Dr. Crowe is tending to a grouping of plague sores on a servant’s wrist. The two are completely unaware of what is transpiring behind them. The silhouette of Lord Ambrose’s transformation into a hellacious, plague-infested werewolf can be seen through the canopy drapes.
1 CAP DR. CROWE: The chilling memory still haunts me to this day. I was a fool to think that I could stop the grisly inevitable.
2 DR. CROWE: Now, miss, let's have a look at that arm of yours.
Panel 2.
The werewolf stands before them on its haunches, towering over Dr. Crowe and the servant girl. Dr. Crowe has armed his steam-powered crossbow and has it pointed directly at the werewolf.
3 DR. CROWE CAP: I had miscalculated the severity of his affliction, and the treatment only served to accelerate his turn.
4 WEREWOLF: ROAAARAGH!
5 DR. CROWE: Quick! Get behind me!
Panel 3.
The beast pounces on the servant and begins violently ripping her to bloody shreds.
5 SERVANT: AIIIIEEE!!
Panel 4.
Dr. Crowe fires his crossbow and sends an arrow directly into its black heart. It roars out in pain.
6 WEREWOLF: ROAAARAGH!
7 DR. CROWE: Damn you, beast! Don’t make me do this!
SFX: FWIP!
Panel 5.
Dr. Crowe stands over the slain beast. His crossbow rests proudly on his shoulder.
8 CAP DR. CROWE: In the blink of an eye there was so much meaningless death.
9 CAP DR. CROWE (2): If only they had sent for me sooner.
10 CAP DR. CROWE (3): If only.

Gotta say, Mister Corey, it's fascinating stuff. Elegantly captures mood, gives a lot of room for an artist to really go all out, and deepens the mystery at the very end. All the best on your Kickstarter campaign!
