Werewolves of Greenbank





Previous Quest: A Black Star over Sigil

Subsequent Quest: The Shadows of Icewind Dale

Company members: Asharla, Cait, Drumak, Indri, Iola, Zeerith

Meeting with Arthos
The Company arrived on the Folariel to join Arthos and Merlin. On meeting Merlin, Iola thanked him with a genuine hug, for what he did to save her ship. Arthur informed the Company that in the region, someone or something had been stirring up the werewolves. While Arthos and Merlin continued their search North, the Company investigated. In the outlying hamlets there had apparently been attacks, but there were no bodies. It seemed like a systematic sweep of the area was being done from a central location deep in the woods, and the next location likely to be hit would be Greenbank.

Greenbank
The Company investigated around Greenbank. They met Meg, who told them how she was attacked by werewolves many years ago, but was protected by her necklace. Iola want back to steal/borrow that, which Cait suspected her of doing and Iola then admitted, but then (with insight from Morgana) suspected Cait of being a Changeling and reading her surface thoughts.

Further investigation of people in the area led to the conclusion that there were already families of werewolves in human form positioning themselves to cut off the exist from Greenbank when the attack occurred. The Company warned Tafi and the chief townsfolk of the impending attack, just as the werewolves began to close in. Cait attempted to use Taliesin's Storyweaving ability but critically failed, and her Changeling form was revealed.

It transpired that the malevolent force behind the werewolves was Barthencia, one of The Vampires. The Company fought him and he transformed into a misty form to escape. He had corrupted their leader, the Lord of the Lupines, who then arrived. Asharla transformed into her True Lupine form and challenged this upstart to a duel. During this fight, she received a critical wound which left her permanently scarred. Mordred sensed something was amiss with the werewolf Lord, and Zeerith let the Company know it wasn't really a werewolf but a monstrosity of the Horror. The Company joined Ash in fighting the werewolf Lord, then the loathsome creature which burst from inside it. The townsfolk were saved.

In a day of rest, Cait brought Harri over from Sigil to work with Sal as a brewer/barkeep/assistant. Iola returned the necklace to Meg.

Ash then led the Company to visit The Werewolf clans, who were persuaded to return to their true calling and purpose of fighting the Horror and the Vampires. She was recognised as their rightful ruler, Lady Lupine. The different clans were then tasked with various activities to help in the fight against the Horror, or those who had opposed the Company.

The Company then returned to take some time out and enjoy their victory in The Celebrations at Greenbank, before heading North again and on to The Shadows of Icewind Dale.
