"WHO'S THERE?" grunted the voice sternly and slowly limped its way towards the light.

When the creature finally revealed itself in the light from the candle near the alchemical equipment, the two Investigators became truly aware of what horrors their future assignment would have in store for them. The creature looked like a grotesque mockery of something that perhaps once could have been regarded as human. His head was roughly the shape of that of a dog's head, although somewhat more... rotten... and decomposed. More like fragile muscles stretched over too much bone. Black shrouds hid the remainder of his big lump of a body, but couldn't contain the secret of the long and deadly claws attached to his bony fingers. Uneven fangs stuck out from between his jaws and the remains of consumed flesh still clutched itself in between the gaps. In two sinewy sockets a pair of wide open, white-yellowish eyes peered out from beneath the shadows of his hood, gazing frantically around his enviroments in search for anything out of the ordinary.

This was indeed Marandus Carmiro ... or rather what was left of him...

The robe figure lumbered about along the shelves. There was plenty of spaces for the Investigators to hide, but they needed to act quickly. Although the creature seemed to be slow, there was no telling of how he could react if he were to spot them.

The alchemist cocked his head, his eyes rolling about as if he listened instensively. A wide, nerve-shattering grin appeared on his beastial face. "YOU ARE HERE, AREN'T YOU?" he said with a mischievous tone. "I WILL FIND YOU... NO ONE HIDES FROM CARMIRO... NO ONE..."

Vemirius nodded and crept up to the cabin door. He felt its handle. It was unlocked. He slid the door open as slowly and silently as he could, motioning for the Investigators to come along as Fabricius' light spread visibility over the area.
