The majority of trade passing up through the Brandins and stopping off at Sellaville had ceased for the evening. A skeleton watch (not literally) stood guard, keeping an eye on the relative trickle of carts that passed under the southern gate at this hour.

What was typically billed as an easy watch was interrupted when a single figure dressed in.... white? robes came staggering up out of the darkness. The question mark on the white was the blood that had been splattered all over them, blending with the red cross of St Michael emblazoned across their front.

The guards rushed to help, and cradled the dying person in their arms as their life passed away. However, they could make out a few words from the ruined throat, presumed destroyed by screaming. Words like... eyes... teeth... hate...

In the morning a patrol was sent south to see if they could find the source of this unfortunate victim. It was not long before they came across a small rural church to St Michael, one they had passed many a time, only... now there was an eerie silence.

Cautiously entering, the front two persons had to turn immediately out, vomiting the contents of their breakfast over the neat lawn. The others caught the back end of the scent, gore and excrement, rotting already in the blistering heat, clearly scorching the church through the gaping hole in the roof that was now apparent on the south side.

Later in the day, the church was visited by a group of three white robed folk, who bore startling resemblance to Melnibanions. The guards let them pass, and they entered the scene of Ruin.
