A similar incident happened at my college my freshman year. I and some friends were tabletop gaming upstairs when we were asked to return to our rooms. No one was allowed in or out of the building. The hall directors were very strict about it, taking those who tried to break the rules down to be questioned. At the same time, out of the window, we could see the red and blue lights cascading on the side of the dorm building and uniformed men checking out the perimeter.
We were later told there was a bomb thread in our building...but we had not been evacuated because they were afraid it was a remote detonation bomb and that the remote was in the dorm...and as soon as they moved people out, it would explode.
Or at least I think that was their reasoning.
It was frightening, terribly so, also a tad exciting...but mostly just claustrophobic, knowing that if the police got it wrong and the trigger was outside, we were all in terrible, immobile danger.
It turned out to be nothing..but still left a nasty impression.
Glad things turned out alright for you, Paragon.
This PC has the Blight gnosis. As such, you as a player need to be aware of what that consists of. Wrenmae has an invisible aura that amplifies sickness and disease. Wounds may become infected, small sneezes may become coughing, and a slight fever may become more serious. A nuit's body will also break down faster in the presence of the Blight. These effects may not be immediate, but within the few days following your encounter, the symptoms will manifest. Some sooner than others. I cannot control your character, so creativity will be left up to you. Best wishes and stay healthy!
