Fells, east of the Greenbelt, the Border Kingdoms
Afternoon, Fifth of Kythorn, Year of Lightning Storms (1374 DR)

The werewolf snapped its teeth at Dergosh in reply, making the cleric jerk his hand back more out of instinct. Dergosh might not have realised that the bite of a werewolf could inflict the curse of lycanthropy, but either way his hands avoided the audible clack of the beast's jaws locking together. It narrowed its eyes as magical energy flowed over it, but snarled harder, unmoved or unaffected by the spell.

It went for Dergosh. Snapping jaws slashed at Dergosh's leg, but again the half-orc's reflexes were faster, and the beast roared in frustration as the cleric jerked his foot back and away. Then it turned -- to run. And with the speed that wolves were known for, chances were it'd be well out of range before anyone had a chance to react to it.

The half-orc had a sudden moment of clarity. These things didn't happen often to him, but for one, beautiful, shining moment the balance of the harpoon in his striking hand was perfect like Mom's club, even though it wasn't the sort of weapon one used this close up. So it just seemed very natural to thrust, outward, wrist tightened, just so.

The harpoon dived into the werewolf's exposed side, plunging in perhaps four inches right of where it had plunged in hours ago. This time, it struck true. Silver found the creature's heart, and burned there in its flesh.

And the werewolf dropped in its tracks, with nothing more than a final grunt.

Dergosh tore the harpoon free. The werewolf twitched, once, and died.

And, in seconds, before the half-orc's eyes, the creature's form changed, reverting from the wolfen form it had back to the human they'd spoken to moments before, this time sporting a very ugly wound in the centre of his chest, body cold already.

The play by play:

- Dergosh casts Command. Werewolf goes for AoO with bite attack ... and rolls a 4, miss.
Command is cast. Werewolf rolls 16, saves against Command.
- Werewolf attacks Dergosh, likely going for a trip attack. Bite attack -- rolls 9, total of 14 ... which is a miss on Dergosh at AC 16. Werewolf then uses its move action to try to run.
- Dergosh goes for AoO ...

... and gets a natural 20.

Critical hit confirmation comes back a roll of 7, which is fail ... but he rolls 4 damage, which is enough to drop it to below 0. Pulling the weapon out does the same damage again, which is enough to kill it. DR doesn't apply since it's a silver weapon.

I cheered. That's two opponents smashed on AoOs!

That's 150 XP each.

In terms of gear, the sword is a rusty ordinary longsword that may not be worth much. Nothing else on the guy but his old peasant clothes. Obviously you keep the two silver harpoons.
