As the eve crawls along in the town of Vulkwasten, an eerie howling can be heard in the distance. Wolves, certainly - predatory animals of similar breed not exactly uncommon this deep into the Valenwood. But something seems almost... wrong. The wet, humid air is thicker than usual, the night animals have ceased their nighttime songs, an unnatural chill blows off the water.
A mer ran into the tavern not too many days ago. He was worse for wear, and mentioned something of cultists. It seems he's not the first or the only person to have been caught. Though he is very likely the first and only to escape.
Best you don't go out at night.
OOC Info
Quite a few of you wanted a werewolf story line, so here it is! If you have ideas for another story, please post them here.
A cult of crazy werewolves and Hircine-worshippers has set up camp not too far from Vulkwasten. It appears they are kidnapping people (while these people seem random, they all share a common thread - beast blood), and doing terrible things to them so that they will do their bidding. They seek power, and will raise an army of werewolves, no matter how unwilling the participants are.
Event Schedule
Monday 6/29 - A Mysterious Man
The mer, Thorthil, arrived a few days ago telling of crazy cultists that had captured him and drugged him, then used different toxins mixed with magic to brainwash him in a sense. Now another strange mer appears in the town, and he calls himself a Werewolf Hunter. Perhaps the guards along with anyone looking to help should ask the two some questions.
Additionally, the guards should put a notice out for anyone who would like to join the fight against these supposed cultists, and begin to organize those who want to help.
Friday 7/3 - Search & Rescue... Or Not
Those who agreed to helping should organize themselves into search parties, along with the guard. Meanwhile anyone left in the tavern should keep an eye out for suspicious activity and perhaps reinforce some of the windows...
The party will stumble upon a not-so-small camp. Though it will be clear they aren't yet equipped to take down such a group. The members of the search party should return and report. Throughout the upcoming days it would seem some members go... missing...
Monday 7/6 Missing Persons
A handful of members are missing, and by now it seems this is not simple coincidence. And to make things stranger, the Werewolf Hunter is gone too. Maybe the cultists took him as he was a threat to their plan? A band of werewolves show to attack the people of Vulkwasten, as the cultists are looking to rid themselves of the noisy pests that stumbled upon their camp.
Friday 7/10 Once and for All
It's time to end this. Those looking to return the town to a normal state of things will band together and take down the cultists, as well as take back their friends. Anyone who was forced into lycanthropy by the cultists within 3 days will be taken to get cured.
