[QUOTE="Sic_Pixie, post: 5854871, member: 52403"] [b]Unleash evil upon the world ...[/b] Heading to Hergstag in the middle of the night they are un-accosted by anything more dangerous than a few bussing insects and the calls of a fox or two. They arrive at the dilapidated hamlet at a little before 1am; Grembor taking the lead and Sayuri and Kat looking on expectantly as he makes his way through the undergrowth following the faint tracks and remnants of trails through the small village.
