The sergeants think for a moment, then the taller of the two, a middle aged man with close cropped hair begins. "Well sars, not more ta tell I gather. From what his Lordship has toldn ya, and what we know from the good Brother told. Wheve only recovered seven corpses so far, or least parts of corpses.. spread out near Tres and Capendu.....ahh it were horroble indeed! And it twas only at tha last few victims we even saw some tracks. They was like that or a beast or large cat.. it was hard ta tell. But it seems alot liken the stories."
The second sergeant, shorter with a black mustache chimes in. "We aint got no idea that were we found the corpses was where they was killed either," he adds shrugging. Twas no trail leading to or from where we found them poor wretches remains..but with a beast like that Fiend, only St. Cuthbert knows what its truly capable of."
The sergeant strokes his mustache, "Seems like the victims were all seen before it got dark. At first they was just going bout their business. Later when things got dire, even folk who were goin but a short distance, like from Tres to the stream were taken. No screams were ever heard, and none has seen the Fiend kill a victim."
"Aye, an were helpless," the first sergeant adds. "Ya cant track tha demon.. I only hope The Cudgeller has heard our prayers. perhaps'n that why you are all here, to deliver us?"
OOC_ the red x's are the locations the corpses were found..the A is were Adleton was found.

"Interesting", Fatcoin replies. "Can you mark next to your X's where each townsperson lived? It seems only Tres and Capendu have been affected. Have any of the guards from this tower gone missing? I know you said not every body has been found."
"Also, you mention a lack of tracks near any of the bodies. Was there evidence of them being dragged? Or was it as if they fell out of the sky?"

"Hmm," ponders Colm, stroking his chin as he listens to the guard's tales. "Hmm. A cat?" he says half to himself, and then looks at his companions. "I am reminded of something friend Telion told me, though I also feel there may be some intelligence behind this. Perhaps it was one of those worgs we encountered on the way here?"

The mustachioed sergeant shrugs. "Aye it seemed to be catlike, thought hard to be sure. The prints we found had claws, and was big that is ofr sure."

"We'd thought bout that too good sar," the tall sergeant replies. "Out of tha 13 victims, six was men and 7 women. Of tha corpses, tha ones found jus south of Tres was from Tres; tha ones south of Capendu were from Capendu. Tha exception was good Master Adleton."
The sergeant leans against his halbred. "Twere no signs of tha victims bein drug. Tha remains were jus there. How they got there is a mystery as well. Whether is was dropped or tha Fiend was just bein careful... who knows what dark powers it has?"

“Cat prints or doggie prints? Blast! I can’t remember what that mangy mutt’s feet looked like, though they sure came in handy for saving his fur! Hah!” Norgim raises his hands in frustration. “What manner of beast is this, killing women for sport? Mysterious powers or no, this…fiend sure seems a coward to me! Much like our worg indeed..

The tall sergeant shakes his head. "From what I understand been na travellers of any kind for a couple a months now..cept you of course. Folk just dont travel tha road nomore."
"We had a circus come through in tha spring, and sometimes barges pull ta the river bank in the warm months to trade or take on water or food, but latley not seen too many strangers."

Vergat ponders for a moment... "Even though I have seen much that is otherworldly, I am by nature, practical minded.
"I am much more inclined to believe that the killer we seek is of this mortal coil. That being the case, it would need food, which it seems to be getting; water, which would not seem to be available on flytrap ridge but nearer the river; and shelter. Tell me, good constable, are there any caves or sheltered areas near the river where a large animal might hide?"
