"No others, just me."

" I told you all I know. May Erastil be with you." The deformed wolf turns and heads back in the direction that it came.
"I was once a common wolf but Kasthak used his magic to awaken true thought in my head and taught me to honor Erastil. After Kasthak died over a decade ago, I continued to patrol the area, alert for evil or a human in trouble but mainly staying to myself, as the company of normal wolves gives me no comfort. I felt the surge of energy flow over me and transform me into whatever I am now. For the time being I am able to hold onto mys memories and beliefs, but I fear the darkness will overwhelm me and make me nothing but a beast intent on murder. I know the source of the power is deep below the ruins, I ask you to destroy it if you can. I don't know if this will reverse the damage done to me and to others in the area, but I hope it will, and if the destruction of the source is insufficient I hope that the PCs will put me out of my misery before the bloodlust consumes me. Until that time, I will wait, for I do not wish to die just yet if I do not have to. I can feel the power growing stronger the closer I get to the ruin and I refuse to go inside lest it overcome his my to resist."
“I am Lucimar, friend of Kasthak, a druid of Erastil who watched over this area years ago. I... apologize for my current state. Some great evil has been unlocked below these dwarven ruins. It has corrupted the earth and infused flesh with its energy. Dead flesh, such as the creatures you have been following, and living flesh... such as my own.”
You hear a chuckle. From behind a nearby rock outcropping steps a gaunt, black-furred wolf with glowing green eyes. |
