As the conversation goes on, the door at the end of the empty car opens. The open sliding door roars with rushing wind, the sound of the train running down the tracks coming to them unmuffled. From the shadows, a creature steps inside, a huge mastiff-sized black dog with three heads. One looks at Max, the other stares unblinkingly at Mina, and the last sniffs at the ground. The door closes behind it, leaving them in relative quiet.

There's no menace in his stance. In fact, his tail is low and slowly wagging with ease. The three-headed dog is searching and although he keeps an eye on Mina with one head, he dips the other two to the floor to start sniffing around.

To those familiar with the mythology, it may be obvious why the great dog is here. He is a sheepdog of souls, and he is here to retrieve his wayward charges. This may also indicate to the perceptive that there is something nearby.

At the moment, the three-headed dog is inquisitive. He is hunting for something, carefully proceeding down the train car. Not friendly (he is working right now), but he is not hostile. He is supernaturally intelligent and will fully understand human speech, although he cannot speak himself, at least not in any language the two mortals will understand.

That said, Tisiphone may have a chance at engaging with the Hound. With a successful social roll, she may learn that he is on the hunt for a cadre of murderous brides.

This is a social encounter. Please tag @Admin in #mod-request when this phase of the encounter is complete. If either PC has two failed rolls, then the encounter will turn hostile.
