[RE] when suddenly there came a tapping

It is soft, at first, the telltale knocks that vibrate against the guildhall’s mighty doors. Enough that some might miss it, or at the very least dismiss it as an animal’s movements or the shifting of foundations in the house. Is it quiet by choice? Is it trying to lure? Or is the stranger at the door afraid to make further noise? Worry not - you’ll know soon enough. A sharp thud interrupts the gentle staccato, and suddenly the knocking becomes a pounding, a desperate hammering for entry. A hoarse voice begins to scream; senseless and sad and weak, it cannot take much more of this. LONGNIGHT
