Dark Fairytale IC

[Azurewraith]

Picking up the book on the fey breach Kaleth learns;
That Brackenbalick is built within an hours walk of a large breach into the fey wild this is both a blessing and a curse. The Darkwood itself is born from the breach as are the many creatures that haunt it. The ritual the elves use to craft and harvest the wood also come from the denizens of the breach.

OOC: A further 20mins trickles past

Colember finds himself in the storeroom Dragen the dwarven outfitter looks at the prince."What do ye want"

OOC: Feel free to sort your equipment out

 

[River Song]

Kalveen nods in acknowledgement and spends almost half an hour ensuring all their equipment is prepared. After the task is complete he marches himself off to the library, seeing Kaleth studying the three tomes he offers to help.

Kalveen finds Kaleth at the table reading a rather large book with another lying open and a further book closed grabbing the closed book he begins to skim through it.
Brackenbalick has a long standing history of fey tricksters causing issue from an assortment of fairy's and pixies to quicklings. They cause all kinds of issues for the residents from stolen items, to buckets of water above doors mostly harmless pranks however every now and again, something goes to far and someone dies. In all instances of accidental death a redcaps has sprung into being and terrorized the town.

"Hmm," Kalveen mutters and then whispers, "Kaleth, what is a redcap?"

 

[Azurewraith]

OOC: To those that paid attention in class a Redcaps is a small fey creature not unlike a violent gnome. It is entirely consumed by a need to kill. Arcana roll for more information.

Kaleth looks up from the book he was reading. He ponders the question for a minute remembering everything he has learned of the Redcap

[Azurewraith]

A redcap is born from a desire for vengeance they spring up out of a deceased blood stain. They are named for their blood red caps,that must be soaked in blood every 3days or they vanish, this makes them homicidal killers.

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Kaleth remembers these creatures from one of Master Lothar's lectures. He touches Kalveen's mind and answers. The voice plays in the same tone and inflection of the lecture Lothar gave in class.

A redcap is born from a desire for vengeance they spring up out of a deceased blood stain. They are named for their blood red caps,that must be soaked in blood every 3days or they vanish, this makes them homicidal killers.

That could be the cause of the disappearances. However the Redcap did not have a preferred victim especially children. Nor did it abduct it's victims. It didn't quite fit but it was a place to start.

If it is a Redcap then it is acting unusual. They normally do not abduct their victims. And it targeting only children is odd.
