Chapter 16 Into the Wolves Den 12/01/24

Solas used his Radiance of the Dawn divine ability to hurt the 3 thugs after the largest of them grabbed him. Lucky roused Colmir and Shadow. Colmir wildshaped into a Polar Bear and attempted, but failed, to jump through the window. Shadow got the attention of one of the thugs by firing an Eldritch blast at him. The thug suddenly transformed into a werewolf and leaped onto a nearby roof before trying to jump up to the window. Lucky dropped out of the window, hurting himself in the process but failed to make contact with the werewolf. Solas was flung back into the bar and onto his back as Vigo ran away from the fight and the other thugs also took on wolf form.
 
 
The battle ensued with Shadow thunderstepping from the ground and taking a prone Colmir, who was back in Dwarven form, out of the vicinity but leaving an injured Lucky fighting 2 werewolves. He struck one of them a mighty blow as the largest werewolf started shouting to peace, back in human form due to a Druid Moonbeam. Colmir now became a giant constrictor snake and tried to bite and entangle one of the werewolves as Eldritch Blasts flew and Lucky cast Dissonant Whispers to bring one of the Wolves to the ground.
 
 
Solas spoke with the leader of the werewolves, a huge, bare chested ginger man. And they agreed to stop fighting. Lucky was happy because he had killed a werewolf and named one of his shortsword Wolfslayer, after the victory.
 
 
The ginger man introduced himself as Ironfang and said that his master wanted to talk to the Guardians. Lucky cast a Suggestion demanding that Ironfang say that they surrender and take the Guardians to their leader. He promptly complies with this, not because he was influenced by the suggestion, but because he'd already said that was his plan.
 
 
The party were lead to Bowshot Run where they came to a camp of werewolves and were introduced to Silverclaw , the leader of the Tyrluk werewolves. He offered the party food in the form of huge haunches of bear meat and explained that they had something that he needed and that he was willing to trade for it.
 
 
He told them that he needed Boesboren’s Pin so that he could use it against Fury. He needed the pin to match with the ‘point’ to make a weapon against the Harbinger. The party discussed the matter and asked to sleep on it as they didn't know what the pin was. Lucky has a Peace's Pin, but is loath to be parted from it. He put up a second Tiny Hut of the night and the party caught up on their broken sleep.
 
 
Next morning, the party rose and were stopped by Ironfang on the way to going to see Silverclaw. The lieutenant explained that there were 2 factions in the werewolf camp and that he lead one of them. He offered to give them the Peace's Pin back if the Guardians sided with him and helped overthrow Silverclaw. The current leader it appears wants to use the magical item to return to the Feywild with the clan and live out his life there. Ironfang prefers to remain in Tyrluk and is willing to challenge Silverclaw to do that. The party agrees and goes it see the leader of the werewolves.
 
 
Lucky is chosen to negotiate with Silverclaw, who agrees to give them a map of how to find Fury, another map of how to find Melkerech's Flying Fortress and Silverclaw's namesake silver claw, which he uses to chastise his followers. There is some discussion about the peace's pin and the point of the pin which somewhat infuriates Colmir to the point of become appoplexic and cursing out most of the group.
 
 
With the deal made, along with the counter deal from Ironfang, the party prepares to meet and destroy the Harbinger of Fury.
