SUDDENLY!

From strange contraptions in the ceiling all over the city, the voice of the mayor could be heard. He sounded nervous, if anything...

"Ehrm... A-attention everyone... There has been..." He drew for breath as if he struggled to find the right words. "There has been an incident in which... in which a Beast was involved. Two brave Beast Slayers encountered the creature just south of here and from their reports the... the attempts to delay the Beast yielded no successful result..."

There was a long moment of silence after this.

"So... The Beast has set its direction for Kilkreath and from what I have heard there has been no change in its movement patterns. An attack is imminent and very likely to follow."

The customers at the inn looked around at each other anxiously, wondering if this was some sort of joke. If so, they would be very glad if the mayor's voice claimed so. But nothing happened.

"I need... I need every available guard, fighter and volunteer to man the city walls", he said. "This is not a drill. I repeat that this is not a drill. Grab every range weapon you can get your hands on and assemble along the city walls for further instructions from the Beast Slayers. Every citizen who can not handle a weapon and who lives on the surface, I hereby issue the order of total evacuation to the lower caverns. With immediate effect."

Then there was silence again.

"So... Good luck! And may the Gods be with us..."

As soon as the voice fell silent, panic ensued...
