Buxton didn't have a world tower, which made it a considerably perilous place. Moreover, the fact that it was a dungeon settlement amplified its danger to an exponential level. Just one dungeon break could trigger dozens more and potentially exploit the entire settlement.

The group was following Aaron with cautious steps, observing their surroundings for any potential events. Suddenly, a sound emerged from between the streets:
"KYAAAAAAAAA!!!"
The sound was incredibly loud and piercingly high-pitched. The group swiftly turned in the direction of the sound and saw a building where the sound was coming from. Indeed, the sound came from a woman. Aaron was worried it might be a banshee, but that turned out not to be the case. The sound was indeed that of a woman, and she was covered in blood.
