You call up Master Bezalel. <span class="mu-b">"Mission complete, Mastah."</span>
"Are you calling me with the prepaid card I gave you?"
<span class="mu-b">"Yessa."</span>
"Good. And you took the stairs, right?"
<span class="mu-b">"Yessa."</span>
"Good job. Don't come to the bank anymore. If you get caught by the police, it's better if they don't trace you back to me. I'll send your payment in cash to the mosque. Be careful. And be proud. You're now an honorary Kabbalist. The international community will hear about your exploit."
You don't remember when you started calling him "Mastah", but he seems accustomed to commanding monsters, so it felt natural. With your mind at ease from this refreshing interlude, you can now enjoy the rest of your vacation.
<span class="mu-r">Random Event (NPC Action):</span> When you call Master Bezalel in the evening, he doesn't respond. Has something happened to him?
According to urban legends, the former rubber plantation is home to <span class="mu-i">pontianaks</span>. Those are the vampiric ghosts of women who died while pregnant. The rubber trees have long disappeared. The area has been replaced with Sembawang Park, and the ghosts are said to reside in the trees. You wait for the night. You feel spooked. Normally, you feel at ease in the darkness, but the terrifying legends have affected your imagination. Danger could lurk behind any tree.
Suddenly, you hear high-pitched baby cries. The cry is soft, and sounds a bit like the whining of a wolf. It's soft enough that you're not sure if you've really heard something, or if it's your imagination.
<span class="mu-b">Perception</span>: You detect a very faint floral fragrance.
According to the legend, after a pontianak materializes, she will kill you by digging her nails into your stomach with her fingernails, and then devor your insides. That sounds rather dangerous. Your morbid curiosity has brought you here, but now faced with dangerous, fear begins to take control over your body.
