Luna nodded, smiling at the boy as the stranger took him from his broad shoulders, handed the small boy a wolf's tooth he carried in a pouch at his hip, "You're a brave boy doing what your folks tell you too. Keep that, maybe one day I show you how to get your own, ya?"
He then turned his attention to the stranger in the broad brimmed hat, "Believe me, the people whom I travel with are well schooled in books and tomes, and would be able to assist the sheriff with whatever Jimis' parent's wished him to fetch Caller to look at," he paused. "We've also seen some odd things around town, people creeping into their neighbours shack, skulking outside the Lorrimor Manor, if you mean to preserve peace in town," the large woodsman rolled his neck, cracking it loudly, "I would be glad to assist where needed. Been enough grief lately hasn't there?"
His face frowned as if he'd just remembered something, he nodded and smiled, thrusting out a thick, calloused hand, "Luna, woodsman by trade, hunter as needed, and you are?"

Kuzit keeps to the fringes once again. She has nothing to add, and doesn't want to boost the weirdness factor too much.

Re: Carrion Crown IC
Trestleblade. Ernest Trestleblade. I'm one of the sheriff's deputies. As for what we found here, I can't say much, but the gist of it is that there's a large V, painted in blood. We're getting the local Apothecary over here to look at it. I don't believe you folks could do much to help right now.
Wait, what did you say? People sneaking around other's houses? Where did you see that?I'm a Lawful Good Human Wizard at 1st level

Re: Carrion Crown IC
Kuzit looks at Augustin. She thought they had meant to keep that secret, but now that it was out there... "Last night we saw someone slip out of a house and into the woods. It was odd, but we didn't think it needed to be mentioned. I'm a follower of nature, though, if you'd like me to take a look at the blood... if you're okay with that, anyway."

Re: Carrion Crown IC
"I know some little magic," Kara adds, her expression going blank at the mention of blood. "If you would like for me to take a look at it, see if there is, ah, a magical residue, I would be willing. Certainly."

Re: Carrion Crown IC
Hmm. I suppose the sheriff does need to hear about this. Very well. You can come to the crime scene, but do not touch anything.
He leads you between a few trees, and you come upon a large statue in the shape of a five-pointed star. It seems similar to a badge that Officer Trestleblade is wearing. Beneath the statue, around 30 names are carved, but a giant V, written in now dry blood, covers some of them.
Sheriff, I think you'll want to hear this. Trestleblade walks over and brings a man over to you. He appears to be in his early 40s, with a wide-brimmed hat and a five pointed star on either shoulder. So, you say there was someone sneaking around houses last night? Can you give me any further details? Whose house besides yours were they at, anyway?Last edited by PhyrexianShovel; 2019-11-03 at 12:36 PM.

As Tobias walks around, Maronne's attention is drawn to the names beneath the statue. She takes a closer look at them, trying to see what significance this V would have.

Re: Carrion Crown IC
Kuzit shakes her head. "I'm not sure whose..." She relays the location of the house she'd visited. "But... it's probably nothing, right? Nothing bad happened last night?" While talking, she investigates the blood, looking for any sign of what it might be, or where the artist might have gone.

Re: Carrion Crown IC
Kara stares, and for a fleeting moment, that same hunger flickers across her features. Then she closes her eyes for a moment, murmurs an incantation, and opens them, gazing at the magical overlay over the world around the statue.

Re: Carrion Crown IC
Tobias, you look around, but forget to look where you're going, nearly tripping on a rock.
Maronne, you can't seem to discern anything from the names on the statue. Perhaps if there were more letters, you could, but there are quite a few names that have V in them.
Oh. That's very important information. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. He walks off, seemingly deep in thought.
Kuzit, if you look closely at the blood, you can tell it came from a head of some small animal, such as a fox or a medium-sized dog. The head was pushed directly against the wall to create the V.
Kara, you see nothing especially magical at the statue. However, as you do this, one of the deputies searching the bushes nearby says "Sheriff, you should see this." You see him reach down and pick up the head of a cat.I'm a Lawful Good Human Wizard at 1st level

Grabbing one of the deputy's by the forearm, Luna turned towards the incription under the statue, "These names here, they all contain the same marking, this 'V'," he pointed to one of many which contained that letter, "are they all somehow related? Could one of their family done this, marking the larger 'V' in the feline's blood?"

Re: Carrion Crown IC
Hmm... I like that thought. The sheriff walks over to look closer at the cat's head. The library likely has a book or two on it. The town hall also has decent records. I would guess that the temple of Pharasma's records are the most accurate, in any case.

"I will go and look at the town hall, then. There are things I would like to research there anyway." Kara nods politely to the sheriff and turns to leave, and if no one stops her, she goes straight to the town hall.

Re: Carrion Crown IC
Kara looks at the postings, and frowns deeply. Three weeks to the day until the memorial day. If something big involving the prison is going to happen, that seems like the day it would happen on.
It would be best to deal with things before that eventuality came to pass.
The dhampir turns to the woman doing the sweeping, and clears her throat politely. "Excuse me, I am sorry to interrupt, but I am looking for the records, yes?"

There'll be a door on the left next to the stage. Open it up, and you'll see the records room. She returns to her work while grumbling to herself.
You walk through the rows of chairs to the town records room. Inside, you see piles of dusty papers stacked around you. Each one is labeled with a different letter.I'm a Lawful Good Human Wizard at 1st level

Kuzit makes her way to the library, lightly stroking Aktathk for comfort as she goes. She wants to find anything she can on the history of the prison.

"He helped me raise my little friend here." Kuzit scratches Aktathk. "Drakes rarely bond with other creatures, and he was a friend of a friend, so when I met Aktathk and began trying to develop our bond, well... an academic's insight is something we needed.

Re: Carrion Crown IC
You arrive at a small, run-down building with a wooden sign atop it. The sign states "LIBRARY" in large, grey letters. Once you enter, you realize that calling this a library was perhaps an overstatement. There are several bookshelves, perhaps around 9 or 10, as well as a small table with three chairs in the back of the room. There is no librarian, nor can you see any way of organizing the books. As you walk further into the room, you bump into a large cobweb, seemingly stretching from the floor to the ceiling.

Re: Carrion Crown IC
Kara, you find a page that summarizes the events of the Harrowstone. It tells you the names of those who died there, as well as telling you this:
Due to a prisoner rebellion, an accidental fire spread throughout the prison, killing hundreds of prisoners, as well as Head Warden Hawkran, his wife, and 25 guards.
Kuzit, you find a small pile of papers which indicate that the library is organized with a system you don't recognize. It's dated 4685 AR, 24 years after the fire, and is labeled as the most recent catalog of it's contents.
OOC: Both of you, please make me a Knowledge(History) check. Kuzit, you may use knowledge(local).I'm a Lawful Good Human Wizard at 1st level
