Re: Lupus Veritas (main)
Olven Wolf is in one piece, though his clothes have been ripped. "Sir Owain!" he calls, hurrying forward. When he reaches the knight, Olven lowers his voice. "The beast attacked again last night," he says quietly, waiting for the street to clear before delivering the news. "It murdered the three men staying with me, along with two Seekers and a watchman. I don't know how I survived it."
A shudder passes through Olven's body. "It ripped into me," he continues quietly. "I didn't know my body could withstand that much trauma. I could have died in its massive jaws. The rest of the watch rescued me, but not before the thing escaped through a window. Fortunately, the king's influences meant that I was healed fully, but I very nearly came face to face with Death." Stopping a moment, he mutters, "Perhaps I did."
His face pale, Olven continues, "We should return to the dwarf, seek his answers on how to combat the thing." Olven looks around, and then says more softly still, "It overpowered me like I was a child. No one is safe in the city while that thing still lives."
