A grotesque scene welcomed travelers departing or arriving from the Quartier Marchand. As daylight broke over the port city, a scene of violence was revealed.
A human body was pinned to the Port's noticeboards by his right hand, dangling limply by a mundane dagger wedged tightly into the wood. The clothes were drenched in thick, fresh blood, while the body itself appeared ancient-- withered and decayed. Most notably, however, was the violent burning of the face. The victim was largely unrecognizable, wielding fleshy remnants and pieces of skin with thickly coagulated blood drooping from what used to be ridgelines of the jaw and brow. Written presumably in the man's blood on the message board above him are the words, "The Grey Hag must confess for her crimes."
Each of the man's wrists were severely broken and twisted, even the hand that was unattached to the signpost, suggesting potential abuse before death.
Even with the gross disfigurations, a more thorough inspection would reveal a telltale pair of fang-marks on the base of his neck.
