When we last left off, Nala had just turned into a werewolf? What
is she gonna do? Brother and sister? The door and back on in,
and I guess it's time to take a go to sleep for the night.
I'll keep watch beat. I was gonna say, how do you sleep
when that's happening right outside our door? Adri was by the window holding the
pendant, And you caught the tail end of the transformation, no pun intended,
And the werewolf drops the all fours and just cares ass to the west
like put a horse to shame, speed like the pet shot boys go west,
going west. We're letting all a cook, right, that's come to
that. Okay, I'm not standing in the way of that. That.
I mean, what else do you do? Go off, go to were
wolf things, go to hot werewolf ship, hot girl, hot girl,
summer tonight in the valley, hot girl, full moon. I am not
paid to stop were wolves. We're not We're not paid at all. Yeah,
so why would I do it? There is a passing thought in my
heart. Do I know a single thing about a were wolf and how to
hit the controls? The undo on being a were wolf? But I don't.
But I'm going to have that passing trolls zeon being a were wolf is
fun though, so that would be only a sorcery check difficulty five. Yeah.
Uh so let's see you got it like like Scoob. That's light work.
Also, the uh momento pool is empty right now because it's been two
days of downtime. Oh oh yeah, I got you. That's understandable.
I have fortune points. I am not confident it will make up the difference,
and I'm not sure of the wisdom and investing in it. To be
honest with you, just what happens? You never know if Nope, Yes,
soundly outside my non existent pay grade. No knowing anything about where wolves
and were wolf ism and like anthropic condition. Damn, I like her.
This means we can't go drinking. It's gonna be weird if we go,
at least sometimes. Okimer was out with her till midnight last night. That's
true. So I am by the window still. I imagine I take a
good full look at what kind of a moon is up there right now.
It's pretty fullish, fullish nice. When the moon is foolish, you would
estimate the actual full moon is probably tomorrow, and then it will likely be
fullish again the night after. Oh so we got a few nights of this,
Okay, okay in theory, I am a thinking out loud about this
for the benefit of my peers to hear, because it's not the fullest of
moons yet. But when it is, I mean, did anyone else I
didn't see that coming. I had a sinking feeling. But no, I
mean, as far as I'm concerned, this change is nothing. We still
need the house. Let's just see if she attacks people in the house.
If she does, we're fucked find ourselves she doesn't, just staying out of
her way, Yeah, then we're at least safe for the time being.
Ricardo has met weirder friends in this valley. What you mean, like us?
Oh that makes more sense and true? Not even do all right,
I guess I'll keep watching the first watch. Yeah, wake me up.
You want to wear this herb talisman? Since she clearly doesn't need it right
now, she has made one for each of you. Guys. You generally
don't wear them around the house, but you do each have one. Good
to know. I'm gonna put mine on right now. Yeah, yeah,
same. It seems like a best practice. Well, I think of gonna
mean it, but while I'm keeping watch. All right, So October takes
the first watch. I imagine none of you guys are probably getting to sleep
that easily. I'm gonna try and probably fail. Same. However, about
probably close to an hour into Octimer's watch, there is a very distant howl
that rolls out over the moors. After that, there are no more sounds.
I feel bad for those fishermen tonight. Oh fuck them, they kill
you. Yeah, October passes his watch. I believe it would be me.
Yeah, Really nothing happens after that howl. It is absurdly quiet out
Do I even hear nature sound like crickets or shit like that? Or is
it even quiet for that? You can hear the occasional cricket, but it's
in your mind. You get the goofy mental image that the other crickets are
like, shut the fuck up, what are you doing? And then it
goes quiet again. Noted. So Octimer finishes the watch and he's gonna try
and go to bed, and Ricardo's takes the second watch. Things are again
pretty chill. Slowly, slowly nature sounds come back, until eventually, probably
about a half hour before the sun comes up like that point where it's starting
to get lighter, but it's you know, it's the sun's not over the
horizon yet. You hear heavy footfalls and dragging sounds approaching the house, so
you perk up keeping watch. Now that the light levels come up a bit,
even in the fog, you can see a bit farther and shambling out
of the dark, the massive figure of the werewolf. It has its right
arm up like it's holding a barrel on its shoulder, and there's just a
stack of three dead fishmen. As you do, one hand big enough to
fit around two different ankles of fishmen, and it is dragging them. It
stops at an extremely precise distance away from the house, like literally the point
that Nalla would take you to and say, it doesn't come closer than this,
okay, drops the bodies and it just it's staring at you through the
window. You hear like a low growl, and it starts pacing back and
forth, pacing around as if there's an invisible dome that stops it from getting
closer. So the arabs do work appreciate Homegirl from a distance. Eventually it
lays down much the same way a dog would still hands on its massive bloody
front claws, still staring at you. It has not broken your eye contact
for fifteen minutes. Now rude. Finally it starts to twitch and writhe and
hurt dog noises like sharp wines, and slowly it shrivels down. The fur
falls to the ground and kind of disintegrates, and it shrinks back down into
Nala. She gets up, naked as the day she was born, still
that dreamy look on her face. She is covered in what looked like weak
old scars. Boy, that are just before your eyes, getting like paler
and smaller, and she just sleepily wanders up to the front door. Open
it. Okay, yeah, she opens it. She closes it behind her,
and she just walks into her bedroom and shuts the door. Uneventful night.
Yeah, yeah, sure kid. Ricardo didn't do anything, didn't have
to get up even well. Our girl went up for fish sticks. Ricardo
had a lot of work done for him tonight. This is sometimes dinner comes
to you. I don't know if he's eating fish people, I don't know.
Is that cannibalism. Is that closed to cannibalism? I don't know if
it is, but it's closed as a cannibalism. It's right on that icky.
Sometimes you know, you gotta run from the big bat of the area.
Sometimes you just bunk up with the big bat of the area. That's
good. He got lucky. We're bunking up with them. Scrooge mcdunk told
me we're smarter, not harder. Absolutely, yeah, man, always listen
your uncle Scrooge. All right. So, surprisingly early in the day,
Nala comes back out, fully clothed, wearing her armor. She looks like
she didn't sleep well last night. I'm not bringing up she's not. It's
probably like six point thirty. She was in there for maybe an hour.
Ricardo is probably just still sitting in the same chair next to the window.
Who's gonna tell little sister she a werewolf? I'm not not not. That's
this relationship that we got going on right now. It's a stable stall,
his nice relationship. When we're not rocking that boat. We got a nice
thing going. We have a really good fucking thing going right now. Special
