Werewolf of London[]
Sometime around the year 1935, botanist Doctor Wilfred Glendon and his colleague Hugh Renwick traveled to the mountains of Tibet in search of a rare and elusive plant known as Mariphasa lupine lumina - the wolf flower. They spent six months coordinating efforts and setting up camp in the region, three of which involved harsh travel through the mountains. Doctor Glendon hired a team of servants, or coolies to assist them as guides and to maintain care of the camels and ponies. The coolies were a superstitious bunch and believed that demons lived in the valleys. They complained to their foreman and threatened to abandon the expedition. Glendon and Renwick encountered an English missionary traveling through the area who warned them that "there are things that are best not to be bothered with". He added that he had never heard of anyone ever returning from the valley they sought to explore. As Glendon and Renwick continued on, they had to abandon their mounts and travel on foot through a tight crevasse. Renwick complained about not being able to move his feet any further. This effect was not brought on by fatigue, but rather by some strange inexplicable element of the supernatural. Renwick took some time to rest, but Glendon continued onward until he finally found the Mariphasa lupine lumina. As he reached for the plant, a werewolf leaped out from behind a rock and attacked him. The two grappled with one another on the ground and the creature delivered a vicious scratch across Glendon's right arm. Glendon managed to stab it in the side with his knife, driving the monster off. He collected the wolf flower and returned home.
