Event Six.

[awashmods]

If you see this hairy creature Your first choice should always be to run Otherwise you had better hope You have silver bullets in a gun.

he full moon hangs brightly over the Town, hovering so low that it almost feels as though you could reach out and touch it. It should be comforting. But as the howl of wolves fills the air, it's anything but. There are werewolves on the prowl, and their target is very clear -- the Town won't be able to last without your help.

Maybe.

[He doesn't trust it to be just monsters like the harpies, or something like that. Why would they come out? The ones that come out are never so simple.]

But you're right, that seems to be the pattern around here. Hopefully this is just a short thing we have to deal with again. We can handle it.

[unghost]

As long as mortals with no way to defend themselves stay out of the way. This is different from those other times, someone could really get killed.

[ Those bird things? Annoying, but not awful. The shadows were dangerous, but not to the in-your-face extent that these are...they're finding that at this point they'd almost prefer that talking furniture. From their perspective, human lives are already really short, so for them to get ended even sooner over something as nasty as those walking dog things... it'd just be sad. ]

Are you planning on staying out here and destroying them?

[swordfucker]

I don't think anyone who doesn't know how to fight is going to be out here looking for it.

Defending themselves? Maybe. But we can help with that, too.

[Even Dextera, who's capable of fighting, seems to shy away from danger when he can. People who prefer not to fight should stay safe. He agrees with that.]

I'm planning on seeing if I can, at least. If things get too dangerous, I know when to retreat.

[unghost]

It's probably for the best since your ability is so effective on them. [ Not that they really understand what it is. ] I will probably stay out here for the same reason.

[ It almost feels like an obligation, in that sense? It's no big deal to them if there's no threat of them getting broken, so they don't mind it, even if it is kind of gross. ]

I thought wolves ate deer. Or do they eat humans too...

[swordfucker]

It looks like they're ready to eat just about anything that moves.

[Guren stands up straighter, eyes fixed on the distance.] Speak of the devil, they're getting closer now. Get ready.

[unghost]

[ As soon as he says so, there are two pairs of glowing eyes that emerge from the foliage, accompanied by growling. They ready their blade, if only a little reluctantly, since they haven't exactly consciously killed an animal before. There's a suspicion that it won't be the most pleasant feeling. ]

...You better say something if you're about to get bit.

[ Is the last thing they say before swinging their blade up from the dirt to cloud the advancing wolves' vision, both of them stalling for a second and shaking their heads - prompting Cairn to take the first few running steps towards them with their saw held back at the ready to strike. ]
