Points of Interest[]
- 3413 Corbin Way
- 3413 Corbin Way was the location of a large apartment complex in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that catered to an executive clientele. A 17th century witch named Elva took up residence at the penthouse suite of the apartment building, which was also occupied by homunculi servants. Elva's nemesis, Lila Thorsguard and her human companion Ivan Rodriguez used GPS tracking to find out where she was so that Lila could get revenge upon Elva for murdering her sisters. Breaking into the apartment, Lila fought up against Elva's servants, bludgeoning several of them with a meat tenderizer. Elva and Lila then fought one another, exchanging blasts of magic energy, which Lila deflected with a force field. Elva then threw a dagger, which struck Ivan in the chest, killing him. Lila scooped up his body and rushed out of the apartment in the hopes of finding some means of resurrecting him.
