do you have a plan with this warewolf encounter, or have you just thrown this into the wind to see what happens?
When you run games, frequently your players surprise you.
I haven't determined in advance how it's going to play out, if that's what you mean, and I don't intend to. Will he end up committing murder? Will he infect others? Will he save the day? Will he fight the other PCs? Will they capture him or kill him? Nothing is set.
But the events in the city will continue to develop much as they would have if Adran hadn't contracted lycanthropy, or if he'd taken any of the opportunities presented in previous chapters to seek help and get the curse removed. The city is still under attack and on fire; one of their own being a werewolf just adds an additional wrinkle to the existing encounters that the party may face. Yes, Adran-the-werewolf is chaotic evil and not as smart as Adran-the-elf, but that doesn't mean that he will mindlessly attack the helpless or other party members. Though these feelings do not constrain him in any way, he can still feel affection and loyalty to those who have helped him in the past, and they can guide him. His oath to the Orb - which was already focused on revenge rather than protection - really dovetails nicely with his CE impulses. It is directing him to fight those that he perceives as other evildoers (
after they have demonstrated that fact by harming innocents). I suspect he would defend himself - evil always tends to view itself as innocent! - but he won't attack indiscriminately. Does that help?
