As the night progresses each of you takes their turn at watch. The town is eerily quiet, the only noise coming during Shayla's watch when the guard changes.
The more Shayla thinks on it, the more she is convinced that Patronis "controlled" this incident of possession, albeit subconsciously. She is quite certain that the entity would be unable to force Patronis to do something against his will.
As dawn rolls around, the town begins to come to life. Farmers from the various homes and lodging houses head out the gates in the predawn light to tend the fields. Just down the street an open air market is quickly taking shape with locals selling all kinds of local produce and goods. As the sun crests the horizon so begins the sound of hammer on steel, as somewhere in the distance a smithy is fired.
Suddenly, Brenwars eyes snap wide open and he wakes up with a scream of terror, drenched in sweat.
You have had dreams, bad dreams, nightmares of shadows and blood. You were walking in endless dark corridors, surrounded by whispering voices from the shadows, beckoning you onwards. After several moments you remember where you are, but cannot shake the vivid images and voices.
