If the creature was hunting you personally, the ringing would be the sound of loud bells. I think there's something neat there. Maybe this:<br /><br />When a schism split the church of High Morduria into the Falzetti, Barucha, and sundry minor factions, war wracked the city. In the slums, countless poor crowded into the catacombs beneath the chapel of Saint Venestris the plentiful in an effort to hide from the blooshed; Vanestris' clergy had no stake in the fighting between the Falzetti and Barucha factions, each of which was backed by nobles and had access to real soldiers. When the Falzetti gained the upper hand, their noble backers took the opportunity to rid the city of its poor once and for all, and had their armies raze the slums, trapping the poor below ground,where they starved to death by the thousand, unable to dig their way out.<br /><br />After crushing the Barucha and bringing the minor factions to heel, the Falzetti Primate, now head of the church, ordered the ruins of the slums cleared to make way for a new basilica— unfortunately for him, his workers disturbed the ruin of the chapel of Saint Venestris. A gashadokuro rose out of the rubble, the ragged steeple of the church embedded in its back. It slaughtered the workers and began stalking the city. Now the sound of cracked church bells in the night signals that the creature known as the Parish of Venestris is abroad in the darkened streets, and any nobleman or Falzetti sympathizer it finds is in terrible danger. It seems to ingore the minor factions and the crushed remains of the Barucha, and the nobles, taking note, are preparing to take reprisals.Connor Hubbard-MacLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02386675050129504511noreply@blogger.com
