Re: Werewolf: Escape into the Night
Valen races to get in range and channels energy, the healing power of Erastil washes over the group and heals those wounded such as Lem but its not enough to bring the dead back. The man passes into the darkness and walks the enternal forests with his grandfather now. The end has come for him.
Colban look up, "Baron! We got him, but Jared has paid the ultimate price."

"He'll be honored for his sacrifice," Cal says solemnly. "Did he have a family?"

Re: Werewolf: Escape into the Night
Valen falls to his knee's and folds the young mans hands over his chest and uses his thumb to trace an invisible holy symbol of The Elk father on his forehead and over his heart. Whispering a solemn prayer quietly so as to not disturb the others . When finished the young priest of Erastil stands wiping tears from his eyes. He focuses intently on Colban's response to the Baron.

Colban nods, "A wife, she is with child, their first." He shakes his head and turns to the body of the naked man, who you presume is the werewolf returned to human form. Colban yanks his blade from the man's chest and flicks the blood off before sheathing his weapon. "If I was just a fraction faster...."

"The barony will see that his wife and child are taken care of," Cal declares. It was nothing compared to the loss of a husband and child. But it was the best that he could do. "And he'll be awarded the Golden Star of Caladonia, posthumously."

Final Resolution
You have won, it a sad victory with the dead guardsman there. However back in the marketplace you saved a man, and he is grateful for his life, and the werewolf is dead. The naked corpse is that of a Kellid barbarian, and you ID him as the man in question easily enough come morning.
The dead man's family is told of her bravery, and a small ceremony to award him the Golden Star of Caladonia is planed. It seems the situation has run its course and after a time things at home should return to normal.

Re: Final Resolution
Valen sees that the man is buried and follows up on the Barons gracious offer of a stipend for the family. Once this is settled he returns to his mentor Jhod to visit with him some more. The cleric is interested in taking a trip to the Elk Fathers holy place once more.

Re: Final Resolution
"Perhaps you could travel with Jhod," Cal suggests. "I imagine now that he's done with being magister, he'll be heading out there as soon as he can." Cal shakes his head. "On days like this, I wish I were heading there with you two."

"I think that is just what I need Baron. A few days at the Elk Fathers blessed place to right my course and unburden my soul. You are always welcome to come with us. It may do you some good."
