Chapter One: Gone In The Night
Cauldron, Late Autumn, Just Before Nightfall
IC: Steady drizzle falls from the ash-grey sky. The crowded, rain-slicked buildings seem especially bleak and frightful this evening, hunched together beneath the tireless rain. A few lights burn in their eyes, but mostly their shutters have been closed for the night. The scent of chimney smoke fills the air, as does the din of water trundling from the rooftops, splashing into dark alleys, and turning street gutters into rivulets.
A sudden, plaintive cry for help splits the evening air. It seems to come from somewhere nearby.
Actions?
OOC: Please lead up to your character's response to the sound of the cry for help with a bit of recent background. How long have they been in Cauldron, what have they been doing, why are they out on the streets on a chilly, rainy evening?
A short time in the city is enough for all characters to gather a sense of the general state of affairs. Life in Cauldron is good overall, and people seem pleased with their Lord Mayor and town guard. However, they are worried about a recent string of disappearances and robberies. People have been taken from their homes during the night, and the town guard has been unable to identify the culprits, or or locate the vanished citizens. Moreover, the victims' homes were stripped of portable valuables. No place, it seems, is secure.
