«Scene: Hall of Memories»
<<You>>: That door says "Constantin Petyrovich".
Cenara: My father has called the Werewolf King Constantin...
<<You>>: Then that's one of the doors we're after!
Cenara: It would seem so.
Enter the First Door
Stay Here
<<You>>: Well, what do you say? Shall we visit the past?
Cenara: It's a date, <<You>>. Let's go!
«Scene: Darkness»
Cara: So we have a plan then for the surprise party, Constantin?
Constantine: Of course, Cara. Erimus is my closest friend. I would be happy to pay for the party.
Cara: What about you, Prince Drageth? Can we use the estate?
Drageth: The Slugwrath home is at your disposal, Lady Cara. If you and Constantin will excuse me, I have business to attend to.
Cara: Of course.
Constantine: Cara, I--
Cara: Yes, Constantin?
Constantine: Are you sure you want to marry Erimus? I still... I still have feelings for you.
Cara: Constantin! Whatever we may once have had, I love Erimus!
Constantine: But-- I-- Yes. I am sorry, Cara.
«Scene: Forest clearing»
Erimus: Constantin, Cara, here you are. What are you two up to, then?
Cara: This is him, then. My grandfather. It doesn't make any sense... how could he have lived this long ago?
Constantine: Careful, Cenara. We are Constantin and Cara, remember. He is watching.
Cara: Oh! Right, <<You>>--
Cara: --It is nothing gra...er Erimus. We were just chatting about Slugwrath.
Erimus: Your whispering might be enough to make me self-conscious.
Cara: Never be self-conscious. I have much to ask you. Come, let's take our leave from Constantin.
Cara: Keep your eyes peeled...
Constantine: See you later my friends.
Constantine: I will...
«Scene: Estate»
Constantine: That Drageth character... This looks interesting. I think I will observe in secret.
Drageth: An interesting tale, Vandarian. You say that you are infected with a condition that makes you become a ravenous wolf man?
Soldier: It infects my whole family and much of our region of Vandar. Because of it, many of us are being put to death.

Difficulty: 0
Stat used: Dexterity
Drageth: You have a unique gift. Why should you wish to "cure" yourself?

Dexterity Check!
Can you remain hidden from Drageth's estate guards?
Difficulty: 5
Stat used: Dexterity
Drageth: I see quite clearly. Can it be modified?
Soldier: I do not understand. Can what be modified?
Mysterious Guest: We can work with it. The original condition was not so infectious.
Drageth: These mysterious Drakel. You are certain this is a result of their experiments gone bad?
Dexterity Check!
Can you remain hidden from Drageth's estate guards?
Difficulty: 10
Stat used: Dexterity
Mysterious Guest: It has all the hallmarks. The Vandarian Drakel worked to create armies to defend against their enemies.
Mysterious Guest: They captured some of the original wolfweres, natural wolves who assume the form of men, all but extinct now. They were tied strongly to lunar cycles.
Drageth: And with it they produced an agent that turned man into wolf?
Mysterious Guest: The next type, yes. It remained an infectious condition. The first generation experiments were quite feral and distressing.
Soldier's Wife: What's this? What are you doing?!
Dexterity Check!

Difficulty: 15
Stat used: Dexterity
Mysterious Guest: That is where your people come in.
Soldier: I do not understand.

Soldier's Wife: You call this beautiful?

Mysterious Guest: Now your family shall be the genesis of a new species.
Soldier: What?!?
Drageth: A wolfwere capable of being controlled. With it I can oust my cousins, and the Slugwrath branch shall go from being mere princes to being kings!
Soldier: No, let us go. You promised to help!
Drageth: To end your condition. And we shall - but not before you help us breed a new race of inverted wolfweres.
Mysterious Guest: One might even say of... erefolws ... no, that sounds horrible! How about werewolves ... yes, that works well. Hehe...
Drageth: .........................

Constantine: So you see, Cenara. That Drageth fellow is bad news. He has something terrible planned. We need to stop it.
Cara: Even if we could, it would not change what already happened, <<You>>.
Constantine: Right. So what now?
Cara: Keep watching. We need to learn more.
Constantine: This is getting interesting... Hey! Someone's coming. It's that guy in the robes.
Mysterious Guest: I saw you spying... Constantin Petyrovich. Observing our plans.
Constantine: You! What do you plan to do?
Mysterious Guest: We need a vector. You will work as well as any........

<<You>>: The door won't reopen. It seems locked. Whatever that shadowy guy did, it kicked us out.
Cenara: But we only know a little bit! I have more questions than answers!
<<You>>: Maybe we should find another door.
Cenara: Yes.... yes, I suppose we should....
