Part 3: Of Wolf and Man

[GreyWolfVT]

The Hermit

the old fisherman hermit looks at Mathias and replies
"Skrimshaw be what I widdle outta fish bones."
the he turns to reply to Krakus
"Werewolves bah aint werewolves it be the curse that haunts this place. Some odd dark druids off in them woods done cursed this town. Them druids can change inta any critter they want."

[Dram]

Krakus- Looks at the old hermit. Dark druids? Why was this town cursed? You were right Iffin shapechangers.

[GreyWolfVT]

The Hermit "Eh who knows wit dem dark druids er an evil type not like normal druids."

[Dram]

Krakus- We need to ask Rethor about this. See if he knows where there Lair is

[thesniperknight1]

"Are you the hermit? Really? You seem a little........out of it? Yeah, I will go with that"

[GreyWolfVT]

The Hermit
looks a Pheras and says a word that is not known to any of you.

[Nuke66]

Matias stands there halfway putting his skivvies back on. "What?" he asks

[GreyWolfVT]

The Hermit slaps at his other arm killing a mosquito "Sorry bout that. Saw a mosquito."

[Dram]

Krakus- Gives the hermit a confused look. You guys can stay and continue questioning the hermit. I am going to ask rethor about these dark druids.

[GreyWolfVT]

The Hermit "He aint gonna believe ya. But i seen em i tells yah. All cloaked and gray skin. They be dark druids about the forest." it is fast becoming clear to you all that the hermit is not entirely "sane." Even more clear as he pulls in his line and the bait on his line is a dirty boot sock.

[Dram]

Krakus- Looking for Rethor near the town office. When he finds him he will ask Rethor About these so-called dark druids. Rethor my friend is there any truth in the words of old hermit about "Dark Druids" . The Ole man seems a little off, but I must ask.

[GreyWolfVT]

Krakus easily finds Rethor near the town guard building.
Rethor "The Hermit don't listen to him he's out of his wits. He's been talking about dark druids since the first werewolf attack. Yet nobody else has seen these druids. We dismissed his information and ignore him. It would be wise if you folks did the same. He is an old fisherman gone back from too much time in the sun on the lake."

[MonkeyWrench]

Canis(Crow) simply shakes his head and leaves the group to questioning the hermit.

How many nights until the next full moon?

[GreyWolfVT]

This night will be the full moon.

[Dram]

Krakus- We just had to be sure. Dark druids would require different tactics. Do you know of any Druids groves nearby? They would know of any we werewolves in there area.

[GreyWolfVT]

Rethor "I've no knowledge that any druids live anywhere near our town. I'm not sure what the old hermit was seeing but it was not druids."

[thesniperknight1]

Pheras slowly steps away from the hermit and follows Krakus

[Nuke66]

Mathias finishes dressing as he readies himself to depart the company of the old wise fisherman. "What makes you think it is druids anyway?"

[GreyWolfVT]

AS the party leaves the hermit and Rethor is answering questions eventually everyone meanders back to the Inn near where some of the pit traps are set and ready. Stumbling upon a dead body near the back of the Inn slightly concealed and it looks as if he was killed by some beast the scene looks nearly identical to the grim scene that Rethor and his men painted for you in the first home of the werewolf encounters.

[Dram]

Krakus- Arothor can you tell when this person was killed. Krakus looks over the body to look at the wounds
