"You will not know if you have the Lycanthropic Plague until the next full moon when, if you have it, you will transform into a tiger against your will. There are ways to heal the affliction. The reason I ask how long it is since the bite is because they are time dependent. Fresh Belladonna, al...

"You've come to the right person then. Here's what I know about Lycanthropes: They are humans or giants cursed with an affliction which transforms them into wild animals. In this case, it's the curse of the weretiger. The condition is most prominent during the full moon, and the lycanthrope is ...

The rushed man returns and tells you that Joseph is free to see you right away. The clerk, who just at that moment happens to be taking a swig of his coffee, spits it out in surprise. "Well I never! That's a miracle for sure! Quick, go before he changes his mind!" Leaving the clerk mopping...

the clerk presses a bell on his desk three times, and in a few moments a man comes rushing out from a door behind and to the left of him. The clerk explains your problem to him, mentioning the tiger bite and that it's urgent, and the man hurries off again through the door. "In the meantime, fel...

"You say you were sent by an apothecary in a small town? You'll be wanting to speak to Joseph the Scholar, he's our archivist and something of an expert on this kind of thing, but he hates to be disturbed and I doubt he'll want to speak to you. I can send someone to ask him if he's got any time...

You head towards the indicated building. As you get closer you see that foot traffic entering and exiting the main entrance seems to be unrestricted. People with various injuries, illnesses and afflictions are making their way through the front door and the guards don't take any notice of them. You ...

The guard tells you that it's the rather fine building with the emblem of a snake wrapped round a copper pole.

You walk onwards in the direction the guard had indicated. You seem to be in quite a poor district. There are people going about their mundane daily activities, hanging out their washing, buying food, etc. and the whole area has the hustle and bustle of a very busy town. You continue down the way an...

He points to the distance through the gate, "Follow this road and you'll find it. You'll know it when you see it." He waves you all through the gate while the other guard looks on, seemingly half asleep and barely grasping the handle of his weapon. While you're chatting to the guards sever...

"Guild of Physicians and Apothecaries? That's on the Main Street.

You a member then, sir? You look the type!"

The rest of the journey to the capital city passes without note. When you arrive, the first thing you notice is the huge scale of the place. There must be thousands of people living here. It's surrounded by gigantic stone walls, easily twice your height and thick enough to stop anything short of an ...

I'll wait for him then.

I've heard nothing from Brother Charn since December, so unless I hear from him before this time tomorrow I'll be moving on without him.

I'm still waiting on Brother Charn's updated character sheet. He said he'd have it done shortly, but I assume the holiday season got in the way.

Hopefully we'll be back up and running again pretty soon.

Wow! Results results results!

These cryptic hints were almost universally bad news, so I hope none of them apply to me!

Open lock and disable device I got to wondering: How come open lock is a separate skill to disable device? If a rogue can disable complex devices like traps, why can't he/she disable relatively simple ones like locks with the disable device skill? I've decided that the two skills will be merged. Op...

Xavier takes a couple of minutes to untie the bonds around the prisoners, stripping the man of his studded armour at the same time. He hands the rope back to Vargon with a grin, "you may need this further down the road." Leaving the ambushers lying senseless by the road, everyone starts wa...
