New Rule: Ghouls

Since we made some changes on how ghouls paralyze foes, I thought I'd balance that out a bit.

Ghouls get 3 attacks per round, the infamous claw, claw, bite.

Claw attacks do not cause paralysis, only bites do.  But also, bites have a 5% chance of passing a disease onto the player which will kill them in 1d4 days turning them into ghouls unless a cure disease spell is cast.

Tonight's Background

Having battled and decimated a camp of hobgoblins and freed a prisoner, Throckmorton, a priest of the chaotic god Khalk'Ru the Destroyer, the party continued through the woods. At dusk they discovered some very ancient ruins smothered in the overgrowth and spent the night hidden amongst the rubble.  In the morning they explored some doors and rooms of the ruins coming upon a pristine and peaceful open air garden containing a large pool and a magic fountain...

We'll divide up experience first thing as this garden can be considered a safe haven.
