Twilight creeps slowly into the village with a strange ground mist that clings to the feet of Dragonslayer as he finishes dishing out tasty morsels of his dragon's favourite dish - "knights of the realm in barbeque sauce." There is a commotion from the magic store nearby; is it the klutzy robot store manager Meustrus attempting to mix potions again? Perhaps the commotion is something more sinister....the tormented robotic sounds of a harmless collection of nuts and bolts....changing into a vicious remorseless terrifying metal beast? As he finishes up, talking softly to his beloved dragons, he sees the Fairy Baker Dragonfly closing up her shop for the night. She glances this way and that: is she afraid? Perhaps those quick surreptitious glances are not to check for possible werewolves as the night draws in....but to check for witnesses in case she herself is about to change.
A distant howl quickens his pace, and he bumps into Esperare the village doctor as she rounds the corner into the square...hurrying home too no doubt, to barricade herself in, the alternative is too awful to contemplate. There is still a light on at the Fairy dressmakers store. No doubt Alind will be working on a dress long into the night, sometimes she loses track of time with her creations. Quickly, Dragonslayer runs across the square and pounds on the door of the dressmaker, drawing her attention to the descending darkness. She gathers what materials and tools she needs and quickly closes down the store, promising to hurry home. In their haste to reach home before the gathering gloom becomes deepest darkest night they trip over the village idiot, a six legged bumble thunder beast called Fluffy.
"Go home you foolish beast" they admonish her, "don't you know it isn't safe to be out after dark? " They hurry on, but can't help wondering if it is stupidity that is responsible for her late lingerings.....not much is known about this species....for all they know it could be a natural night predator with wolfish tendencies.
Across the square, Bubblegumfrog, the Pheonix Bank Manager, watches as Dragonslayer sees Alind to the door of her cottage, then fumbling with the lock, quickly disappears into his own house. He watches as the Jedi Knight Dragonslayer begins to use "the force" to move furniture across the windows and doors, effectively barricading himself in. To protect himself from werewolves? Or to protect the village from himself? The calculating bank manager Bubblegumfrog watched and wondered. Deep down he had never trusted this jedi- knight dragon trainer, though most suspected that was because he had once held romantic hopes with Dragonfly the beautiful Fairy baker, now the object of Dragonslayer's affections.
On the other side of the square Oddjunior and Ragnar56 the wizard blacksmith were still supping pints in the pub, oblivious to the barmaid's pointed looks at the clock and her watch and her repeated attempts to get them to leave. However, Hitashisukkymotor the Innkeeper comes down the stairs and begins to screech abuse at the drunkards, before picking up a broom and proceeding to whack ragnar56 and Oddjunior over the head quite viciously until they get the hint and stagger out into the street.
"Call yourself a wizard?" she yells, "Well riddle me this, if you're so darn powerful, how come there's still werewolves running amok around here?" Sharing a bottle of whisky between them, and holding each other up, they stagger about, singing, and bemoaning the fact the fish and chip shop is closed early nowadays, before presumably heading home to drink still more.... Or perhaps that's what they're hoping folk will believe, a cunning ploy to establish an alibi when in truth they will be running around the woods all hairy and hungry and howling...
Bubblegumfrog catches the eye of Dragonfly, who is also peering out of the window at the goings on. It is dark now. A scuttling in the shadows alerts them to the village idiot scampering back down to the innkeepers cellar, just as Alind quickly dashes back to her shop, some tool or thread forgotten one must suppose. Unwilling to risk waiting any longer Bubblegumfrog starts to board up his windows and finish barricading himself in. He is unaware that Dragonfly is wondering at this very moment if he truly is just an innocent sleepwalker, or whether one of his late night wanderings has resulted in more than a few leaves and twigs in his hair, a werewolf bite perhaps?
The first blood curdling ferocious growl sounds in the night.....close, very close, and is answered by several howls in unison in the surrounding woods, leaving the villagers in no doubt that there can be no escape. Quickly they finish assembling their defenses, load their weapons, and try not to hear the ripping, the tearing, the screams of terror and the inevitable silence which always follows, sometime just before dawn. Then and only then will the villagers venture outside to find the body of Geraldine the bar-maid.
