Poster A Gift to the Mad One II

A drawing of some crows standing on a bed of skulls and roses ...

A Gift to the Mad One II

Now, where? Oh, where hides the Beast?
In damned halls? Where darkness crawls?
Disguised but see! It stands due East!
A husk of fear that hides behind stone walls!

Lo!

Reeking of the wretched, of secrets it sings...
Another gift of chaos for the Stranger!
Child's tears as knife tears, the joy death brings!
Her corpse laid to rest in a scarlet manger!

As a clue I am going to say that the poster that Uriel tore down appears well travelled.

Things are not always as they seem.

Also --
The poem can be assumed to be public knowledge.

dayumn, still going strong Jase

I have had a lot of questions about this one --
So here are some ... comments.

1. Things are not always as they seem.
2. The Beast is East ... from where and what?
3. Are you looking for 'the Beast'? Or something else?

Do also take [this] riddle into consideration as well.
You will know when you have the correct answer to where the Beast is. Pm me through forums or discord if you think you have an answer.

Oh -- and I thought this was cool thematically but its not related to your search --
The french in the image says
"Ideologies separate us ...
Dreams and anxieties bring us together."

OOC:
Thanks to all who came down to Nid Arach for part 3 of the Gift to the Mad One arc!
Without you, all this would have not been fun Thanks to all who participated and gave it a good shot.

The part 3 riddle above was in the dungeon that the Henry (+OOC Scardrac) solved, which I now give to the server for all to read!

This last verse is OOC.


Fruitless search fashioned from lies
For no Beast of gore stands to feed flies
Only a trap for those who foul Nid Arach
A lonely grave and an unmarked plaque ...

Do you see now? What my gift is?
Your death, your life! They are now His!
You will starve, lest on flesh you feast.
Trapped in the dark, never released ...

How he will gorge upon your tears
as you wallow in unending fears!
Your pain will never cease or fade
Trapped in a hell of unending shade!

But Ho! I am kind! I grant you mercy
Near you is a blade for the worthy.
Be brave and take the knife
Leave her high, and take your life.
