Alyson could see the plumes of smoke rising from the city, "That can't be good. Now, Venger can't say that my friends and I were to blame, on this one." The swiftwind easily caught up with the horse and riders, keeping pace with the equine was a cake walk.
"Venger you say?" asked the Human with a raised eyebrow, "What do you know of our benefactor, my lady?"
She was about to say something when the elementalist gasped at the chaos taking place within the city limits. One big tangled mass of bodies. "What the--?!"
When Alyson and her companions got close enough to Fair Weather to plainly see the source of the fires, they saw a sight straight out of a Hammer House horror film and hell itself. Were-wolves were everywhere. Slashing City Guardsmen, killing frightened citizens, biting helpless victims, overturning vending stalls, feasting on the dead, ripping their way through wooden walls and howling triumphantly over fresh kills.
The Human was speechless as he stared at the sight before him.
The Dwarf hissed, "By Ragok's Black Beard! What caused this?!"
Four of the Were-wolves caught their scent on the wind and charged towards them seeking fresh meat to eat.
Alyson jumped off her summoned creature and sent it away out of harm's way. The swiftwind bolted in the opposite direction of the inferno that ravaged the city. It was gone in a flash, and Alyson unleashed a blast of lightning into the air high above the night sky, summoning a rain storm to quench the flames. The rain came down in a torent of water stamping out most of the flames in minutes. It also caused the werewolves to loose their traction on city streets from time to time.
The elementalist sank down towards the ground, she hadn't enough rest yet to command the storm and it was beginning to dissipate, "NNnnnoo...not now, ugh!" Gritting her teeth she tried to stand up but her legs wouldn't budge. She was too tired to do anymore leaving her right in the path of a pack of voracious werewolves. Alyson was exhausted and at this point she was wishing that help would arrive, evening Venger's presence would be a welcome sight...
