"Keep running, now, the night draws near. . ."       [!] Amidst the letters posted below ground, the word that spreads of strange happenings about, someone takes notice.

The woods are not safe. It is dangerous to go alone. Find me in the Slug Hole tavern. We leave at dawn.- A. "       ". . .

[!] Flyers are strewn about the Undercity, warning fellow merchants of cursed items being sold. A figure stops by the board, with darkened hair and fiery eyes. He lingers there, for longer than most - A shake of his head, continuing on with his day.  It isn't long before similar notices make their way above ground. Travelers report strange occurrences in the woods. Some recall strange dreams, a feeling of being watched. Word travels quick in this town. The fey-touched stranger tries to pay it no mind.  But is it truly a coincidence?  He sits alone in the far corner of the Slug Hole, clutching onto a letter. This feels familiar. He isn't sure yet what to make of it.  He too, will dream of violet eyes. 

    "When all is said and done, and the curtain falls a final time . . ."       [!] Wood creaks, a wagon trailing down the moonlit road, wheels worn by the gravel. An unexpected bump - A crate knocked loose onto the ground. The merchandise scattered about.   He comes to a halt. Soon, the serene night is pierced by a scream. The pale-faced merchant runs to town; Sputtering something about a ghost. The wagon waits, patient.        ". . . Our dreams will all come true, mes chèrs."  [OOC Disclaimer]  This is the first part of a short eventline, revolving around a series of strange hauntings and occurrences around the Spire.
