[QUOTE="loxmyth, post: 1541662, member: 1255"] "You must've been living under a rock if you haven't heard. The gossip's all over the streets, and it's even been news in the Tidings," Jim crows, waving his walking stick at Buri. "Well, yet another telling of the story won't hurt anyone. There's been a string of murders over the last two weeks, and the guards suspect it's the work of one man, because of the killings have all been the same fashion. Brutally cut down with some heavy bladed weapon, likely orc-work. Body parts missing in some cases. That was the case with the girl across the way - they say she was only identified by the birthmark on her leg." The old man paused, apparently choked up with the memory. He dabbed at the corner of an eye and swallowed before continuing his musings. "Poor girl, she'd come in here sometimes for a trinket or potion. Beautiful lass, with the most bewitching green eyes... He was a cunning one, that killer. Dodged the guard for a good long time, and killed at least seven and possibly more - there are a few people that went missing in the last little while including a young halfling girl. Likely dead, every last one of them. But now he's behind bars as I hear it, and he'll be a head shorter in a couple of days. Of that we can be thankful." [/QUOTE]
