The atmosphere is tense and quiet: a quiet not born of fear, but of excited anticipation. Conversations are hushed, and every now and then a pair of eyes shifts in the direction of the doorway.they would Nobody comes.... Just when the patrons of The Hanged Man begin to wonder if Brastrix is playing some poor excuse for a hoax, footsteps are heard just outside.
