A New Morzelmore

Melocia sat quietly listening to the ghost in the hall and the pigeons roosting in the beams of the roof. Earlier Today she had stormed into the goverment building and pleaded with Lord Vallarios to let her buy and apartment. Zaphro and he came up with a plan to give her a whole building. She was thrilled. Then she looked at it. Most of the support collums had collapsed, The roof had holes in it. Pigeons roosted in the rafters. and there was the Ghost maiden.

When Zaphro an her walked the building they met her. An elf woman who asked for her sister. Zaphro quickly moved away and coward in the corner. Melocia spoke a complicated incantation and stepped into the border ethereal so she could communicate with the ghost on even ground. What she found out horrified her.

The Ghost woman had called a demon for some unknown reason and he escaped her protections. What happened next the ghost couldnt remember other than that the demon still had her arm in his lair and that he may have taken her sister too. The ghost also told her that if she cleaned all the dust and took it out the ghost would be able to wonder the world since her dust was mixed in with all the build up in the ruined building.

Melocia sighed. She had heard of a Demon that took womans souls recently and knew there was one familiar with the tale out there somewhere. It seems the sister may have also been taken by the demon but in the least she needed to find the arm to fully free the ghost.

There were other problems the building was very close to both the gambling hall and the sauruses other places of business. She had bought the place for only 5,000 gold but Tilsaurus was sure to be around quickly to bleed mel of her gold. Lord Vallarios specifically told her she was to pay her building tax to Zaphro not tilsauraus but that tilsauraus could put personal taxes on her and her renters.........and there was that shes stated in the contract as being the landlady which means shes responsible for the building and collecting rent. She sighed harder, If it meant that she would bring dragonkin and demi-humans into a more suitable relationship so be it.

A demons lair to find, ashes to bring to the gates of arvandor, fending off the " gambling hall people", and rebuilding this shell was a daunting task. She flicked a stone across the room, got up and started sweeping carefully and slowly.
