Just last evening, Tykel Rone, the Landing's prominent weaponsmith, was found shouting for help outside of his shop. Local heroes and citizens came to his aid, where he informed them that his niece, Kalie, was missing. She had just visited her uncle inside his shop and expressed her desire to go watch the falling snow, when moments later Tykel heard her scream from outside. The old weaponsmith grabbed his axe and charged into the street, but there was no sign of her anywhere.

Tykel went to go report the incident to the local officials, while dozens of adventurers broke into search parties and scoured the town and surroundings for the missing girl. Outside of town, bandits attacked townspeople in the forest but were quickly dispatched. The search continued for over an hour until a storm rolled in with black clouds accompanied by crimson lightning. A bolt of red lightning struck the mine road near Wehnimer's Landing, shaking the ground for miles before another bone pillar rose up out of the dirt. Fearing that Tykel's niece was the latest victim of the summoners, the old weaponsmith was informed of the pillar's appearance and tried feverishly to cut it down before collapsing into a sobbing fit. Tykel promised retribution and went back to town to mourn.

This afternoon, Iron Jack was seen loading up a wagon full of supplies. "The fourth pillar is here. We all know what it means, five fingers in a hand. We're doomed. That lass that went missing, yeah, she had dark hair, but she had blue eyes, not green. No one's safe anymore. I ain't leaving town yet, but I'm going to be damn well sure I'm ready when that moment comes. I'd suggest you do the same."

The interim mayor and town council were not available for comment.
