He manages to fend off the claws with his shield, but the monk savagely bites down on the warrior's neck, taking a chunk of flesh. The pain and surprise prevent Sabian from fending off the next flurry of claws and he is raked across the face. Bloodied and furious, the Skellegue rage boils forth and Sabian stops Iorghu's advance and presses the attack, stabbing out with his spear, Your sin was hubris that you could live with this curse!

Titus was shocked how suddenly this had turned violent. But when it did, he didn't hesitate to go into melee.

"Come to your senses, Iorghu!" Cassandra calls out to the monk, "Don't let Dracula's schemes rob you of who you are!"

She cannot, however, allow him to kill Sabian so she steps in.

Sabian flies into a rage at the sudden attack, stabbing the monk. Titus advances, swinging his magical greatsword, but misses. Cassandra strikes with the Vampire Killer, knocking him back slightly. Brother Iorghu dodges Chloe's fire flask. Mustafa, caught by surprise, does nothing.

Damage inflicted 15+0+7+0 = 22.

Iorghu crouches, jumping forward and attacking Sabian, then weaving to the side and trying to bite the lighter-armored Titus, but none of his attacks land. The monk's wounds close slightly.

He says to Titus through gritted teeth, Thanks for the vote of confidence... He defends against another flurry of kicks before stabbing out with his spear. He smashes Iorghu to the ground with the Shield of the Unyielding, hoping to limit the werewolf's mobility. He's healing! Sabian shouts, and Cass calls out that only silver will prevent him from regenerating. Sabian's eyes dart to the silver sword in the werewolf corpse.

The target must make a DC 13 Constitution save or the bite wound becomes infected with Lycanthropy. If the target does not receive magical healing within 1 minute, it must make a DC 13 Constitution save at the end of each round. If it accumulates 3 successful saves, the effects end. If it accumulates 3 failed saves, it is transformed into a Dire Wolf for 24 hours. If a curse-breaking or disease-curing effect is not used on it during this time, the character becomes a werewolf, reverting to a hybrid form (normal form, plus claws dealing 1d4 damage and bite dealing 1d8 damage, resist non-magic weapon damage, vulnerable to silver weapons, +2 str/dex), and must make a DC 16 Wisdom save at the beginning of every combat to avoid attacking its allies as it falls under Dracula’s thrall. The effect can only be removed by Greater Restoration.
