The beast within is something that we agree most good characters would struggle with at some point. Yet we don’t normally see Royalty struggle with such a problem… Wait yes we do! So tonight we have the classic trope of a royal struggling with the beast within.
So be on your toes as we get a bit feral in tonight’s adventure!
The Beast Within
524WeBeWi
After leaving Queen Lorel to her lunch, the party got busy asking around the castle for any more information that they can get on what the queen was suffering from, what the cure was and what else could be causing the problems that she is facing now. Yet despite all the rumours, from those willing to spill them that is, they all agree that they don’t know what it was that she had or know what is going wrong.
But they do get a name, Brother Shaemus, the man who was hurried into the castle, spent some time with the queen and then left without many more words. While the party request help finding Brother Shaemus from the guards they are crossing near the servants quarters where they hear a howl of pain. Rushing to the scene they find the healer from yesterday, Brother Daryl, and the maid, Karlynn, leaving a room at the end of the hall.
‘Well it looks like you’re just in time. The potion wore off and Tolf is awake.’ Brother Daryl said with a weak smile. Thanking the healer and the maid the party entered the room. Tolf was sitting up against the head of his bed and looked tired at the party. ‘I guess you’re here to make sure I’m not some frothing beast too. I already told Brother Shaemus that I was fine and that I wasn’t some animal. But you know how those healers can get.’ he said as he reached a shaky hand towards a cup.
After the party explained what they where doing he looked at them worriedly. ‘It wasn’t her fault. Her Majesty was not like this before that man healed her and then after that she became wilder. Queen Lorel is from a neighbouring kingdom and I came with her here. We were worried that her affliction would carry to the child and that we wanted to treat it discretely. But I don’t think that the healer, Shaemus, knew what he was doing. She may not appear like she is still afflicted but a man knows.’ he added. When the party looked at him confused he realised.
‘Oh… You didn’t know she was a werewolf?’
