The day dawned bright and lovely. Grass grew on the barrows and the birds sang. Unfortunately for the players, they were now trapped inside one of those nasty barrows.

"Why are we all dressed like this?" Asked Lommy
"Oh, it must be the curse of the Barrow Wights" Said Farael
"What are you doing here? you are supposed to be dead!" replied the penguin lady.

"Well, that's a nice thing to say... hey Roa... Roa?" Then they noticed that there was someone missing indeed.

They searched the barrow up and down, and all they found was a note. Nogrod picked it up and read "You thought a normal D&D game was too easy for you. Now you shall face the horrors of... werewolves in the barrow downs"

"NouuuuuuuUUUUUU" screamed he. "My half-brethen are here. I must confess to you all, I was sired by a werewolf myself. Fear not, I do not turn murderous every night, but shaving in the mornings is always a pain. However, it seems that some of us have turned into real wolves"

"Fear not! I know the way out of this place" said Farael "Then we can each go our own way and we'll be safe. Or at least, safer than being trapped in a small space with three werewolves"

"How do you know there are three of them?" Replied Rikae.

"eh... uh...."

"That IS fairly odd of you to say" added Gwathagor "Get him!!"

"Wait, wait! I can explain!" And he did. He talked for an hour, then answered fifteen minutes of questions, and at the end of his talk everyone was reassured that Farael was not a Werewolf. Then, due to a structural mishap with the ceiling of the barrow, there was a small cave-in... RIGHT where Farael was standing. Everyone was shocked, and then a voice said

"Deus ex machina, we meet again. Now you should all probably get to work and find yourself someone who IS a werewolf" And no more was heard of Farael.
