The next morning as the adventurers woke up, they found Edge cooking breakfast of wild berries, meat pies and tea. "Good morning everyone" said Edge, "Swordplay is not the only thing I learned in Brimhaven". The newly awoken four thought this to be a very good idea, and sat on the ground, ready to eat. Faye noticed something off though. Then, as Edge turned to the side, Faye could have sworn she saw a glint of yellow in Edge's normally green eyes. Slowly, the reality of what happened hit her hard. "Everyone, don't touch those!" shrieked Faye. Startled, Aubury, Vannaka, and Mandrith all dropped their dishes. "That isn't Edge." said Faye, who drew her bow. Mandrith drew his sword, along with Vannaka. Aubury pulled his wand and used a telekinetic grab spell on a strange vial hanging from the not-Edge's hip. It flew to Aubury's hand and he read aloud "Extra strength weapon poison" from the bottle. As he did, not-Edge mutated, growing fur, and turning into a wolf now that her cover was blown. Aubury froze the thing and demanded "Tell us what you did with Edge.". Before the wolf answered, a muffled scream was heard from a bit behind Edge and Faye's tent. Aubury flicked his hand as a gesture to Faye, and she went to look. There lie Edge, slightly bloody, very dirty, but otherwise unharmed, save that she was bound and gagged. Careful not to cut Edge, Faye took the dagger laying near her and cut the bonds. The second they were cut, Edge exclaimed "Oh Faye, I'm so sorry to put you through all this, but we have to go back around and help Aubury and the warriors. That wolf is stronger than he looks." Tossing Edge the dagger, they ran around to the other side only to see Aubury, Mandrith and Vannaka all on the ground, stuned, and the wolf running away across the bridge leading away from the tower. Not to be outdone by a beast, Faye strung a poisoned arrow and shot it at the fleeing wolf. It hit and the wolf staggered a bit and continued to run. "He won't be able to tell anyone where or who we are now." said Faye rather blatantly.
