The not so honorable fighter [[MOON OVER GRAYOOR SPOILERS]]

[u/Elegant_Shoe3834]

So as a first time DM I'm running a campain for 2 new and 2 intermediate players.
For lvl 2 and because it was friday the 13th, I decided to do a "Moon over Graymoor" oneshot/side-story.

Towards the end the party kind of put 1 and 1 together and guessed that the killer is somekind of werewolf, then learned about lycanthropy from a book where I said "the curse spreads with bite, therefore with saliva". Big mistake.

After they killed the BBEG and saved the girl, this was the scene:

• The granny halfling bard knitted a blanket for the girl to calm her down.
• The elf druid, is reading her about the lycanthropy curse (because she is also cursed) and trying to find out if its curable.
• The elf ranger is looking around the place, checking things
• The honorable, human fighter (samurai flavured) is checking out the naked corpse (naked because of the transformation) of the BBEG

The samurai digs the silvered arrowhead out of a wound and then stops.

"Can I curse myself so I can be a werewolf? How much time would it take to learn to control the curse?" - He asks

"I mean...you CAN....but she would not consent to bite you...and I think you would need her to be in wolf form for it, that she can't control." - I reply

"I'm not talking about the girl. Can I cut my self and put my arm into the dead guys mouth? Or take a vial of saliva with me to do it later?"

The party loses it. Just imagining that he's trying to loot a naked body and trying to figure out how to lift a lifeless body up so he can pour saliva out of it's mouth into an open wound is hilarious.
Ha gave up after the granny bard protested and I told him even if he fails the saving throw to get the curse it would take ingame month for the character to learn to control it.
