It was an ordinary day when Nerz'hul, a member of Excess Sin collective
poped in to check upon his hired vendors.
It's hard to find a trustfull merchant these days, but the current couple
seemed ok. Especially since they were around to see what happened to
their predecessor who tried to run off with the goods. Even the slaves
Anamalech and Belphegor to who the task of dispersing body parts
throughout the public places was given, had trouble remembering the
actual number of town squares involved.
It was immediately obvious that the lock of a main door was tampered
with. After reflecting for a second and grinning maliciously Nerz'hul barged
inside with reveal and paralyze spells ready. His senses haven't failed him
again. A small, dirty man wearing only short pants cried out in surprise
while droping to the ground evidently able to do nothing, but moan and
curse. "Just a simple street thief", - Nerz'hul muttered. "Nobody's gonna
miss the poor bastard". And after a second, "A good opportunity for some
experimentation then".
Although for that Nerz'hul had to wait for the night. The area had too
much traffic during daylight hours and he didn't want to be disturbed by
passersby concerned with screams coming out of the place. The devices
and spells he was going to test out on the poor shmuck needed high
concentration and constant attention. Knocks on the door and stupid
questions wouldn't be helping that.

A little before dawn, tired yet amused and smug Nerz'hul dragged the
remains of a corpse on the roof and tossed them into a peted maneating
hamsters' pen. Those delivered quite a spectacle at breakfast table to him
and recently returned from the night hunt Inverni Lecto. The particular
breed of maneating hamsters always had a series of fights to determine
the eating order prior to devouring their prey. Even greater fun is when
the game is still alive and forced to lay still and watch with few hamsters
ready to bite through it's throat.
Getting ready to go out for a day Inverni Lecto asked, "Think we ought to
leave those bones scattered like that? It might stink up the place".
"Don't worry, those will be polished white by the evening. Plus, it'll make
a good reminder for other scum not to mess around", Nerz'hul grinned
wickedly.
i enjoyed that.
