Message: <blockquote data-quote="talien" data-source="post: 4425227" data-attributes="member: 3285">A Walk in the Park: PrologueThe Last Resort was a mess.  It would take weeks to repair what had only just been recently put back together.  And this time, there were no high stakes gamblers to drop thousand-doubloon tips. Or Kham, for that matter.“I haven’t seen Kham in days,” said Vlad.  “I’m starting to get worried.”Bobbin Brandydale looked morose.  He had lost weight since the two incidents on his business.  Ironically, every attack brought more business, so he had the double-edged sword of prosperity and tragedy—at the same time. “Me too. It’s strange that he hasn’t even shown up to collect his father’s belongings.”“We need to see his room, Bobbin,” said Dril in a stern voice.  “It could save his life.”Bobbin put some mugs back on the wall behind him.  “I can’t do that.”Dril sat on a barstool.  “Fine.  At least you can tell us what he was doing before he left.”Bobbin thought for a moment.  “After he read the news about his father’s death, Kham was gone for a bit.  He came in real late; he was a mess, but that’s not unusual for him.  Then he received an unmarked letter. I left it under his door.”“We need to see that note,” said Dril.Bobbin sighed.  “It’s right here.”  He slapped the note down on the bar, but kept his hand on it.  “I don’t normally share this kind of stuff about Kham, but I’m worried about his safety.”Dril slid the note out from Bobbin’s hand and opened it up to read. “We’re his friends, Bobbin,” said Vlad. “If he’s in trouble, we’ll get him out of it.”Dril’s features darkened as he read further into the note.  “This is bad.”“How bad?” asked Vlad.“Real bad.  It’s from some W. Gresty, and mentions Elijah Quelch and Lucius Roby. It’s basically asking Kham to kill Quelch on the night of the full moon.”“That’s tonight,” said Bobbin.“That’s not all.  It ties Quelch to Coombs…”Vlad nodded before Dril said more. “I’ll get the others.”</blockquote>
