Log
Children and adults were going missing over in Rommack, and Spirit Night was upon us. According to Hiromi ancestor spirits were out and about, but none were hostile. All the rest of us could do was watch the streets and hope to catch a glimpse of whatever was taking people. Serene noticed one child leading another toward an alleyway and called them over. At the same time Clam's patrol led them through a group of people, the group transforming into a faceless horde that began clawing at them. As most of us hurried to help with that, Grist put up a wall between him, Serene, and the horde. The horde had nowhere to go but past the majority of us.
At the same time, one of the children and a nearby man on the other side of the wall transformed. They became faceless creatures carrying cleavers and the faces of what they were imitating, tragically enough. Grist and Serene fought those for the time being, as the crowds around us fled from the scene. The horde apparently had the ability to shift planes despite not being spirits, as my ghost-touch weapon did not strike them during this time, but Hiromi could still see them with her spirit sense. Miles went around the wall to help Serene and Grist while the rest of us kept working against the horde, with myself stepping in to draw some attention.
The other side of the wall didn't have much issue, and nor did we, aside from the plane shifting. As we waited for it to reappear, Hiromi informed us that it was fleeing while still on the ethereal plane. Most of us had no tools to handle that, but thankfully Hiromi was able to finish it off with a spirit blast. The danger to Rommack was handled, at least for the time being.
