You and Raven stick close together as you go deeper into the cemetery.

Passing by the head stones, Raven seems to feel the chill of the ghosts, as she said. She shivers and rubs an arm to warm up.

"While I'm glad there are actual ghosts hanging around," Raven says, "it's a lot going on. It's like this cemetery is crowded."

"Is there any space that doesn't feel crowded?" you ask.

Raven looks around and she points to a spot on the west side.

"I don't sense too much going on over there," she says.

You follow Raven as you go a long way to an angel statue. The angel holds a book and seems to be turning the page. The name of the statue is, "The Turning Angel," so that explains that.

"Erected by the Natchez Drgu Company," Raven says, reading the inscription on the pedestal. "To the memory of the unfortunate employees who lost their lives in the great disaster that destroyed its building on March 14, 1908."

Raven forgoes reading the names listed to move around and look at the face of the statue.

"Never seen an angel statue in person before," she says. "But it makes sense, right? Being the daughter of a demon and all."

You walk over to her and hold her hand.

"One doesn't have to do with the other," you say. "You're far more divine than any angel."

She chuckles and smirks. But then something makes her smile go away and she looks to the south.

"Something's heading this way," she says in a very serious tone.

"Is it-"

"Yes," she says. "And Duncan wasn't kidding. This thing is hot like boiling water. And moving like a tidal wave."

"How much time?" you say as you bring out the matchbox.

"Maybe a couple minutes."

"Set out some of these," you say as you hand her the box. "No less than a dozen, evenly spaced."

"Wait, how far apart?" she asks.

"It doesn't matter, so long as they're evenly spaced. Make sure it's a line-up, like a fence or a wall."

She digs into the box and brings out several matches. While she sets those out on the asphalt, you prepare your containment spell.

"Whoa!" Raven says. "The matches are lighting on their own!"

"What?" you say as an idea already clicks in your mind. "No, not on their own. The spirit's causing that. But then..."

"It's already on the cemetery grounds," she says. "It's heading this way!"

"Custos Maximus!" you shout.

Your Guardian spell is deployed, and it creates a perimeter around...

A) Natchez Cemetery
B) The Turning Angel
