Van puts a hand at Lucius shoulder. His face is serious, but his voice calm.

"Lucius, you are a friend. This task has gotten us already too much time, guess can wait a little bit. You need that spell now! So I think we should concentrate on that."

William looks at Luscius, not able to meet his eyes. Slowly as the weight of the man's statement becomes clearer in the sailor's mind, William's head draws down.
He listens to Van's comforting words and can't help but feel the tinge of regret that the wizard is absolutely right. They had tried so hard to get on task as a group and complete their mission, it now came to a time that they would have to abandon the quest to save the life of a friend. Maybe abandon their quest for good.

Cornelius puts in-

''You all have forgotten something, I think. The items...the items are useful for supressing, perhaps curing lycanthropy. That's what the Ezran priests told us. We find the missing items, and then we use them to help Lucius. ''

Van quirks an eyebrow and then a big smile appears at his face.

"Of course!!! You are right Cornelius! Instead of give up our quest and try to find an old spell it's better concentrate on our mission! So we will do both, accomplish our task and if necessary help Lucius! What a great idea you had!"

Deari steps up from the fire and after listening to the others, steps up next to Lucius as well...

"Yes he is... I am certainly glad for the keen memory of Master Cornelius, and I hope that perhaps we will not need to use the items however..."

She looks calm and happy and her gaze is mostly attentive toward Lucius as she changes to a proud tone...

"Lucius is strong of will, and if the time does come when he is in need, I think we would all want to be there for him, and keep him from harm or others from such..."

Deari smiles gently and touches Lucius shoulder for a short time... Then her look drifts out to the group...

"Now then, while all of you rest I should take a needle and thread to those tears... I may not be an expert seemstress, but I can patch the holes durring my and Hoberts watch!"

Hobert brushes up against Lucius thigh and looks at him for a second, but then with a short charge, Hobert leaps up and begins trying to lick Cornelius on the face unmercifully...

Williams attention perks up at the encouraging and hopeful words. Perhaps they could do both?

Of course, this plan could lead to disaster as well. For instance, if Luscius were to "turn" at a pivotal and key moment to completing their mission. But such thought was merely good for going around in circles and driving one mad. The important thing was that there was hope.

"Friends, I thank you earnestly. Your support was deeper than I dared hope for. Thank you again."

Cornelius finds a seat on a treestump, takes out his pet lizard and begins feeding it grubs from a little ceramic jar, while speaking at length-

''Let's review what we know about these items. The first one is an enchanted talisman , a wolf's paw. It repels lycanthropes. They cannot take on wolf shape in the near presnce of the bearer of the paw. I don't know if this is totally effective, but the Ezran's seem to put their faith in it.

The other item is a silver amulet. It doesn't cure the condition, but it does allow a man cursed with the dread disease to retain his human form. I'm not certain it would work indefinitely, but it would allow an afflicted man to have some degree of control over his condition.

With these two items, I believe we can deal with Lucius , assuming he was infected. Of course, it may be he escaped the contagion, or perhaps these singing wolf-men simply aren't contagious in the way the more common sort of werewolves are.''

William listen to Cornelius's words, he leans back a bit, resting propping himself up by placing his hands on his knees. "Let us hope so. If that is the case we can recover the items and bring them to their rightful place."

"The problem is that we have to return the items when we get back to Darkon. I mean Lucius cannot keep the silver amulet for ever, but of course finding them buy us sometime so we can search for the spell that actually suppress or cure lycanthropy...But our main issue is how to get these items. We saw that there are behind a big Wolfwere's throne, doubt it will give them to us easily...We need to fight to get them. So when we will be sure these wolvies have stopped following us I think we should get to Pietro's house retrieve the items Tarlyn had hid there and then figure out what to do."

''Well.....we do not know that Lucius has been infected. That's only a possibility. If it does turn out he's been so cursed...I say we return the items to the Ezrans after we find a cure for him. If they have to wait a little longer, so be it.''

"Exactly what I was sayin'. If we have any luck, we may not even have to worry about Luscius being infected. But either way, we need those items. And if Luscius is unfortunate enough to be carryin' the disease...we have all the more rason to be retrievin' them."

''Well, if we are all agreed, let's get to Pietro's home as soon as we can, yes?''

Jacob exits his room and approaches you all. "I am presuming that Lucius has spoken to you and that you have perhaps decided on a plan of action. I am in agreement with whatever you do decide, of course. SO what shall we be doing?"

Van looks all of his companions as wanting confirm and then says:

"We are started as a group and we will go on as a group/ Lucius is our friend and we all agreed to help him. We will go to Pietro's house get Tarlyn's items and go to accomplish our task. If Lucius needs the items for him, we will find a cure for the lycanthropy and only then we will return the items to Darkon. If Lucius is ok, thing that I hope with all my heart, we will get the items back soon after we get them."
