[QUOTE="Maidhc O Casain, post: 5754623, member: 29558"] Before you stands a run-down, wooden facade with the words “Naderi Theater” painted across the top in faded letters. The painting of a young, pretty woman soaked to the bone with water and carrying a tiny dagger in one fist splashes across the front of the theater beneath the sign, though this mural is as faded as the lettering above. The ticket window is boarded up, the walls are covered in graffiti, and the doors are chained shut and have a sign that reads “Closed for Renovation” nailed across them. A quick check reveals that the chains on the front door are fake—the doors are unlocked and when opened, the chains open with them. Just inside the doors is a small hallway that runs east-west and leads up to the theater’s dusty balconies. Another set of double doors, just across the hallway from the entrance, is open and leads to the theater’s seating area. The seats are all covered in white sheets, which are covered in a fine layer of dust. Birds flap around in the rafters, and the fallen remnants of nests can be seen all about the seating area. On the stage is a covered piano and several chairs—the chairs are uncovered, their sheets cast aside, and piles of papers sit nearly around them. Wymund stands next to the stage, looking expectantly toward the doors. When you enter he says cryptically, [COLOR="SandyBrown"]"Vadoma failed to kill you, I see."[/COLOR] He sighs dramatically and continues, [COLOR="SandyBrown"]"Well I suppose it's a truth that if you want a thing done properly you have to take care of it yourself."[/COLOR] You become aware that a faint buzzing has been floating about the back of your consciousness since you entered. About halfway between you and Pratt, three of the biggest beetles you've ever seen in your lives are hovering about 15 feet off the ground. The beetles glow softly, and begin to move toward you.
