Chaos in the Shadows, Blood on the LA streets Options

The Call.

For weeks, something was messing with the Call. Something demanded that you wait to answer it. Wait, it asked. Just a little longer, it cajoled. All the while, the Call rose, screaming through the Cobweb, demanding obedience. Come, the Call shrieked. Wait, the interferance begged.

Suddenly, just as it became unbearable, just as the conflict threatened to tear the Cobweb assunder, there was peace. The fight ended. Come, the Call demanded. Yes, the interferance whispered, It is time.

Los Angeles. The City of lost angels. And global chaos central, lately. Things have been pretty freakin' crazy, and that's saying a lot, considering who's doing the thinking.

Your travels have lead you to the Hollywood hills. There, amongst the trees, lie the still-warm remains of a mansion-turned-asylum. The ruins still leave enough standing for you to tell that this was once a truly magnificent mansion, with great towers and massive rooms. But now, there is nothing left of it's old magnificence. A fire has gutted the mansion, leaving it a twisted pile of stone and metal and ash.

It was this hellish scene that the Call lead you to. As your explorations begin, your eyes are inexorably drawn to the top of the lone remaining tower, just in time to see a figure slip over the side and plummet to the ground, just beyond your line of sight.
