Spire City: Infected #11
The Stranger
What can you do when a steampunk mad genius targets you with a deadly serum? Fight back.
Spire City is home to mighty machines of steam power and clockwork, and giant beetles pull picturesque carriages over cobbled streets, but there is a darker secret behind these wonders. A deadly infection, created by a mad scientist, is spreading through the city, targeting the poor and powerless, turning them slowly into animals. A group of those infected by the serum join together to survive, to trick the wealthy out of their money, and to fight back.
In the middle of a snowstorm, Sairen finds a man raving outside the Weave. He sings and shouts in a language none of them know. They'd leave him alone, except his singing might well draw attention to their hiding place, but how can they get him to go away? As they try to find an answer to that, some mysteries about the stranger reveal themselves and force Marrel's band to change their plans.
