On the same night that she left her prank for the Scathachians to blunder upon, so too did she not forget the governor. The governor who had made it a priority to stop the WestEnd Murders and the Nightly Disappearances. Such a thing had to be greatly discouraged. After all, who could dare continue a course of action when their probable safety has been breached and directly threatened? An ultamatum was to be given.

Dracina plowed in through the window of the governor's office with the headless body of the merchant whose blood she drank in full, glass shattering inward. Now, like the city watchman of last month, the merchant would become a message to the government and city of RhyDin. Dracina looked around the dark room swiftly, and then dropped the headless body on the floor. She'd have to work quickly, as that glass surely would have alerted someone.

She began moving with incredible speed as she sliced open the dead merchant's belly with a knife. Promptly, she pulled out the dried large and smaller intestine, and began to work on her message to the governor. The horrors this night would cause much confusion and second guessing as to what precisely was going on during the dark hours of Rhy'Din.

At morning, the governor would find the bloodless, headless body hanging tied and suspended in a corner of the room by his guts. In fact, the image would invoke the sense of a fly caught in a web, as the intestine had been cut and tied together in a web design that had been nailed to several areas of the wall. On the wall to the right of the corner, written in human blood, possibly the body's, was a message.

"In his attempts to get a - head in life, he weaved a web so wide that it ensnared him."

On the floor, below the message, was a small pool of blood. No one who investigated the scene would know that this pool meant Dracina had to regurgitate some of the man's blood to write the message.

Apparently the woman didn't notice the wards that had been placed on the building that would alert her to people coming and going. She had been patrolling the west end's docks and then felt the tug.

She gave out a sigh and directed herself to the office. Once there, she found the broken window...and then the body.

Her nostrils flared to catch a scent. Undead. That was about all she got. The scent of the dead man hanging from her wall overwhelmed the rest of it. She was highly displeased, but what could she do'

The only thing she could do. Have the mess cleaned up and continue on with things as she always did. Once morning came she had the body taken down from it's hanging place and sent to the morgue. Then she had the repairmen come and fix the window.

But then...she had the office warded in a different manner. She gave explicit instructions to the mages and priests that nobody would be able to enter the office at night except for herself. And those with ill-intent would find themselves unable to even come near the place unless they were explicitly invited.

She would not be intimidated by an unseen force.

The Chicken Avenger looked over the invoices from the repairmen, the undertaker and the security firm they used to provide the wards on the building. Something did not add up here. Why was the undertaker charging a re-animation fee of 100 crowns? And why was the bill for the window glass six times the annual budget of your average third world nation' The only people who seemed to be on the up and up were the people who provided the wards.

Gathering the invoices the chicken starts in on a memo

To Whom it may concern,

Due to the recent rash of vandalism at the office, and the astronomical bill for the associated repairs, we will now be preforming strict contract reviews of all subcontractors BEFORE any work is authorized. Any contract containing the words "Re-animation", "Special Circumstance Surcharge", and/or "Just Because" will henceforth be considered null and void.

Also I propose the levying of fines for convicted vandals equal to three times the billed costs of the repairs, with the surplus going to the Old Temple restoration fund.

Oh and Kitty, I raised the interior decorating budget so you can replace the carpeting, bloodstains are just not conductive to civil discourse in an elected officials office. We have to make a good impression you know.
