The Falkovnian man known as the Midnight Raptor has been seen in recent days passing through the more dangerous and forlorn alleys of the slums, seemingly inquiring about the so-called Outlander Coalition. The heavily armored figure moved about with glowing blue orbs for eyes and a cold aura that has raised the hairs of some people's necks. Something did not seem quite right about this man and he declared he would crush any who opposed him or the Count of Barovia. He had boasted that he had slain dozens of Invidian soldiers and had slain Sir Cyrus James Gallant. He allegedly offered 'a reward' for those who aid him.

Late in the night, the horn of the Garda sounded from the Guardhouse within the Slums. For some time there were screams and the sounds of conflict, then followed by the frenzied sound of panicked footsteps and slammed doors. Come the morning a gentleman clad in green could be seen investigating the Guardhouse and bringing a gentleman wearing a black suit and hat from within, leaving him by the door briefly as he investigated inside. The doors were sealed shut until the Garda came to investigate; three dead Garda, attacked by tooth and claw lay dead inside, each with a white bedsheet laid over the bodies.

The past few nights has seen the Lightcarrier barovian/vistani mixed woman known as Lauel Martovich stalking the streets the past through nights. Alleyways are carefully looked over as she seems to be looking for something or someone. Abandoned homes are entered and searched while better in shape ones fixed up a bit so someone homeless could use it if they wanted.

Lauel though seems angry over something, word among those at Tigen's rest say she has come in as of late and drank deeply of strong spirits then left only to return hours later near dawn to do the same before either passing out there at the bar or stumbling back to the slums' temple. All before repeating the process over and over through Valiki come the evening and next night.

During one drunken moment at Tigan's one of the low life's there would overhear her muttering in balok about getting revenge on someone named Urzica.

The slums were rocked by several small explosions today. Any rushing to the scene would find the headless and charred corpse of a guard.

After almost two weeks of missing it would seem some male outlander has found and returned the remains of the lost light carrier Lauel Martovich. After a painful raising and donation to father illie the young half-vistani woman was returned to life to recover. A few days later she is seen seeking out to the local guards to ask to meet with Lance Corporal Rodica at her convenience.

From inside the Guard House there was a commotion that was heard from the nearby environs. The door was left open without signs of forced entry. Yet, a trail of blood could be seen leading out of it but whoever left was not seen.

The fiend known as the Midnight Raptor attacked in the afternoon just after a large contingent of guardsmen set off to their duties. An officer of the Citadel defied his aggressor and engaged the monster. He fell just as a dozen guardsmen arrived at the fray alongside good samaritans. After a brief, yet intense engagement, they drove Matthias Piltz into the Residential where he fled after sustaining serious injuries, cursing those who fended him off.

A local girl and another from the Arna clan from Kroffburg are seen cleaning out the hospice in the slums. New beds are brought in and the smell of cooking can be detected from within.

An Elderly man wanders the Slums district throughout the day with boxes full of foods, ranging from chicken and bread to Mariska's pies, bottles of wine and vegetables. Also found in these boxes are bundles of clothing, for both men and women as well as cloaks. The elderly gentlemen hobbles around from dawn till dusk knocking on doors and leaving these foods with the less fortunate and homeless.

Once again as the sun rises over the grey gloomy rooftops of Vallaki, an old robed man wanders through the downtrodden streets of the Slums leaving boxes of food and clothing to the unfortunate and poor, a second stop is the temple in the outskirts where he leaves upon a rug foods and bedrolls for those in need.

Making the usual journey through the Slums district, the robed man leaves boxes of food and clothing for the needy before making his
way to the temple in the outskirts, setting up food and bandages for any injured or hungry.

The old man makes his way through town once again, carrying his usual assortment of foods and clothing except this time he is accompanied by
Echo, as some know her, carrying many more boxes of food and clothing. The two make their way through the Slums district in the afternoon
offering the supplies to any who need them before ending the day at the temple in the outskirts with a bounty of rations and bandages for the
tired, hungry and injured travellers who may stop to rest there.

[As winter settles upon Vallaki turning the grey city to white the elderly man is seen on his route with two companions, a young lady with dark hair who is known as Echo and an elf with golden hair and fair bronze skin. Some may recognise him as Tuldur Fermakiir of Degannwy. The trio make their way throughout town purchasing foods before delivering them to houses within the Slums district. They end their journey at the temple within the outskirts where rations and bandages are laid out for any travellers needing them.]

//OOC, the trio deliver the foods.

[Something seems to be going around Vallaki's slums, accompanying winter's chill. Those passing through might note that more than a few men and women seem to be afflicted with some manner of foul sickness -- symptoms include, but are not limited to, the exposing of gums, the shrinking and drying of lips, severe coughing, and more. The Sanctuary of the Eternal Dawn in Vallaki's slums seems to be far busier than usual..]

  Two followers of the Morninglord were seen marching through the streets of the slums at night in hopes to discover more about this strange sickness. They spoke of the greater good and hope for a quick cure.

The Wayfarers appear to have employed a new domestic. A young, raven-haired Outlander busies herself with airing linens, beating rugs, sweeping dust and cobwebs, and wiping down the Lodge's windows. She most often wears a blue frock and a small smile of contentment.

[A bizarre and most curious state of affairs. The sickness that afflicted much of Vallaki's slums the past day or so seems to claim no more lives -- in fact, it seems to have passed through, or have abated. Dozens have perished as a result, but those who were dying have either died, or have been cured. Far more worrisome a trend is the inability of some, to find the remains of the fallen. They appear to have disappeared...]

During the night another Garda is killed, his body draped so that gore cascades down the city walls. Bloody paw prints lead up to a smashed entrance to the corner tower.

Morning reveals several figures--most of them Outlanders--moving on the wall and trying to tend to the deceased, only to be arrested by the Garda for their trouble. According to rumor, at least four are ordered to find and destroy the vampires terrorizing the city or be executed for their trespass of government property. The hastily called tribunal gives them only two weeks to comply.

"An Elderly time chiselled man happens upon the bodies of the fallen guardsmen 'to late', departing for safety he finds a lone
member of the citadel; a young man backed into a corner within the Slum's district. He doesn't speak nor move, a survivor perhaps?.
The elderly man stays with the garda till dawn arrives; the silence is only occasionally broken by the noise of puffs from his pipe,
as smoke escape the churchwarden styled pipe and fade into the darkened night, the two silent companions outlasting old noapte;
upon the arrival of dawn he departs for the Morninglord Temple for rest; Satisfied of his safety the doddery fellow then departs
himself."

Following an eventful day regarding a break-in by a local thug the Gaping Wound once again became the epicenter of trouble. Guards led by Corporal Rodica Stolojan entered the tavern followed by a local fat Borcan. Not long after, a garda's horn was heard across the Slums as a fight broke out within the seedy tavern. With the arrival of curious onlookers the bloodied Pochev Brothers Cezar and Dimitry were led by the garda back to the Citadel with two others following closely behind. Given the sordid reputation of the tavern it's hard to say what got the establishment in trouble this time.
