[news and the town]
[The Corinthian walks his old beat, through the dreams of the vulnerable. It's localized to Repose (of course, the lucky town of all misfortune through the decades of its existence). Some dreamers might have elusive, structured, or even fortified dreams through which this monster cannot stalk, but for the rest, he is the thing chasing you, the one that doesn't stop, the one you can't see but can feel on your heels and at the back of your neck. Dreamers flee before him, fall into his traps, drop down through an empty blackness without bottom, or run without being able to stop.
It is just a nightmare, of course, just a creature in the dark, and has no physical effect other than a lingering sense of disquiet, dispelled early by the light of dawn.]
