*Polo strolls in, pets Timmy, refills the seed and water dishes, and goes into the back to prepare a potion*

*strange sounds or animals being run through a clothes mangle can be heard*

*Polo emerges three days later with a long, slender green bottle*

Timmy, I'm off to the Guild on Official Business.

*leaves*

*Polonius enters the shop from the rear alley wheeling Lycan in an apple cart, depositing him gently on the couch in the front room*

*Polo makes sure the door is locked*

Hello, Timmy. One of the guild members has been injured. Do not allow him to leave, should he regain consciousness. My, did this room get smaller?

[Timmy] There was a delivery.

*the small shop is now overflowing with trinkets, boubles, knicknacks, bottles, jars, vessles, herbs, potted live plants, bones, scales, pickled organs, crystals, minerals, amulets, wands, and various pieces of equipment cramming every horizontal surface. The floor is scattered with boxes, some open and spilling packing material all over the floor*

*Polo applies an ointment to Lycan to relieve pain and prevent infection of wounds*

*Polo leaves for the wall*

*Walks into the shop.*

Must have had a delivery!

I have the potion you gave me for Sharmin. It might work for Lycan, if he's possessed.

I dont think he's here...

Urgh...

~~Polo? Where are you? We're at the shop, with Lycan!~~

*Walks in*

Ooh it's crowded in here has Polo had a delivery

*Walks into the rather crowded shop*

~~~I went back to the wall to see if there were any more injured. I shall return presently~~~

*Polo walks in*

Oompf! I think it's time I had a sale!

I've brought the potion for Lycan, but I don't know what will happen when I give it to him. I want you there with me.

Firstly, we need to know if he has been possessed by a spirit or mearly brainwashed. Applying the potion where it is not needed may split his personality. However, if there is a demon spirit in Lycan, there will be created two Lycans, one with his true spirit and one with the false spirit. The false one must be destroyed to avoid a plurality.

You know how to use this better than I do...

*Hands him the potion*

How can you tell if he is being possessed or merely brainwashed?

Well Lycan's a pain but it's difficult to believe he'd do something like this and he was tortured by the DA

tortured...



I'll... .just be going shall I?

Why? What's wrong? The shield should hold while we get Lycan back to normal.

I just... dont feel comforable hear when theres a morauding army outside....
*smiles nervously*

We're quite safe in here; fire flood famine and pestulence have yet to tear this building asunder.
And we need to know what exactly what happened to him before I can administer the potion. *takes potion and puts it in his pocket*
Maybe we could capture one of the invading generals and question it? Like we did with the sick Drow?
