1.1 Madness and Prophecy

As the bartender pulls the woman inside the bar, Myrneth the wild eyed old man pushes past you all with a crazed expression and charges off into the mists as the bartender claws frantically at his empty robes in an attempt to keep him inside the Inn.

Xanxus is not the first to make the mistake of thinking that Myrneth's physical person reaches the edge of his robes. As Xanxus grabs at Myrneth, he realises that he has nothing but a fistful of cloth, which is wrenched from his grasp as Myrneth surges forwards with surprising strength yelling:
He dashes into the night and the mists, beckoning you all to follow.

Anyone else following Haguk into the mist?

As you step out into the mists, you temporarily lose sight of one another before gathering your bearings. You can hear the footsteps of Myrneth receding into the mists of what was previously the town square ahead. As you press forward into the mist you hear a different sound. Like footsteps but where the feet don't leave the ground between steps. A slight groan grabs your attention as a ragged man appears out of the mist, his eyes both dead and malevolent at the same time.

Ragged man - initiative

'Thing' or 'Ragged Man' is nearby, so everyone can get to him in a single move. He lumbers forward out of the mist, tilts his head back and unleashes a stream of frozen mist from his mouth, direct at Elke.

A icy blast of misty breath flies past Elke's left ear and over her shoulder. The ragged man scowls in disgust and tendrils of mist drift from his sunken eye sockets. Elke takes a second to look herself over and is amazed to find there's not a mark on her.
