It all started about two weeks ago.  The city of Haever, close enough to the empire's seat of power that it never feared any sort of outside danger, was starting to go into a panic.  A small group of scouts, while exploring the woods about a three miles out of town, found a small building in a clearing that no one remembered ever seeing before.  The building looked like any ordinary clothing store, with various outfits on display and hanging on racks, but there were no people anywhere nearby to tend to it.<br/><br/>Two days later, a larger group of scouts was sent to confirm the sighting and investigate further.  They were never heard from again.  A few days after that, a small caravan was found abandoned in the road; apparently the merchant had left another city to head to Haever, taking his wife and a few mercenary guards.  In the next week, three more disappearances were noticed, prompting the city to place a bounty on the store, and offer a reward for anyone able to investigate the reasoning behind the sudden disappearances.<br/><br/>Flyers for the bounty and reward were posted in every tavern in the city, and news and rumors spread quickly.  A few other groups had managed to set out in search of the store, and finally one member of those groups returned.  He was clearly upset by the ordeal that had left him returning without any of his companions, babbling something about the clothing coming to life and attacking them.  While most people discarded his story as just the ramblings of a madman, it was enough to fuel even more rumors about what kind of demonic building the store must be.
