The night was strange indeed. Sassy took one watch and walked along the balcony and gazed down below. The night was misty by nature now, and she could not even see the ground below. She could see faintly by moonlight the roiling mist on the other side of the river. It met with the wards and coiled back. On the whisper of the wind she heard cries and growls, and moans that seemed to come from the grave.<br/><br/>Then she heard them, whining and growling at the base of the tree. Hellhounds!! They could not climb the trees, thank goodness. But the rotting stench of brimstone and sulfur reached her sensitive nose. She bent her head to pray.<br/><br/>Reliat joined her at the balcony. "What are they doing here? I have not seen their like in many years. Should we wake the others?"<br/><br/>Sassy shook her head. "They cannot reach us, but I can send them away from the town. Let's see if this shines some light on the ground. I am not sure how many there are. The fog is so thick."<br/><br/>Reaching into her deep faith, Sassy casts a beam of pure heavenly light down to the ground, attempting to scare or kill whatever is below them.<br/><br/>(Cast-Searing Light)
