Jotna shouts back at the voice in her head, "well who the hells are ya? Malista didn’t offer us anything I want, so I’m open to considering your offer. How ‘bout we have a chat?"

@Drgwen do you say that out loud or are you trying to talk with this wolf in private?
Jul 23, 2025 12:27 pm
Elma had edged to the stairs and even with her lamp, there is nothing but pitch black below. Then she grimaces and covers her ears as she hears the strange voice from the butler turned wolf. What did this all mean?
She scoots back to the group, ready to return to the gruesome game room.
"I-is this your true form or are you r-really a butler?"

"A butler? Ha! Perhaps in a past life." The wolf says so all can hear. "No, my dear. I'm far more than that. I am darkness in physical form. I am the original owner of this house. And you are Malista's minions, sent to try and thwart me." He lets out a sound in-between a laugh and a barking fit.
"But since I am merciful. I will accept your surrender and complete submission. Just put down your weapons. Last chance."
Jotna
The voice continues talking to you, though the others can't hear and you don't see its mouth moving this time.
"You seem to have more intelligence than the rest of your crew. Perhaps I can put you to good use. Let's say I'll give you a 'management' position if you convince these other meat bags to surrender."

Jotna crosses her arms in thought, considering the offer. Then she says, "Work for a wolf? Nah, a Life and Death Lizard would never. Time to die, doggie!"
And with those words, Jotna drops her items and transforms into a lizard once again! She charges forward at the wolf creature and attempts to bite it.

"W-we're nobody's minions and not willing to be your minion either."
Elma is surprised at Jotna's sudden hostility, but quickly takes out her sling and throws a shot at the wolf, retreating back to the door they came through, trying to daze it so they can potentially escape. Unless this is what they were sent to fight...?

Jotna rushes forward to bite the wolf. She clenches her teeth around one of its paws to crush it, but something's off. It feels more like chewing on metal than on flesh. Even her teeth hurt a bit after recoiling from the attack.
Attacks against this foe are DR16 because of this essence. Perhaps there's a way to stop it?Borda
Your sling bullet doesn't hit its mark and instead crashes against the wall beyond the creature.
Elma
Your attack however hits true. Although it seems like the bullet is somehow slowed before it hits. It felt like you were going to really hurt the thing, but instead if only nicked the creature just enough to draw blood. A trickle of dark red blood goes down from where you've wounded the wolf. It growls in anger.
"Fine. Then you've made your choice." It says and leaps for a target.

With incredible swiftness, the dark wolf pounces towards Elma and tries to get her arm in its jaws to rip at her flesh.
At the same time, the snake-like tail whips around and darts in the direction of Jotna as the wolf runs by her to get to Elma.
Anyone who is hit by the tail attack for at least 1 damage gets paralyzed. Meaning you are not able to move for 1 round unless you pass a DR14 strength test.
Then the PC's are up again.
By the way, this is the final boss of the scenario. If you were saving any interesting items or scrolls, this may be a good moment to use them :)

Lizard-Jotna recoils after the bite, angry that it was ineffective. The creature's tap whips around and she tries to dodge.

The shouting and movement of retreating catches the wolf's eye and its powerful jaws go right for Elma!
Its dagger-like teeth crunch into Elma's leather armor and trusty shield.
She can feel her defenses being ripped away so she takes out the dagger she scavenged from poor old Keftar and stabs as hard as she can at the wolf.

Jotna, you notice your muscles tense up after the barbed tail hits you. It really didn't hurt you that bad, but there's something else going on. It seems to take you great effort to move even an inch.Borda, this time your bullet hits as well. And what a shot it is! You hit the wolf's hind leg and hear a crack. it lets out a yelp. It appears to have done more damage than Elma's previous hit.Elma, You block the incoming bite with your shield and it shatters into sawdust as the jaws clench around it. The wolf knocks you down and has its two front legs on your chest, but you are still alive and able to attack. You try to stab it with your dagger, but for some reason it refuses to pierce through the wolf's fur.
Merkari, You go into a flail frenzy, but lack the precision to do any real damage. Even though you appear to hit the wolf, it seems to be unfazed.The creature, now firmly standing on top of Elma, spits out the wooden splinters from the shield and goes in for the kill, aiming for Elma's neck.
The tail coils back into a striking position, like a cobra getting ready to attack.
What does everyone do?

You can roll the DR14 strength test before you next turn to see if you can break free.OOC:

Elma feels the air knocked out of her lungs as the wolf tackles her and leans on her chest. The shield saved her from a fatal blow it seems, but the enemy just spits out its splinters and tries to bite Elma's neck!For a moment, Elma thinks she sees an energy enveloping the wolf, but is no longer able to concentrate as its powerful jaws connect with her neck and it bites down. The necklace of teeth seems to interfere with it biting her in half, but she is bleeding profusely now. Her vision turns red as adrenaline rushes up and she stabs at its eye, pushing herself up and away from the wolf.
