Two Fold Hummarabi

by Dubhan Mac Goban

We nurse our wounds back at the Rock, with poultice and beer, while we look to take in all these recent developments. Zynalda, now with lycanthropy, is completely derailed trying to figure out how not to succumb to the new found blood lust. While Akemi and Zynalda go over plans and information, I provide my own healing potions to Bjorn, who will sleep off his woes in a drunken state. The best we can find is a potion of silver and wolfsbane, but in the mean time we might be able to drug and restrain the beast while we figure it out. Finally we start getting down to business, Sibuna and I will use our resources to scope out the Doctor's townhouse, he never seems in a rush, so likely this is just a trap within a trap. Drugs did seem like a good idea, we might be able to knock out the Doctor or Eryn without putting ourselves in harms way, so Akemi offers to head to the hospital.
Hours go by with no word from Akime, and so we decide to go search, however it seems Zynalda thinks forcing her new form would be a great idea, in short, I will need to repair a few tables tomorrow. It seems Akime never made it to the hospital, Sibuna uses the CCTV network to find that she decided to "sneak" a peak at the doctor's townhouse, and was captured in fox form, so I guess we need to go directly to plan C - break through the front door.
Fuck it, just knock on the front door, and it creepily swings open, and we find ourselves sliding down into a deep dark pit, but happily Akemi is down there, although in a cage. The room bursts into light, and it seems we have an enormous friend to make, a Jotun. Of course a trap, the doctor and that sea witch both make an appearance as well, and it seems he wants to just watch us die. A fierce battle ensues, and Zynalda critically takes control of the Jotun's mind, giving us the advantage, and we are able to behead the Doctor! Sadly this is not before he touches Bjorn, steals his eyes and his soul, dropping his body. I am able to recover an amulet, a ritual dagger, and a pocket tome, all steeped in magic, before the Jotun breaks free momentarily, forcing me to leave the Doctor's body. While Akemi gains full control over the Jotun, the doctor turns into mist, reforms his body, and takes the zombie Bjorn into custody!
Fucking shit.
We pull the damn magic cage which can at least control the wolf, and head back to the Rock, where we hope Fenrir is able to track down Bjorn and the Doctor, but we need some sleep.
