The hermits are left with a murderer trying to pick them off one by one. No one knows who the killer is. No one knows why they're being crowded in a small building like a herd of sheep.

 Everyone is freaked out.

A brief idea of the opening to the story:

 ???'s POV:

 It all seemed to happen so quickly. We were all in the woodland mansion for a large communal party. Everyone was enjoying themselves.

 Impulse, Python, Biffa, Wels, and Ren were all performing some music on the stage when Joe told them that he would like to say a few words. 

 The five men all got off the stage allowing Joe to have the floor. Joe stood on the stage and tapped the microphone, " Ya'll can hear me right?" he questioned as he fixed his glasses. Everyone cheered letting Joe nod happily. 

 " We'll all been together for a long time. From beautiful creations to dangerous wars we've been through thick and thin." Joe started to ramble as he held the microphone. We all listened to his speech as I looked back towards Ren. 

 Ren was leaning against Doc tiredly. Doc was running his claw through Ren's wet hair. Doc looked up at me with a small smirk, " Hey (???).... You enjoying the party?" he yawned as I nodded. I crossed my arms as I held a thing of water in my hands. I needed to fly home, and I honestly didn't want to end up drunk. 

 " Yeah, I just wish that we didn't hold it here.... This place gives me murder vibes..." I sighed with a shake of my head. Doc nodded slowly, " I'm gonna have to agree with you on that point... Ren's been acting odd every since we got here." 

 Doc looked down at Ren. The dog hybrid twitched against Doc and sniffed the air. He growled tiredly as he put his head against Doc.

 The moment the three of us looked back towards Joe chaos broke out. While talking, the lights went out in the room. 

 There was a scream, a cry, and Cleo activating her magic to bring light into the room. We all looked the front of the room to find that TFC had his leg crushed underneath a chandler, and Joe had been shoved to the ground by Tin in order to save the poetic hermit's life.
