As you walk through the streets, you come to Merchant District. The bag-boy of the hotel you find is rather attractive, and later that night, when he leaves your room, you settle down to a happy, comfortable night's sleep, delightful warmth and a little soreness soothing you.. As you sleep in the nude, there's a crash of glass, and a pair of almost canine men in blood-stained clothes leap towards you. They pull you out of the bed, and look prepared to rape you, but you manage to seize the old cavalry saber, beheading first one, then the other. You feel empowered by this, rolling the corpses into a closet carefully, having taken the horrors down with increasing ease. You settle down to the rest of the night's sleep, after putting a wardrobe in front of the broken windows...<br/>---<br/>OOC You manage to take out the two ghouls. :-P. You've managed to make the world a little safer once again, heh.<br/>---<br/>The next day is the day of an unusually long solar eclipse, as the planets align... The day is black as night, spells being interfered with by the intense magnetic radiation, another gate opening, this time in the graveyard, disturbed dead rising as the Plateau of Leng is exposed to the world. A Byakhee wildly flies out of it. At the same time, the Dhole moves along to the Uptown streets, the strange tremors continuing.
