[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]

Jaque and Jade enter the town. They seem like an ordinary couple but the towns peoples eyes glare into Jaques mind, this time the whispers in his head are more and more clear as they come. The voices warn Jaque not to stare into they're eyes. He whispers to Jade, "Don't look in they're eyes." Jade nods in agreement. and they continue to look for clues.

The townspeople of Ensmooth eye the newcomers. As they walk further into town, they pass a large, imposing building in green marble. Etched across its facade in gold are these words: [b]Meeting Lodge of the Dagonic Rite.[/b] Up ahead is an inn with a battered sign, advertising itself as [i]Gilby's Board and Lodging.[/i]
-
The pair investigate the green marble building

A strange force seems to keep you away from the building. A sharp sense of dread builds painfully as you approach, and the building seems to recede the closer you get, as if it cannot be touched.
