A strange new shape

I do not know what kind of power I have discovered, but it can no longer be doubted I am far different than my fellow Lycanthropes. Malakar's fighting style is quite impressive, and his hybrid form is quite powerful, but neither compare to my... unique... abilities.

My most recent discovery: with just a bit more effort than shifting to an annis hag, I can actually shift into a cave troll, the strange beasts I saw attack the goliaths. I do not know if this form is always better--for one, I seem less able to grab onto larger enemies. But... such raw strength.

I must remember, though, that the most powerful option is not necessarily the best option. I cannot help but wonder if we would have had more success against the caster had I chosen an octopus form sooner--I may well have been able to grab the bastard sooner.

Ah, well. All in all, a good fight, and my companions seem pleased to have saved the two of the dwarves.

I wonder. I wonder who our real enemies are, and who are our allies. I seem to have found my way to the center of it all.
