Summary:
On The Nomad, Sinbad and Doubar do their best to calm their nervous passenger, Kullu, who must get his cargo to Basra before sunset. As the moon rises over Basra, three servants wait on the docks for Kullu.
Suddenly, a creature attacks and the men are torn apart. The next day The Nomad docks at Basra and Firouz finds the mutilated bodies. A group of citizens led by the mayor, Albetta arrives and a fight breaks out. It stops as Yaga comes onto the scene. He is Kullu's house guest and he warns the citizens to quickly bury the dead. Yaga invites the crew to stay at Kullu's home until the beast has been dealt with.
At the house, the crew meets Kullu's invalid son, Mal. He and Bryn share a brief flirtation as the crew dines. Mal dissuades Kullu from tending to the cargo. The cargo came too late to be of use. Later that night, the beast smashes through the window of Kullu's study. Sinbad charges into the room and hurls a torch at the beast which catches the herbs in the cargo crate on fire. The creature escapes as the crew extinguishes the flame. Kullu is dead and Mal's room has been torn apart. He is missing.
Firouz identifies the beast as a werewolf, a lycanthrope that's part human and part wolf. He shows the crew the last remnants of Kullu's cargo -- wolfsbane and garlic -- which are remedies for lycanthropy if administered on the first night of the full moon. That night, Sinbad finds the werewolf in the town . The beast knocks him to the ground and is about to rip out his throat when Doubar arrives. Doubar runs the werewolf through with his silver inlaid sword but is bitten by the dying beast. It stumbles off into the darkness as Doubar collapses to the ground. The next night as the crew hunts for the beast Doubar transforms into the werewolf. Sinbad finds the lupine Doubar and recognizes his brother. With Bryn and Firouz at his side, Rongar appears and hurls a dirk at the Doubar werewolf. He stumbles off into the woods as the crew realizes Doubar is the monster. Sinbad tells them that tomorrow night, the final night of the full moon, Doubar must die.
The next morning Mal's body is found -- dead with a stab wound through the heart. Yaga tells Bryn that Mal was the werewolf and he passed on the curse of the Vlkodak to Doubar. Any person who survives the attack of the Vlkodak becomes a werewolf and those killed by the Vlkodak are lost souls. Yaga tells Bryn that there is one way left to save Doubar. A channeler of pure good can lead him to the light. She goes in search of Doubar. When Sinbad finds out, he runs off in search of Bryn. The thought of losing both Bryn and Doubar sends him on a wild race through the woods. Bryn finds the werewolf Doubar and tries to use her magic to help him. He hesitates then backhands her against a tree. Sinbad arrives on the scene with his sword drawn. He talks to his brother and calms him. He convinces Doubar to take his hand and a warm rainbow light glows from Sinbad's bracelet. Bryn realizes that Sinbad is the channeler as Doubar returns to normal. On board The Nomad the crew sets sail. Firouz discovers Yaga's journal in his bag. He reads that Mal's first victim had been a healer named Yaga. With the curse ended, Yaga and the other victims are free from their curse
