Morning comes and a new day dawns bright and cloudless, with temperatures never rising above -30 Degrees F. Snow still covers the town, blinding white in the brilliant winter sun.[Word of the massacre at the sherif's office has flashed through town; frightened townsfolk raided stores for firearms and supplies and alot locked themselves in their homes.]The staff at the Clearwater Hotel tries to maintain operations as usual, but tensions are running high. Mamie Hesley is jumping at shadows and refusing to be alone. Julia, the hotel maid who discovered the second body, is having a nervous breakdown. Even the ever-polite staff, exhausted and frazzeled from too many sleepless nights, are snapping and growling at guests. Everyone in town, even the other guests refuse to look you five in the eye....Sometime early during the morning, when you five just walk out of the Valley View and finished your breakfast, you are approached by the mysterious man Ross and Ray saw following them around the day before when they were in town for shopping and a little research. He introduces himself as John Stonehill, the old man’s face betrays a nervous desperation that he somehow keeps out of his voice.I must speak with you, he says softly. For the Beast has marked you, and the Darkness grows stronger every night.The old man’s paranoia is at once unnerving to the five of you and contagious, ow so contagious: He refuses to explain himself further until you take him somewhere private. Doc takes a somewhat bedazzled look at the rest of you.Euhm, guys? Should we take him up to our rooms or not? And no Ray please save me the wisenosed remark on that comment of mine... But, well? Or don't we trust this... you suspected Indians and now some guy comes up to us, I'm curious myself what he has to say, allthough I don't think it'll get us further from harm if I'm honest, but I'm still in tregued a bit... how sick it may sound. This is mystery and it's gnawing at my mind to solve it. He then looks sincerely at all of you wondering what you think and what you'll say.They always say just listening won't hurt? *Allthough we all know how large a pile of bullsh*t that is, he thinks*</blockquote>
