Day 1 Night

[12npcs]

[ Over the murmur of conversations, explorations and violent attempts at escape, there comes a sound tick tick tick tick tick.............. CLICK.... The sky above snaps across the dome from blue to black... and everything goes dark.

A glow comes from the front door of each of the inns and one by one, you can see street lanterns begin to light up steadily past each of the gates.

The only flickering, organic light comes from above in the tower, spluttering high, high above everyone, through the slats of the closed shutters. After a moment, it's gone. ]

[Looks over to and comes to lean against the wall next to Chrysos, glancing at the sign over the inn]

And an inn to boot. Something sure doesn't want us to leave.

That something would be some other besides that old man, then.

Did you get a chance to explore much of it?

This "town"? Not yet.

I was talking about the tower, too. There seems to be an excess of places to stay. Four inns on top of individual rooms for us...

[devotedtothecore]

The tower has been locked fast since the old man retreated into it. Assaulting it seems fruitless, given what happened to...

[ ...that...armored man whose name he doesn't even know yet. Grunts irritably. You know who I'm talking about. ]
