So long as the enchantment lasts, one spiteful goblin kept stabbing and slashing at the wolfman. At least for a good few more swings. Beedo joins in too for a second before something about 'you are treated' part from Ebonitus clicks in mind. "Wait, wat? Trea'ed fer wat? More 'por'antly, I gets 'ow ya 'ad some sor'a beef wi' 'ose Mingers 'ere, but... 'ow in 'e nine did'ja wind up ge'n c'ase by'em?!

'nd fen -- 'nd FEN not 'cept'n 'e consequences, ya Dusty ****!"He berates, shaking a fist up at Ebonitus while the other hand rested on his own hip.
"That is enough, Acolyte Beedo. We do not yet know the full circumstances of this one's perdictament." D.O.R.K chimes in if another doesn't beat her to it, then turns upon Ebonitus. Beedo walks off to Golemgote, grumbling the whole way over. "As for your inquiry, I should be fine. If this is some sort of disease or similiar affliction, it should not affect me by much. Though any treatment you would prescribe, as you appear to be somewhat more familiar with these creatures -- these 'werewolves' -- more than I. Vark, however-..."She pauses mid-sentence, having turned just in time to see an open mouthed Vark looking ready to bite into a severed arm. When her eyes flickers back red for a moment, he immediately drops it and looks away while whistling an awkward tune.
"As I was saying. If you would not mind."She said calmly, and after turning back to Ebonitus, Vark wipes the sweat from his brows.

Lukian steps to within 10 feet of Ebonitus. Once he has the dark-skinned cleric's eye, with his right hand, he delicately touches his right ear, the corner of his right eye, and then rests the same hand over his heart. "Greetings, cleric of Chauntea. I am Lukian Silverspear, cleric of Lathander." He motions with a sweep of the hand at the others. "My traveling companions and I camped here for the night. You are welcome to rest with us."

Ebonitus says to D.O.R.K. "I am not aware of the effect that a werewolf would have on a being such as yourself, pardon my frankness, the affliction is sometimes referred to as a disease, and sometimes as a curse. Perhaps we need to check which and consider the effect it may have on you."
Then to Vark, "I am sorry if my actions have upset you, please allow me to tend to your wounds. I did not mean to arouse a pack of werewolves. I am capable of handling one or two, however when the third appeared, I knew I would need assistance, so I came the way that I thought was most likely to find some aid." Then assuming Vark will allow him to tend to his wounds, Ebonitus casts Cure wounds (2nd level slot) on Vark for 17 of healing.
To Devin he says "On the night of the full moon I cannot sleep as I was once so afflicted before being taken in by a temple of Chauntea and cured. To appease this restlessness I must return a werewolf to the earth."
To Lukian, and more expansively to the group, Ebonitus says "Please forgive me for disturbing your slumbers, and thank you for offering your company for the night. I will gladly rest here with you and see what the morning brings. First I must see to these bodies and see if they carry anything that I might return to their loved ones to let them know of their fate."
Ebonitus will then search the bodies for anything that might indicate that these were once humanoid (rather than pureblood werewolf).

Lukian follows Ebonitus and stays within 10 feet of him, watching him look over the bodies of the werewolves. "This is my first encounter with creatures such as these. I have read a little about them, but have been curious if what I have read is true. You can confirm, then, that werewolves can make more werewolves by the transference of the affliction or disease, as you refer to it." He places a hand to his chin. "This is quite interesting. And you say you were once a werewolf, but was cured. How does the temple of Chauntea perform such a miracle?"
"... On second thought. No. It is unnecessary. Note: Offer is appreciated by this operative, Ebonitus de Viribus, Servant of Chauntae."She curtly replied, then turned to look to Beedo. So far, the goblin had taken to sitting upon her rock, and continue his earlier triade. Part of which is easily carried over the wind, but D.O.R.K refrains from reprimanding him further.
When spoken to, Vark looks back and forth between where Beedo had left and Ebonitus, only to give Ebonitus a non-commital shrug in reply about being upset. Even the small motion elicits a wince, as adrenaline and the inherit piss and vinegar within most goblins no longer blinded him of it. Though ready to brush it aside, seeing Ebonitus make the long familiar motions of a Cure Wounds spell, he hesitantly offers the more injured section of his body for Ebon. Throughout it all he says nothing, and after the treatment, he looks up to D.O.R.K; who only in turn gives the goblin the nod to start dragging bodies off to the opposite side of the road. When Ebon eventually gets around to looking over the bodies, Vark helps, but would eventually ready them to be burned in a pyre.
After stepping out a ways to make sure no other werewolves might be lying in wait in the distance, D.O.R.K assists in body elimination duties.

Ebonitus says to Lukian "Yes, once bitten by a werewolf, it is possible that you will become one. The condition can be removed by the use of a Remove Curse, but this will only work on those afflicted by the condition, not those born unto it."

As the last werewolf is dropped, Torunn quickly but carefully cleans his musket before putting it away. He then heads over to inspect his marksmanship, making some mental notes before heading over to the newcomer.
"Good evening, my name is Torunn, a am a cleric of Gond."
Lukian looks at the moon for a bit, then comments, "There must not be werewolves everywhere. We certainly didn't have them in the Ardeep Forest or anywhere near Secomber."
Ebonitus replies to Lukian, "Natural born werewolves tend to live in packs, similar to wolves and not too close to most cities. 'Turned' Werewolves are probably more common than you think. Away from the full moon, they can look and act much as an everyday person, just showing their true selves at the full moon. Once discovered, they tend to be hounded out of town so mostly live in more remote, less populated areas."
Ebonitus continues, "I'm tired now, I think it would be best to get some rest before morning, but we will need to keep the watches up - just in case there are more around." He then looks around for a suitable place to sleep. Somewhere near J10 seems about right,
Near the larger group, but not too close to Beedo, who still seems a little irate.
"Do you mind if I kip down here?" pausing for some affirmation, "Let me know when you want me to do a watch." Assuming he gets some sort of affirmative indication, Ebonitus sets up and lays his head down to sleep.
"Inquiry: Can we expect to come across more of these 'werewolves' further along the road? Or even during the rest of this night?"D.O.R.K request after having finished dragging the final body to join the others. "Additional Inquiry: Have you, or members of your order noted a particular increase in Giant or Giant-kin activity in your main area of work?"As she says all that, Vark started to coat the corpses in the last of his oil.

Two (Red and Yellow) of the Wolfmen are humans dressed in normal clothes; albeit a bit tattered. The third Wolfman (purple) who was a bit smaller than the others has an elven cast to her features and is dressed in the remnants of riding leathers. Around her neck is a tarnished medallion embossed with a singing hawk.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ebonitus will also investigate the singing hawk, though he has no particular skill, it could be from around somewhere he has lived. (OOC: not sure which skill(s) to roll under, will do Investigation (+4), History (+2) and Religion (+2) in a spoiler, you choose)

Meanwhile to D.O.R.K., Ebonitus replies "There may be more while the moon is full, after this night we should be fine until the next full moon. There may be more where these came from, so we had best be vigilant for the rest of the night."

There is no way of telling the difference between pureblood werewolf and a turned humanoid.
