Semund Schoter

== The Incident ==
Sometime around the 3rd of Pflugzeit, 2477. Semund along with the rest of the Squad were tasked to scout Iron Rock and report of any green skin sightings. On their travel southeast, the group saw a bright green meteor crash into a nearby forest. Semund, a natural born "warphead" knew exactly what had fallen from the sky. Pure and untouched warpstone now emitted a bright glow that illuminated the sky. Semund now salivating at the thought of tasting the warpstone for the first time in years, urged the group to check out the meteor, even for a second. Bickering emerged from the party. Draco urging to remain on the road away from warpstone. After a few minutes of arguing, the itch was too much and Semund along with his horse raced in the direction of the glow. 
Semund fills his bag with as much warpstone as the boy could carry. He lugs the bag over his shoulder, but finds the urge to consume warpstone too strong. He takes just a nibble of warpstone, but even a pinch of warpstone ingestion is enough to catastrophically alter the body and mind. Massive bull like horns erupts from the small skull of Semund. This would've been extremely painful, but the ecstasy of the drug numbed his entire body. With his hunger for the stone sated, Semund returned to the group.
Before they could even finish arguing the small frail figure of Semund returned. Only now, Semund's horns extruded from his head in all directions. In horror, Romulus pulls his rifle on Semund. It's clear that the squad could never return to camp with Semund as deformed as he was. Romulus pulls the trigger without hesitation shooting Semund directly in the chest. Before Romulus fires another shot Draco halts him. The group decides that Semund should leave. Escape into the mountains and to never show his face again. Semund hobbles away, to ease the pain of the bullet, he decides to consume one final piece of warpstone. 
An immense amount of power surges through Semund. His body erupts, bones crack and expand, fur spreads along his entire body. His face morphs, clothes shred as he grows to twice his size, and finally the transformation is complete. The chaos had consumed him and the Semund as they knew it was gone. In his place a horrific looking beast. With a final cry the beast charges off back in the direction of the meteor.
