[!]
Denizens of the undercity of late whisper of strange things... Sounds out of reach originating from the catacombs, animals avoiding the entrances, and a deep rumble from within that no one can understand. One thing is clear, things are stirring within the catacombs...

{!}

Something has been unsealed in the shadow of the mountains. Long forgotten halls open wide to the world once more. Dark secrets wait to be learned..

[!]

A few people can be seen hauling various supplies, beds, and what appears to be medical equipment out of the spire and towards Albern's Crossing. A whisper that a clinic is making it's way to the under served community. Healthcare is a right after all.

[!]

Rumor has it there's a new clinic in the undercity, tucked away among stalactites and lichen.

The Rabbit's Foot Clinic is open for business!

[!]

In the dead of night screams echo out through the caverns of the undercity; a woman screaming for her children to run. A few good-hearted denizens of the caves left to investigate, finding a horrifying scene. Three children huddled together in a tent looking out at a campfire that has since burned out, extinguished by blood. Two of them could do nothing but sob, while the third only stared; their eyes completely empty. Their mother was murdered, the empty eyed child could only say one word:

"Vampire"

[!]
A small group of bloodied, weary, mercenaries return to the Spire leading a cart filled with over 10 tied up prisoners. The cart stops at the Thorn and Thistle before kicking a man out to the street and leaving with the prisoners.

[!]

Rumours spread of a small, unmarked ship docking close to the beach. Before anyone could screen it, the ship had already disappeared.

Notably, Medeori hasn't been seen for a bit.

OOC:
This is just me giving a reason for Medeori to be absent from The Southern Reach, as I am taking a break for IRL reasons. This isn't an event line, it is simply something to start from when I return. In other words, don't arrange things to look for her, etc. Thank you everyone for understanding!

EDIT: I am now allowing investigation into this! DM me on Discord if your character would worry if Medeori was gone for awhile.

At some point in the middle of the night, close to dawn, a maskless Jester was seen guiding a certain Centurion towards the hospital. 

The Centurion seemed to be badly beaten, but alive. Bite marks up and down his neck, scratches upon his face, and an eye missing. Perfectly taken from its place upon the body. . A letter, hardly visible from a distance upon his wrist.

One might wonder- who… or what? Did they encounter? 

[!]

A masked and hooded individual hits the road. Those who pass him notice he is headed in the direction of The Wall.

He might not be seen for a while.

OOC: 

Taking a break IRL. Just giving this as something to build off of when I return (no idea when that will be, sorry).

Feel free to DM about my char, they will still be open, I just won't be in the MC or DC server.

[!]

Whispers in the night spread in hushed tones throughout the tavern the next day.

In the dead quiet of moonlight, a woman with silver hair was seen stuck up with arrows, deathly pale and bleeding. A man in black napped her up, shackles and all. She was pulled off, deep into the darkness. Surely, if mothers are to leave their children out to play at night then that shadowed specter of a figure will snatch them up too.  And those that know of the fear in the Spire know that this was no ordinary reaper...

...But the Rieper.

Or so the rumors say.
