[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 7436335, member: 813"] Night falls and as the last remnants of sunlight disappear an eerie stillness lays on the inn. Even the children know better than to make noise. Outside, a distant wolf howls. It's call is answered many moments later by another wolf, also far away but located in a different direction. Over the next hour the sporadic sound of distant wolf howls come closer, obviously surrounding the small village. As people try to sleep, the timing of the howls is just enough that you feel yourself just on the cusp of sleep as then next howl shocks you awake. Or the howls invade your dreams. The dream of being attacked by wolves is common in the inn. On the fourth watch, Keth is awake when it sounds like wolf has howled right outside the inn's front door. The distinct sound of a bow string seems to echo loudly from above and the sound of the wolf running away is easily heard. Keth goes upstairs to the room over the front door. The old man sitting at the window with a long bow, an arrow nocked and ready, sees him and whispers, "I missed him." Keth goes to the window and looks out. In the distance, beyond his darkvision, he thinks he sees a light across the way. Silently he points and the old man follows his gaze as the light goes out. "That's the church. No one is holed up there. Shouldn't be no light," whispers the man. [/QUOTE]
