Namzu would remain paused mid-shadowstep for quite a while, simply observing events happening throughout the city from the safety of its darkened heart before ultimately stepping out onto a nearby rooftop. Thankfully the sun wasn't out just yet, for a number of reasons it seemed, though many other supernatural creatures were. And in force at that. This was a good thing he quickly determined, for it was chaos like this that allowed enterprising individuals such as himself to rise up and take control most often. Of course he wasn't going to go about things stupidly. No, the best way to approach the mess raging below was through proxies and servants, while he ensconced himself at the center of a shadowy web. That way he could not only exert a wider reach, but also create more than a few layers of security for himself.

Powerful as he was, Namzu was no fool. Older creatures than he had died for their hubris. He would not make the same mistakes as well.
