Caught sleeping in the Lion's Den, need help please.


Advice


It's been about 5 days since the party I GM for has defeated a nasty encounter with a Hunter. Every night since then they've been sleeping inside a cabin with no windows and only 1 door. The cabin is 10ft X 10ft X8ft. Only 2 characters have darkvision and one of them doesn't have to sleep. Everyone is level 10 and 6 characters total.

Here is the problem. The Hunter they fought was a Weretiger and bit & infected 2 PC's. This 5th night is the next full moon. There is no light source inside their cabin. The non-sleeping PC witnessed their transformation. Both cursed PCs rolled will saves to see if they'll remember what happened that evening when they come back in human form in the morning. One PC will remember and the other will not.

How hard will these PCs be driven into a beast-like rage/hunger?

Will the 2 tigers want to attack each other on sight to stake their claim to the sleeping PCs? Will they attack the sleepers first then each other? Or is my party pretty well screwed right now?

Does the tigers retain any feats they had as humanoid? Does their magic rings and belts worn still function?

Need ideas on what to do until they're cured for the next two nights in their timeframe. The PCs will be cured eventually and won't get to be super powered.


About the strength of the hunger/rage:
I'll probably run them as intelligent carnivores/predators, since I'm no big fan of the usual evil lycantrhope that mindlessly go on killing sprees for no reason. So if they're hungry, they'll feast on the party, else they'll want to get out of the hut and roam around until they get hungry.
If they get threatened by someone, that's a whole other story though...

About the behaviour:
I'd say that depends on the personality of the PCs in question and their relationship.
If they're close friends or lovers, they'll probably cooperate and hunt together, but if they usually don't get along, they'll fight each other, till either is dead or flees.

I'll leave the mechanical questions to someone more experienced. But iirc, the constant boni from magic items should continue to function, as do the feats of the characters (though they may not be able to use them for things like point-blank-shot).

Check out the CRB's Magic chapter, specifically the polymorph descriptor. Too sleepy to give more detail right now... sorry. :(
