When all were resting Jody still concerned over the disturbance she felt in space and time went out to the veranda and in a ripple of muscle and crackling of bone, grey fur appeared and she shifted to wolf form. Then with a mournful howl she pads off deep in the bayou to investigate what happened. Picking her way carefully she avoids all the usual dangers of the swamp, then suddenly she sniffs the air a strong scent of ozone reaches her keen nose. Going a bit further she sees broken trees, trampled vegetation as well as dead wildlife. Jody follows the trail of animal carcasses and trampled vegetation for a bit then spies two dead fishermen lying in a skiff. Shifting back to vampire form, she reaches down in herself and the blue aura appears around her and she transports herself to The Library. Slipping in the door she greets the woman at the desk, then goes to an attendant, clad in black robes getting direction to the section on portals. Finding an ancient tome on the subject she sits at a table reading. Now coonvinced something has come or came through a portal she shifts space returns home,drinks several goblets of blood regaining her strength and rests.
The next night she again shifts to her wolf form goes into the bayou still tracking the entity whatever it may be finding more dead animals, she notices the trail has turned to New Orleans itself. Jody follows along quickly, then suddenly almost blunders into a black shape with burning green eyes The thing looks and opens its gaping maw and Jody feels a strong compulsion to go into it actually moving a few steps toward the entity before regaling her will and fighting the urge off. Running away to safety then shifting back and flying home to safety. Once there she again drinks blood and bends space returning to The Library. Going to the section on Demonology she gets a volume covered in human skin going through it till she fi D's a drawing of the entity she encountered " Bilal The Eater of Souls" reading on she discovers it feeds on the life force of any living thing. With a worried look she bends space returning home weary from all this as it drains her horribly looking pale and drawn she drinks again awaiting the others to inform them of the news and decide on a course of action.
