-----Looking down everyone can see that this werebeast is also changing. While this occurs, Seth finishes his covering of the now naked female form with his web spell.
-----The Dread Pirate tenderly moves his shoulder about, wincing at the pain of the bite. He then says, "Arrr, I'm glad the one that bit me is dead. As fer the other one, I say we turn it over to the authorities. Maybe they can study it or somethin and come up with a good cure fer lycanthropy. I'd say we'll be needin one fairly soon now. I'm bettin that I'm infected. And while it would be pretty neat to be immune to normal weapons, the trade-off doesn't seem worth it."
-----Marast reaches down to help the Dread Pirate to his feet while keeping his eyes scanning the trees. "One more wolf. Big one," the elf says quietly as he looks around alertly.
-----The forest continues its silent presence when suddenly a sharp cawing is heard overhead. Albert is seen perching on a high branch.
-----Seth stops in his tracks, as he is about to investigate the cottage, when he hears Marast say there is another wolf around. He looks at Albert and asks the bird if there are any more hairy ones near by.
-----While waiting for Albert to reply he slowly draws his silver coated dagger and inches out the door towards the others where he asks Kazel, "Do you think we should kill this one now? I think you should. If there is another one and this one gets loose again then we could have trouble, especially if this wolf is bigger."
-----The Dread Pirate starts to agree with Seth, then hesitates and says, "Hang on a minim. If'n these critters operate in a pack frame o' mind, whaddya ye think the likelihood is that the leader of the pack will abandon one o' the females? Especially if'n his pack has already suffered significant losses. I'm willin to bet that he'll come after her if we take her prisoner and tote her around with us. Then we have a bit more say in where the battle will take place. And we can prepare a bit better fer it. I say tie the bitch up. But strap several o' the silver caltrops to her, so if she starts to change the caltrops will be driven into her hide. And put her in the wagon with a silver dagger at her throat. At the first sign o' change, we slit her throat and dump her."
-----Overhead Albert is seen hopping up and down on the branch as he looks in all directions.
-----Marast begins searching the ground again as the rogues discuss their plans. The elf frowns as he carefully skirts the area around the cottage and for a few moments, he vanishes behind the small dwelling. Soon he is seen coming around the other side of the home and his frown remains as he approaches his employers.
-----"Marast see no other tracks," he says grimly but then he looks at the Dread Pirate as if to verify his next statement. "Big wolf with these two last night."
-----Seth seems to relax and then puts away the silver coated dagger. "According to Albert there are no wolves nearby the cottage, so I shall reenter the cottage and have a look around."
-----As Seth moves within the interior, Marast looks at Kazel and the Dread Pirate. "Marast have bad feeling," he says before adding, "Big wolf could hunt us or friends on wagon." He pauses as he awaits their reaction.
-----The Dread Pirate nods at Marast's comments, "Aye, the big wolf could be huntin our friends right now. But if'n these things have a pack mentality, then he wouldn't have abandoned these two. On the other hand, what do I know about werewolves. Alright, let's kill this one, then race like hell to catch up to the others. Just in case."
-----The Dread Pirate then hauls out his cutlass and stiffly, favoring his wounded shoulder, staggers over and lops the head off of the tied up woman.
-----Seth walks outside as Dread kills the werebeast in woman's form and silently watches the sky waiting for the others to get ready to move. He adds after a while, "So we follow the wagon now?"
