Meshtak the Draga had returned to Generica. Mother, too busy with her own troubles (dealing with Father Lucas, etc.) to handle it personally, sends a tiny portion of magical energy into the harbor, where deep down in the muck, a being is awoken. A bum on the dock, drinking a pint of Black Demon rum (tm), looks up from his customary position in the garbage to see a creature climb up onto the dock. It is large, almost seven feet tall, and its skin is a mass of points and spikes. It has no recognizable face, only two glowing eyes and a mouth overflowing with sharp, black teeth. It lurches along, a being with a purpose, and the bum, gaping in shock and unable to move, watches it shamble by, and hears it muttering in a less than human voice. "Killll......killl Messhhtakkk...." It lurches in the direction of the Dragon's pub. -- "You can't help that.
