Not all of you, only Otto. Also not werewolves or wolfweres, since those aren't really 'natural' wolves and are thus outside the purview of the Shepherd. Yes to the Dire Wolves though, wolves are wolves.

And if it makes you feel better, your next journey goes through Hazlan, Pharazia, Sebua, and Har'Akir.

So there won't be bards singing under Lia's window and trying to woo her?

..........

Whew. That's a relief. ^^ I can see I'm going to have some serious fun in Hazlan, though.
And as for not all of us being shackled to the wellbeing of the wolves -- we're one group, so the woes of one become the woes of all, surely? We'll all have to be careful of how we deal with the wily wild canine from here on in, for Otto's sake.
Should be doable ... I hope. ^^

Apparently so, if this last encounter is any example. :oops:

Ah, thank you, Nathan. I was wondering where Lia's feeling of abject shame had gone off to. There it is. -_-;

Well.... it's something of a moot point, but Stefan would only have attacked those people who weren't protected by Marilena's magics. So in theory, the rest of the group could've just left you two to be wisdom-drained into a coma.

Once the rest got involved, it became self-defense and negated the protection.

:shock:

Well, since I've read MMIV, I'm inclined to guess that agreeing to this would likely be a horrible, horrible idea.

...And look at me, twenty feet above a pack of wolves.

Bad DM! No Faustian bargains!

Yeah, I'd kinda gathered. ^^;

The Shepherd of the Wolves is NOT a Verdant Prince.

I swiped the look of the fey, but up until twenty-minutes before the post I was still thinking of using a Satyr.

Do NOT rely on any kind of random OOC knowledge, because it will steer your wrong more likely than not.

That goes for everyone.

Hey, you've got one up over old Faust already: Faust screwed himself over, you can still claim you were pressured into accepting a deal with a creepy wolf-loving fey. ^^

Hey! Wolves are people too! *nods wisely*

Just ask the Shepherd.

Hey now, isn't that where part of your fun in a Ravenloft campaign comes from? :wink:

...Well, I *hope* this gets Otto out of the soup, for the most part at least.

Thanks for the backup offers, guys; let's hope I don't need it too often. :)

Well, Otto, you'll know if you screwed up if the DM goes, "Oh, by the way, you've got fangs and the Smell feat, now."

Aces! That was kind of awesome. Now let's hope that the repercussions are of the "add to the emotional tenor of the story" variety and not the "well, it looks like you've been caught in an insoluble moral dilemma for the third time this week" variety.

Well, I certainly aim to try. But yes, Otto Schultheiss, Eco-Warrior has a nice ring to it.
