Just last night, Surna was attacked with what can only be described as a biological weapon in the form of a hulking monster. The beast, appearing to be a mutated human, went on a rampage through Surna, killing an estimated 27 people, 12 of which guards, and wounding as many as 30 others. The names of these people will not be disclosed here. The damages are still being estimated.
The beast was eventually dispatched by the town guard, with the leadership of Guard-Commander Thorn Razel, and several other brave citizens. However, shortly after its death, the creature exploded into a large cloud of green gas that quickly coated Surna. While no one seemed to be affected, the gas was presumed to be some kind of infectious plague, and Surna has been quarantined pending the arrival of officials from Imperia.
Citizens of Surna, you are urged to remain calm, and take necessary precautions to avoid spreading plague. Avoid close contact with others, use good hygiene, and do not venture outdoors unless absolutely necessary. The town gates will remain sealed; no one will be allowed outside under any circumstances. Should you wish to enter Surna, do so at your own risk, and be aware that you will not be let out again. Lastly, by order of the Guard, all deceased are to be rounded up and burned outside the gates.

[OOC]: Ladies and gents, this is not a drill. No more walking in and out of Surna. You're either in or out, that's how it's gonna be until this plague gets cured. And on that note, yes, it's curable. But it's not gonna be easy. This plague spreads like a virus, and mutates like one too. It pretty much is a virus. It's going to be a race against time (a week, to be exact) to find a cure, or people will start dropping.
What are the symptoms, you ask? Well, for the first few days you'll feel feverish, and then things start going to hell. By day six, you'll be unable to keep any food or drink down (vomiting), and have terrible hemophilia (which means your blood won't clot, and you'll bleed to death from a papercut). Eventually, you'll die. Simple as that. Anything that's organic will be affected, from the best mage on earth to the lowliest insect to the vines that creep up the walls. Obviously, symptoms may vary. Plants will simply wilt and wither away. Mages may find their magic harder to access (along with other symptoms). Insects or insect-like beings will find their chitin to be brittle and easily broken (along with other symptoms). Undead will just rot away faster.
Vampires will not be affected by this plague. Constructs (golems) are unaffected. Any machinery, equipment, etc. that's non-organic will be unaffected. Dorifium will not be affected.
