Jacob's known about Livius Decimus' gang, and the other, smaller gangs of Ephes, since the early days of their stay in the city. He knows of their favourite water hole too, but he's not had reason to darken the door.
Yet.
This is a perfect excuse and with the rumours of the lists Decimus has, no doubt they've got more work on their hands than enough. What better way to get a look at those lists than stepping in and offering to help scratch some names off?
Not that he's actually about to. Probably.
He pulls his cloak off his head and pushes open the tavern door, heading inside.
THE RATTLING
OPTION 1- RHINO FIGHT Jacob hasn't ever fought something like this before. He's heard about animals like this, great armoured, horned beasts with tempers worse than any brutish drunk. The proof is evident as, spurred on by its rider, the giant rhinoceros turns and runs at him, the ground trembling with each heavy fall of its massive feet.
He curses and dives out of the way, tumbling behind the debris of a column that's already been knocked down. Wildly looking around for something to defend himself with, he sees a spear- and across the way, someone else in the path of the beast.
"Run!"
OPTION 2- CHAOS TIME The black ooze moves like fog rolling off the Thames, thick and dark. Not unlike the water as it passes under the bridges at midnight, and just as deadly. Those who feel caught up by it seem to... fade, as the shadows take on their form. It's terrifying.
And it's all he can do to grab someone as they run and haul them away, faster as lurching footsteps of the fallen begin to catch up.
