[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.[/i]
[b]The Story so far:[/b]
[i]Eva, the Bunkman couple, Etana, Phantom, and Chelovek have arrived in Ensmooth. Several of them have roomed at local innkeeper Burris Gilby's boarding house, while Etana and Chelovek have set off for the north side of town and the three canning and salting factories owned by Roger Albertin, the area's Mafia chief.[/i]
English
-
Jaque searches one factory as Jade searches the other.
-
You find nothing, and decide to try to get a room at the boarding house in town. After all, it's getting late.
-
As Jade and Jaque get they're room, Jaque could not understand what dark presence he feels in the inn but he goes with it anyways.
-
As Burris Gilby, the innkeeper, stumps by on his cane, he sticks his head inside the open door. [i]You young folk should be abed by now. Don't ye worry, I'll keep the watch. Goodnight![/i] The innkeeper chalks a small sign on each door he passes. The symbol resembles an eye surrounded by a star, and when you close the door, you feel the presence recede, as if the symbol is warding it off.
-
Jaque waits for night to fall and sneaks out of the room to investigate that presence while having Jade stay in the hotel room.

-

[b]*Chelovek walks into the factory*[/b]
-
You see that the factory is closed, but it seems to be a bright spot in a dead town. The work areas are clean and well-lit, there are multiple medical stations close to the equipment, and the more dangerous-looking tasks are diverted to remotely-controlled robot arms. However there is no sign of Albertin. Suddenly, you hear footsteps from the other side of the factory.
-
[b]*Chelovek looks over to the other side. He places his hand on his handgun, but doesn't pull it out. Yet.*[/b]
-
Another man, also searching through the factory, is standing a few dozen feet away. He is oblivious to your prescence. ((BTW the guy is Etana.))
-
[spoiler]I don't think anybody else is on[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Neither do I, but he's in the factory too. So I figured I'd find a way to get you two to run into each other.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]im on.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]K.[/spoiler] As you venture through the factory, you hear footsteps directly behind you.
-
[b]*Chelovek yells at you*[/b] Hey! You there! Who are you?
-
[b]He aims a gun at you and yells back[/b] "Who are you?"
-
[b]*Puts hands up*[/b] Me? You can call me Chelovek.
