[b]THE OVERHANGING SHADOW: A WORLD EVENT.[/b]
[u]LOCATION: Ensmooth, a relatively forgotten town on the coast of Paranorm.[/u]
[i]Ensmooth (pronounced Ens-mooth, not In-smooth) is a large, yet mainly derelict fishing town. Its citizens are wary of outsiders, and many share a similar countenance, dubbed "the look", wherein their slightly bulging eyes and oddly pale skin seem unfailingly hostile to all and sundry. There have been a string of disappearances in the town, both locals and outsiders. It came to the Mafia's attention after one of their local chiefs, who ran a salt production factory in the town, disappeared suddenly. They're looking for a team to hunt after their inside man. It's recommended any Hunters that take the job avoid traveling together or being seen publicly together, so as to avoid drawing suspicion. Whatever you find may haunt you, but the riches promised are too great to resist. If you take the job, you'll depart by train tomorrow for Ensmooth.[/i]

Edited by EvoTymes: 8/9/2015 6:03:21 PM[b]Etana arrives in the town.[/b] "Alright let's get this started."
-
You see a dilapidated, but brightly lit inn up ahead. It advertises itself as [i]Gilby's Boarding and Lodge.[/i]
-
[b]He approaches the inn cautiously.[/b]
-
The place is brightly lit. The clink of tables and glasses, as well as music and laughter, come from the dining room. The front desk is empty. It seems like the attendant is busy.
-
"Hmmm" [b]He sits on an empty table and wait for the attendant to come back. [/b]
-
The attendant returns, but is soon engaged with a young woman who's recently arrived.
-
[b]He gets up and walks over there and waits for the woman to stop talking to the attendant. [/b]
-
The attendant directs the woman to her room, then returns. [i]Will you be looking for a room as well, sir?[/i]

Edited by EvoTymes: 8/9/2015 7:14:36 PM"Not at the moment but do you have any information about the man from the salt factory's disappearance?"
-
[i]I say, sir, though t'aint my place, that you're the third to come after Mr. Albertin. What d'ye want with him?[/i]
-
"I want to know how and why he disappeared."
-
[i]Nobody knows, sir. He was a powerful good man. Never smoked, only drank small, and was awful good to me and mine. Three factories he owned out of here, and he gave gifts to all and sundry on the holidays. Chased out the lawbreakers, too. Odd thing is, the constabulary can't do for much in finding him. Not a shred of paper or of anything that could be found. Just up and gone.[/i]
-
"Really? Can you tell me where the factory he was mostly at?"
-
[i]S'up on the north side. Just told another gentleman the same. Will you want some refreshment, as you're going?[/i]
-
"No thank you but thanks for the information. I appreciate it." [b]He leaves him a tip and heads north.[/b]
