OK. I think I exaggerated a bit. So their IQ drops to that of a wolf. Before I go on I quote DORASTOR p.25 : "...that the Telmori are cursed with chaos and must become, unreasoning, savage beasts under the full moon, to dash about the forest slaughtering man and beast alike in frenzied bloodlust." The mindlessness I ment was that they don't recognize anyone but only destinguish between pray and wolf. Perhaps they even say something like : well, next day we will be mad again, so we go to the middle of our forest and pray to Telmor that we won't reach our neighbour's territory again. I think everyone who goes on wilddays into Telmori territory is either very stupid or totally mad.
