After fruitlessly searching the kitchen, the guards decided there wasn't anything to the Gnomes story.  After issuing a warning to the Gnome, they left the Inn returning back outside, in order to return to the main city hall. It was clear that the guards had more important work to do. Furious the human slammed the door behind them, ignoring the carnage within.  There had been far worse that night. No one ever heard from the Gnome after this, for when the adventurers woke they would find the Inn far less hospitable.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, the group had retired for the evening. Azior, had made his way upstairs.  The only part of the inn that remains untouched by the spiders. It didn't take long for the child to begin to get sleepy. Soon the young boy crawled into bed, curled up and fell asleep. It had been a long day.<br/><br/><div><hr style="height:2px; width:100%; border:0; color: green;background:green;"/></div><br/><div style="text-align: center;">EIGHT HOURS LATER</div><br/><div><hr style="height:2px; width:100%; border:0; color: GREEN;background:GREEN;"/></div><br/><br/>Azior screamed as the visions began. Blood, flowed along the floor like some perverse river.  Bodies littered the streets. Shadows moved like unnatural  beings.  Slithering this way and that. Reaching hungrily. Fear, anger, and hatred filled the room with their presence. Energy swirled around the child. Fire burned, bright in the ever-present darkness. A deep menacing voice spoke in the child's mind,<span style="font-style: italic">"awaken child of fire and bathe the world in your flames! Destroy them all!! Be what I made you!"</span>Pain ripped through the child. Azior squirmed and writhed, fighting to break free. A hand lashed out, grabbing the child by his throat, cutting off his screams.<br/><br/>Azior gasped as air left his lungs, but  would not return. He could not breathe. He panicked. Fighting harder to break free. He began to burn. Fire danced across his skin. Heat poured from him. Soon the bed, upon which he lay, began to burn. Angry vengeful laughter can be heard as the child's eyes open and he screams.
