I detect any trouble, I will give you a signal."

After thinking about what the wolves said about the room full of lettered tiles, Tammytharn remembers how they got the demons out of Lynda and Kalar

Looking at Voulaire's ragged clothing, she says "Were you injured in your fight with that terrible wagon? You must be awfully scratched up. Let me help. How does this feel?"

She casts "Cure Minor Wounds" on him.

The affect Tammytharn was looking for didn't occur. No squeal from a ghost but Tammytharn did get a reaction. "It feels wonderful my dear." Voulaire slides his hand down Tammytharn's back, not stopping at just her back. "I'm sure we can make each other feel all sorts of things if that is what you wish."

"Just trying to be helpful" says Tammytharn coldly, as she moves closer to Lynda and Rachelle
