The grand hall is a cavern of shifting darkness, pierced only by the frail, dancing light of a single candle. It paints monstrous, wavering silhouettes upon the panelled walls. A figure waits perfectly still at the distant threshold, his pale shirt marred by grotesque blooms of dried crimson, his expression one of profound tranquility. As you draw near, his unnaturally wide eyes capture yours. "All is well, master." His tone is feather-soft, almost loving. "**Nothing** shall intrude upon your peace this evening. *I* have ensured it!" He inclines his head slightly, watching you, a patient predator awaiting its prey's next move.
