"So that's what Mr. big and nasty's name is, Teiwaz..."
Snuffy sits down on the floor next to the injured private so he can keep their conversation quiet. "Did Teiwaz give you any idea of where to hunt this hound? And why we need to hunt it?"
"The hound is pure evil. I gave my arm to capture it before, now it returns!" Seers grows loud, ajatated and begins to rise.
Unsure whether to believe the poor guy or to take it for the ramblings of a Soldier whose wounds did not only cost him his physical health, Andrew nevertheless came closer during the conversation, hoping that a look into his face might somehow bring light to the darkness of his indecision. Now he gently puts a hand on the wounded mans chest,, keeping him down.
We hear you just fine if you stay down. Allow your body to rest.
The soldier's eyes are covered, injured in the blast that ended him here in the hospital.
"Who's that who's there?" the man's voice returns to a weak weaze as he returns to his bed.

"It's your pal Snuffy. Remember me? Don't worry bout no hound, we'll take care of it for you."
"Snuffy... I had the weirdest dream... I never knew I could swing a sword..."
"Me too buddy, me too.
"Come on pal, tell Snuffy about your dream and about Teiwaz."
In case Steers doesn't want to talk about it, Snuffy will try to persuade him.
"Snuffy? Snuffy never does any work!" he says almost to himself.
"Bwahahaha, he's got yer card, Snuff!",Hazzard burst out in a fit of laughter.
"Bwahahaha, he's got yer card, Snuff!",Hazzard burst out in a fit of laughter.
"Aw, come on Sarge. This here is a long war so a mans got to save his strength."
Not getting any information from Steers, Snuffy gets up and wanders around the cathedral looking for anything that would shed a light on either Teiwaz or a giant hound.
Snuffy overhears someone else dreampt about loosing a fight with a large man who called himself Teiwaz a few nights ago.

Snuffy reports on what he heard back to the group. "So do we just wait for nightfall to see if mister Teiwaz shows up again?"
The day is long and uneventfull mealtimes come and go. Volenteers bring food and check your wounds, changing dressings when needed.
When it comes to night you are all understandingly hesitant to get to sleep. You find this is for the best as the night is far from uneventful!
However eventful the night will become, Andrew is not the first to take note of it...
Looks like Christel is particularly alert tonight.
As it nears midnight you all realise that the church has become strangely quiet. There is no-one calling out in their sleep, no sound of wind passing the windows or trees blowing around. When realise you also notice that there is not even anyone snoring.
Snuffy opens his mouth to alert the others but is unable to make a sound. A brief moment of panic ensues as Snuffy struggles to regain his will to speak.
Snuffy closes his eyes tightly as he concentrates as hard as he can...
"Guys...look..." Snuffy says with great difficulty in a wheezing voice as he points at the unnatural shadow.
Christel wakens with a start and says something, words that come out only as a wheezing cough. Realizing that she cannot hear even the sound of her own voice, panic sets in and she screams. But even that sound is but a muted wail, a low moaning like that of the wind.
What is it Paling at the meager sound his voice leaves And what on earth has happened
The Shadow moves away from one bed and slowly accross the church. The bed it leaves behind is empty.
Christel is terrified and shrinks beneath the covers, holding them up to her face so that only her eyes and the top of her head can be seen.
What the... Andrew stands up and approaches the empty bed, his eyes following the apparation that Snuffy pointed out to him.
Surprising himself even, Snuffy decides to follow the Shadow.

The covers seem to be thrown asside in a hastey fashion. There are some small personal effects under the bed.
Surprising himself even, Snuffy decides to follow the Shadow.
The shadow moves swiftly away from Snuffy, moving towards another shadow that you notice in the northern end of the church.
Snuffy continues to follow trying to figure out what the shadows are and what they are up to.
The two shadows push towards the door.
What in the world is going on?
You notice that where the second shadow moved from there is another empty bed with the sheets tossed aside
Snuffy stops when he sees the second empty bed. Oh, this seems bad. Thinking quickly he grabs the nearest bedpan and throws it in the direction of the shadows trying to bring everyone's attention to what's happening.
Andrew looks closer at the bed and the personal affects there, hoping that he will just find whoever lay there will just return and give him a hard time for going through his stuff...

You find some generic bits from GI kit including a pair of boots.
Throw: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1
Wild: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2
The bedpan sails wide as two shadows move outside. It makes precious little noise as it hit's the ground.
When your eyes follow th shaddows you don't think you saw them open the door to leave. Was it open before?

Snuffy shakes his head in confusion. Maybe, I should ask to go back to my unit. Snuffy thinks as he wanders back to his bunk kicking the bedpan as he goes.
Snuffy pauses as he thinks he may have noticed something.
Steers is no-longer in his bed as you return. The others don't seem to have noticed.
Assuming Snuffy has recovered his ability to speak normally he begins to yell at the top of his lungs "STEERS IS MISSING!!! WHERE'S STEERS"
If he can't yell, Snuffy begins banging two bed pans together to attract attention to the missing man's bunk.
