Seriously if you think your GM may run the Minion quest bit do not read this.
I have just run the first minion quest much fun was had , many minions died and 3 became infected with Lycanthopy deliberately.
Lucky scouting discovered that the preacher was a werewolf and the scouts survived (one defected and took a ship to Matharyn to get away from the werewolf and his masters, they are determined he will not escape). However after this they decided that getting bitten by a werewolf and infected would make them more valuable minions for their masters. They threw themselves into battle with the werewold got bitten and then ran away after the bite.
Their masters seem to agree with them, and in fact one of their masters is considering ways to become a lycanthrope as well.
I am considering allowing some form of ritual to convert it to natural lycanthropy , probably involving the sacrifice of a hound archon. Does anyone have any other ideas for what I could do with this slightly unexpected development?
The two Moon Dogs and Calliaste Shanda are favored celestials of the lycanthropic Moon Prince deity. He gave Calliaste the Alter Self ability at will. You could say that if the villains capture some or all of them, they can sacrifice them to become full lycanthropes.
You could have them sacrifice Brastius Star-Feather too. He's an agathion, which is an animal-like celestial.
Thanks for the point about the Moon Dogs and Calliaste I haven't used them yet , I have been looking or a good opportunity. I will see what I can do with them
