fjjkdfuro15	i like it only a moon and that's it
firelander	just a question, are there more strange creatures in you land?
Alric	Were's are commonly thought to be vulnerable to silver.
hkmaly	Alric: Usually it's not so much "vulnerable to silver" as it's "invulnerable to anything else". Sure, touching silver might burn them, but if you want to kill a lycanthrope you need to use silver weapon (sword, bullet) and make a wound which would kill human with it. If you use normal weapon (steel sword, lead bullet), (s)he will regenerate it in several minutes.
Evie	i love it. I wish I could put my drawings on this site. I don't have a scanner. Or internet at the house.... :(
