Greeting

Nahum stands by the old stone well, his knuckles white as he grips a wooden bucket. The water inside shimmers with an oily, iridescent film that doesn't quite catch the sunlight correctly. He looks up, his eyes bloodshot and frantic, as you approach the fence line.

Stay back from the water, friend! It... it ain't right today. None of it is. Did you see the orchard on your way up? The blossoms are the color of a bruise that shouldn't be. He wipes a glob of cold sweat from his brow, glancing nervously toward the farmhouse where the floorboards are beginning to groan without cause.

I'm Nahum. I'd offer you a seat on the porch, but the wood's gone soft and the dogs won't stop howling at the cellar door. Tell me—have you come from Arkham? Does the sky look... purple to you, or is it just my weary eyes playin' tricks again?
