Symon sighs and tries to drag Karl up to his room. Key word being try.
You attempt to drag the 300+lbs giant of a man up the stairs. ((6'1" and 210lbs without gear... Daaaaaamn)) You drag him very very slowly towards the stairs, almost straining yourself to do so. You realize your arms are going to be sore in the morning. (15+6) you keep going despite how tiring this is. You get to the stairs and start dragging him up. (15+0) you succeed in getting him up the stairs without dropping him. (6+6) You start to feel exhausted from this. You drag him to his room and try to put him on his bed. (
CRIT) Through some miraculous burst of strength, you pick up Karl and gently toss him on his bed. You feel energized and the previous exhaustion is gone. Thyra, who you didn't notice as you were busting your rear trying to deal with Karl, claps silently as she seen your impressive feat.
"Kind, and still full of surprises, aren't you Symon?"She smiles as she turns in for the night. ((I assume you do the same))
Wait until morning.
You attempt to stay awake for the night. (16+1, 8+1) You pass out after the fourth hour.
The night passes, and Nadarr hasn't returned back to town yet. (?) Nadarr awakes about two hundred paces from the city's gates, face up and has bloodstains in the grass around him, but none on him. You see a pile of deer bones next to you. You're not hungry or thirsty (
CRIT) or even cold for that matter... Despite that you realize your new pants are torn to shreds from the transformation last night. The beast's hunger is satisfied for the night, and you can still call upon his power when you wish again. You remember your pet is in your room still and you haven't fed her for a day. There's still some flesh left on the deer bones, but not enough to feed her.
Aurel and Cromwell awake in the cell when cold water is dumped on them. The Captain of the Guard stands before you.
"Two people obstructing the law as they hunt a werewolf... Why would you want it to escape?" (
CRIT vs doesn't matter!) His eyes open up as if he notices something about Aurel.
"Gentlemen, I want you all in the main hall. I will speak to them by myself."
The guards all leave except the Captain of the Guard. Neither of you see keys on him. He grabs Aurel through the cell and picks him up!
"Give me one good reason I shouldn't ram a spike through your damned heart this very moment, vampire..."
Oh s***...
Meanwhile...
Thyra awakes and goes downstairs and sings, but for tips and money this time. She leaves a note for Symon saying not to disturb her, she's trying to earn gold for Aurel and Cromwell's fine. The other party members awake. Some of you hear scraping on Nadarr's door
