    Miles D'Arcy - Human Druid

    *Miles rises and moves a short distance away from the campsite in the morning. Facing the rising sun, he kneels in the damp grass softly humming to himself. A short time later he stands smoothly and rejoins the group.*

    [OOC: After the vomitting incident...]

    *Miles stays a short distance away from the stranger. Miles strokes his chin observing the manner and movements of the fellow.*

    There is something very odd about this man...

    Corwyn kneels, trembling, as Sedryn examines him.

    By the morning light, Sedryn notes a greenish tint to Corwyn's skin, particularly affecting the "whites" of his eyes. Corwyn's greasy hair also has a greenish sheen to it and his unwashed locks almost take the appearance of vine-like tendrils.

    Sedryn considers an interesting diagnosis ...

    Miles, standing a safe distance away, answers Darius' question grimly, "Lycanthropy. Though a kind I have to admit I am not familiar with ..."

    Corwyn stands up very slowly, his hands raised. "W-w-what do you mean?" he stammers.

    Beams of sunlight begin to pierce the trees around the ruined inn as the sun rises. Corwyn slowly backs toward the shadows in a corner of the crumbling stone walls, avoiding any patches of sunlight.

    *Miles will move and confer quietly with Sedryn, perhaps pooling their knowledge will help clarifiy the situation.*

    To the group, "Friends, please keep a careful watch on our "friend" here. I think he is still dangerous, in spite of his current appearance."

    [OOC: I apologise for the lack of posts in the last few days. My internet connection at home has been VERY unreliable. I am working on the problem and hope to have it fixed soon. Thanks for understanding.]

    Miles and Sedryn confer while Darius and the others keep an eye on Corwyn.

    If indeed Corwyn is the tendriculos, then that would explain the acid burns on his skin and the regurgitation of Sedryn's ring and the rat bones ...

    Also, the moon is full (just one day after the festival of Highharvestide), but on the other hand, as Sheyra pointed out, the tendriculos appeared in the daytime whereas Corwyn's human form appeared at night ...

    Miles points out that plants generally are "active" during the day (blooming, turning leaves toward the sun, etc.) whereas wolves and other common "were-predators" tend to be nocturnal, so maybe the rules of usual lycanthropy don't apply ...

    It isn't clear whether Corwyn actually knows that he is the tendriculos and is just acting/lying or if he genuinely is unaware of the situation ...

    ...

    As Sedryn and Miles talk things over, the early morning sunlight begins to inch ever closer towards the shaded corner where Corwyn crouches - trembling, confused, and fearful - as Darius keeps his bow and arrow trained on him.

    Aeroz has a heavy winter blanket. Sheyra and Aeroz try to cobble together a kind of canopy to try to keep the sun off of Corwyn. Despite their best efforts, pinpoints of light peek through weave of the heavy woolen cloth.

    As the sunlight dapples Corwyn's skin, his veins seem to bulge beneath the skin, becoming almost vine-like ropy tendons ...

    Darius frowns for a moment, then says sadly "It's nothing against you, but I'd rather not see anyone eaten again pal, 'specially not me" then fires a flaming arrow, point blank towards Corwyn's throat, he then steps back a little, "Dammit. I was hopin there'd be an alternative"

    Urgh, I really wish I didn't have to do that, he seems like a nice guy, but once he changes we'd have no way to stop him.

    The flaming arrow pierces Corwyn's throat and exits through the back of his neck, shattering into a shower of sparks on the stone wall behind him.

    He falls backwards with a surprised look on his face.

    As the rest of you ready your weapons, Corwyn lies flat on his back, his eyes open, staring up into the cloudless sky.

    As you add more leaves and branches to fire, the flames leap up higher and higher until you've created a respectable funeral pyre for poor Corwyn.

    It takes a few hours for his body to be completely consumed. By the time everyone has packed up and hit the road to Urve again, it is almost noon.

    The mood is somber and no one speaks too much as your party (enlarged by two new members) heads east. Matching the sad mood, the sky darkens in the afternoon, and you ride quietly through a light drizzle until you arrive in the small village of Urve just as the sun is setting behind you.

    You encounter no other travellers on the road, and when you arrive in Urve, there appears to be little activity except around the village inn/tavern - the Copper Pot - where a dozen or so villagers are gathered for a supper.
