MARCUS RAUST(Stealth Roll: 7) You have been a hunter for a very long time indeed, and adapting to the shadows of a small village isn't any harder than hiding among bushes. You press yourself against the eastern wall of the inn and watch the entrance.
Before too long, a young woman opens the door and looks around. For a second it seems as if she looks directly at you, but you remain still, and she fails to notice your presence in the shadow. She heads west, then into the alleys between the houses.
She must be on her way to the southern gate. (Tailing Roll: 7) She moves quickly, as if afraid of being caught, but you've trailed animals and monsters much swifter than she, and you follow her, moving from one shadow to the next. (-Failed Roll-) A woman suddenly calls out to you, alerting Elizabeth. She turns, sees you, and flees through the southern gate.
NAZARAA suspicious man exits the inn, and you immediately follow him. (Tailing Roll: 7) He hides in the shadows on the eastern wall of the inn, his attention fixed on the Saddler household. (-Failed Roll-) Yours is on him, and Elizabeth exits her house with you being none the wiser.
The man moves to the alleyways with such grace and speed you find it hard to keep up with him. (Tailing Roll: 6) But you manage to do so, and just before he turns a corner you yell for him to stop in the name of the watch!
MALLEUS RAULAT & WYMAR SANEWymar heads outside to check his notice, just as Malleus comes over to ask him why he's there. (I don't wanna force the conversation for you guys to take a certain path, so, sorry for the short turn.
)
PIERRE Dé GRASSE(Sleep Roll: 8.) No one knows how to relax like a high-born Frenchman with the door to his room barred. Despite the uncomfortable surroundings, you stretch out on the bed and quickly fall asleep. Tomorrow will be a bright day, indeed. (Pierre gets +1 on his next three actions after waking up!)
FRIAR GREENMOORE(Speech Roll: 5) The young man still seems troubled, but he is willing to talk to a man of faith. "My father used to keep this inn," he says, indicating the general area with a gesture. "I'd always planned to follow in his footsteps, but not so soon..."
He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath to steady himself. "There's been a series of terrible murders here, friar. They started five months ago, and my father was the first. There's been five, once every full moon." He looks around, but the common is mostly deserted. Everyone has headed home, save for the few travelers who have yet to go to their rooms.
"Many people are claiming outlandish things, like werewolves and witches and cultists... I don't know who or what is doing this." He shakes his head. "The watch is doing the best they can, but no one's seen anything. I'm afraid that if this murderer isn't caught soon, they may start arresting people without reason."
You thank him for the information and get a room.
GENERALNazara has cornered Marcus near the southern gate. Malleus and Wymar are talking outside the inn. Pierre is asleep, and Friar Greenmoore is in the common room of the inn.
