For the fight that's going to happen how should we do it? I might add a bit about Byrce's mother hearing the howl and sending out a small group of Scouts. I'd also like to ask what you had in mind for the weapons? I usually fine pictures to help and the second guys weapon is giving me a 'its laced with wolfdbane' vibe haha x3

Well, the Scientists and Mage (once in the picture) wouldn't be capable of taking down a bunch of werewolves AND drag Byrce and Thea off. If being overpowered, they'd focus just on Thea, and escaping. They're not that powerful. Technically, they'd be disposable in the eyes of the Sages that sent them. They're good enough to get the assignment, but not good enough to be irreplaceable. Keeping in mind they're still in the bounds of Altreiah, maybe the scouts get there too late, but find evidence they were there, including Zane? Other than that, the actual fight I figured would be improv, ending with our desired results of Byrce being brought down and dragged off for experiments by the Scientists because he has those extra powers and to figure out another way to bring werewolves down besides wolfsbane, and Thea getting kidnapped.

While I'm all for getting inspiration from pictures (and do that quite often), I like being capable of using my imagination/original designs and not being limited to and having to find a picture. And I feel too lazy to try drawing one. In my book, if I can't describe something well enough to not need one, then I've got a problem! So I apologize for the poor description, and appreciate that being pointed out. I've gone in and edited it to try to make Bearded-man's weapon and how he's wielding it clearer. Man, that was terrible! xD So, the paragraph now starting with "Meanwhile," and the last one got edited. Seriously sorry about that! Let me know if it gives a better picture now.

Anyway. You've got the wolfsbane part right! With info from someone in the castle, they knew to expect Zane and Byrce. In greater detail that wouldn’t have been known to our characters, Bearded-man made it, and it's basically a blow gun that stores darts laced in a mix of tranquilizer and wolfsbane, and loads them with a crank of the handle. The rectangular box with a lever is where the darts and mechanism to shoot them are stored. Another crank of that lever, and it’ll fire.

Did that answer your questions sufficiently?
