Nydra leaves the cellar and Mero, meeting up with Xenon. As the sounds of combat ring down the stairs, the pair ready themselves and rush up. They arrive just after those in the hall dispatch the child-ghoul. A quick check reveals its victim is well past hope of healing. From a room farther down the hall, those upstairs hear scratching and scrabbling about, as if some large animal were moving therein.
In the basement, Mero waits patiently, perhaps a bit nervously. The fetid air from the sewer becomes more noticeable as time passes.
