Miri's House of Rats and Skeletons

Arron notes the noise moving around, and starts to chant.
"Age before beauty, they say;
And I see no beauty here.
I shall make time pay,
And make beauty flee."

When he finishes the chant, a burst of entropy spreads from him, settling over other living creatures in the attic. It ages them quickly, months passing in minutes. It only lasts for about ten minutes, but rats are short-lived.

Sekhmet's Cabin

The phone rings! Ring, ring! And it's Samantha's number. Prumathe's gone out, fetching some shopping. I'm not sure if there's a honeymoon, but they have some time off at least. Pontius wouldn't have it any other way.

"Hi, it's about Nocri. She was at your wedding, right? I saw here there. Her apartment's up for rent, and her landlady says she disappeared when all those deergirls started prancing about. The times don't work, someone's messed with her memory and stolen her stuff. It's the Godfather, I'm sure of it. Oh, I don't know what to do about it all." Samantha sounds quite desperate.
