As you might have expected, Mauriceau soon initiates eviction proceedings against you. You learn this firsthand when a pair of National Guard troops appear outside your door at the end of the week. They demand you leave the premises immediately.

You never liked the place, anyway. Still, it was your only home and source of income.

You pack up your portable belongings, sell what you can to your neighbors, and leave behind what you can't. The mustachioed National Guard members watch in cold silence, standing beside their tied-up horses. Then you head into town to look for a cheap place to stay.

So, these demonic abilities seem like they may be as powerful as you had hoped. You're itching to put them to even greater use.
