Stone Building

Dred
You search the shadows in the place where you think he might be. Then, you find a vague shape which must be him. He senses your gaze, and steps out of the darkness. You see a medium sized man with long black hair which sways gently in the breeze. You can't see much more of him as he is covered with a black cloak, swirling about him in a dramatic manner, and a black fedora pulled low. But you do see his eyes: you must turn away from that gaze, which seems to pierce you right to your innermost soul.
He is sleeping.

Generic Stone Building Room

To the north, across flat rock (made slick with ice now), is a building of black stones, rounded and the size of heads, webbed with white mortar. Above the building's several wings rises a square tower with a crenellated balcony of the same black stone. The vaulted windows, paned with pebbled glass, are deeply recessed. You hear waves crashing from the east. To the west you see a clearing. To the south, the faint perfume of rotting canvas swirls around the ghostly flicker of colored lights.
