You venture a bit out into the swamplands, following a strange sound in the distance -- and before you can get too far, you spot a medium-sized animal, floundering around a bit among the trees. As you approach, you notice something strange: some shredded fabric still clinging around one foot, or around its neck, like the remnants of some long-destroyed clothing.
At this point, it occurs to you that this might be a transformed human being. maybe it's even one of you. And you must capture it.
Except it doesn't seem to want to be captured. Your approach spooks it, and it attacks you in blind fear.
Hit Points: 30 HP Damage: 4 HP each time you attack
If you bring this monster down to 5HP or below, it is injured and can be captured and brought back to the campsite for safe keeping until you can figure out what to do. However, if you drop it below 0HP, you kill it.
Either outcome, once finished witth at least 500 words each party involved in the battle gets 10XP and rolls 1d100 to collect loot according to the following:
1-10: You are bitten during the attack, and are turned into an animal! Size is determined by your weapon: agile weapons become small animals, balanced become medium sized, and heavy become large. 11-40: You gain nothing but the victory of having beaten this opponent. 41-99: Moly Flower: a small white flower with a dark root. You're not quite sure what it's for, but decide to keep it. 100: Fine Wine: Why would an animal have a bottle of wine? Considering all that's going on, we strongly suggest you don't drink. If you act rashly and do, though, please PM and be blue for consequences.

In some ways, Lex didn’t want to run across more chosen. They had a zoo building at the inn, and a limited number of cures. They had only managed to create three out of all the moly that they had collected, and bringing others back seemed a mix of being productive and adding to the problem. In one hand, they were bringing in turned people, providing for them at least, getting them out of the swamp. On the other, the more they gathered and the more that the chosen turned, the more they had to make a difficult decision of who the cures would go to.
They had cured Sid, they had one for Beth, and maybe one for the fashionable noodle snake, but that still left so many behind. So when they found the bedraggled cat, a mane coon, heavy and large, and with a bracelet on one paw, and a torn sock over one foot…they couldn’t leave it behind.
Even if it was an ungrateful little beast and sprung for their face.

“I really rather not hurt you,” Lex started, watching the cat pace, nervous and jittery, eyes large, dilated with just the barest ring of gold about. “But I really can’t just leave you out here as a cat. Even if you are a large heavy cat.” And a bit vicious but then, it was easier to forgive in a turn animal then it was something sick and rabid and gross.
“Be nice, kitty, kitty?” They questioned and batted it away as it jumped for their face. “Or not. I guess we can do not.”

Why was this cats fur so sinfully plush and soft and why was it so attractive to their face? Lex ducked, managing to get clawed in their shoulder instead of some place with thinner skin. Half of them just wanted to coo to the cat and pet it, half of them wanted the cat to stop trying to eat them.

Okay. They really didn’t want to hit the poor kitty. It was just a poor kitty, who use to be a human, who had really, really sharp claws and big kitty paws, and weighed more than they expected. Lex rubbed at a scratch, a well of blood oozing up.
Why did cats have such sharp, sharp claws?

Ooh, puss, puss. Why are you trying to scratch me so viciously? Lex gave a slight wince, shaking out his hand, blood trickling from his finger where sharp claws had sliced. “You are reminding me of my mom’s cat when we first brought her home.” Such a tiny black bundle of rage.

“I think I’m going to name you Minerva for complete and utter fandom nerdom,” Lex replied, dodging most of the claws and hip check the furry beast away. “It is a rather formable name for such a formable cat, and I think you are a lady.” He could be wrong, but how could he pass up this opportunity?

“This is just getting tiresome,” he admitted and blocked and shifted, keeping the cat from his eyes.

The last hit was harsh. Harsher then what he wanted. Lex moved carefully through he muck concern. “Puss?” He questioned and knelt, reaching out to touch the fur, feeling a pulse of life. “Sorry, didn’t mean to hit you that hard.”
