Bad Dog

**"Bad Dog"** or **"Return of the Lichemaster: Geheimnisnacht Part 3"** is Chapter 14 of *The Vagabond Chronicles* series. The episode starts with Dr. Dasher at the top of the stairs, growling at the party as his eyes are glowing yellow. Underneath his shirt there is a very clear bite mark on his left shoulder but it's already scarred over.

## Summary

Teddy succeeds an initiative test and does a handspring of Ziggy's shoulders, leaping over. Ziggy stuns Dr. Dasher with a strike. Rattigan grabs some spirit bottles with the intention to make some more molotovs. Bondo fails an intelligence test and can't recall how to make an improvised weapon. Rattigan instead starts throwing bottles. Bondo tries opening the door, but it's locked. Wavey Davey starts walking towards the front doors as they get banged on, he runs for cover. The party does an initiative test, Teddy gets a critical succes and hears other noises towards where the stables are, it sounds like hooting. Bondo hears this too and thinks the war penguins are screaming out in pain. Bondo tries to pick the lock of the door but fails his lock pick test, breaking his lockpicks. Wilmer and Derek are screaming out in distress. Bondo talks to Ziggy about the war penguins and asks him to cover him. Ziggy is just staring at the window, loading his crossbow completely disregarding Bondo. Rattigan fails his initiative test as he puts his ear to the door but he doesn't hear anything. Wavy Davey climbs the banister to get up higher. Bondo finds a lockbox with a note and a key in it. Ziggy fires at the werewolves outside but misses, the werewolves use the opportunity to smash through the window. Rattigan commands Spidge to get some wire for him as he casts Petty Lightning bolt to ignite the liquor on the floor. There's a little pool of fire that erupt and starts burning but the big pile of stuff doesn't catch alight. Rattigan starts blowing on the little fire.

The party needs to make a cool test, everyone fails apart from Bondo and moves away. Bondo hits the werewolves for 6 points of damage. The chickens are screaming from their coop outside. The werewolves are starting to break through. Bondo tries the key on the door but realises its a lock key, not for any door outside. Rattigan fails a coolness test and takes an insanity point and gets terrified of werewolves(he's now unable to move, do actions or defend himself). Bondo hits a werewolf for 6 points of damage, knocking it out. Teddy sees a werewolf being sucked into the chicken coop and then sees a head flying. He sees a giant chicken on the top of the wall. Bondo sees weird shafts of green light and the light is pointed at the chicken coop, transforming them. Bondo manages to keep his cool, seeing this. Teddy grabs Rattigan and starts to pull him to the stairs. Rattigan passes with luck to snap out of his fear. Ziggy passes his coolest and slaps himself, breaking his fear. Bondo gets bitten in his arm by the werewolf (now at 5 wounds). Bondo gets a critical succes for 10 points of damage, killing the werewolf with a blow to the head. There's a couple of screams from the kitchen as the werewolves get in more as a massive thing steps through the front door. Bondo yells at the person in the pillow fort telling them to get upstairs but hears a 'umm...no' coming from inside. Teddy checks down the far end of the hallway. Ziggy yells at Rattigan to get out of the way 'im about to drop some cool shit his way, watch watch me!' as Rattigan turns his back on him so he can move past. Ziggy blocks the stairs. Wavey davey finds a door and is asking around if someone has the key. Teddy passes an initiative test jumping out of the window and manages to push himself against the door. The people upstairs hear the furniture being moved out of the way. Ziggy is standing guard at the stairs. Wavey davey jumps out of the window next.

Rattigan does a quick search through one of the rooms, looking for a new bathrobe for his collection. He finds one, looking even nicer than his previous one as he wears it over the one he's currently wearing. Bondo jumps out of the window but fails as he's now falling 3 yards down. Teddy goes into the store room with wavey davey, in the corner there's a large chimney and a blacksmith's forge. There's a lot of tools on the wall above a work bench. He sees lockboxes and a large chest with an intricate combination lock. Rattigan lowers himself down the drainpipe using the new bathrobe, succeeding a dex test to get down unscathed. Teddy fails a coolness test and gets fear from the werewolves. Rattigan holds out his hand as Mr Spidge sits in it and a little spectral flame pops out above his head. Rattigan calls on his brain, which tells him to just walk around the room. Bondo makes an initiative test +20 as he realises that he's in a forge room, on top of the workbench he sees a magazine, original no. 1 of the story pamphlets. Wavey Davey tells the party to listen but they hear nothing. Wavey davey tells them to really listen as they hear a whistle tone. Dr dasher says that he's waiting for the party to exit the store room so the werewolves can eat them.
