On the other side of the castle, away from Silver Eve, a few witches plot in a jail cell. A wizened old man draws many glyphs on a young man and promises that he will turn into an ooze and be able to escape this cell. What he fails to tell him is that there is a horrifying leech guarding the outside of the castle walls, and the man fuses with the leech to create a large monster that invades the castle town during the festivities. The Knights are deployed but have a difficult time fighting the many arms of the monster, and most witches cannot figure out what type of monster they’re fighting. As the giant leech feeds on blood, it grows stronger and covers more of the city, seeking out even more victims.
