You may all be young, but you have faced many dangers in life and none of them have been as hard to face as the raw anguish and loss of Ven Vinder. You arranged, with Sheriff Hemlock, for the broken man to return home, and then you yourselves went to the Hagfish for a reunion, of sorts.It had been months since you had last had a proper chance to talk. In fact, the events of the Catacombs and Thistletop had never really been marked by a proper celebration, and now that you were together again, nobody really felt like celebrating. Too many corpses, too much misery. Instead you fell into a hushed conversation, letting the cold ale relax you.Food, some heavily spiced fish stew with noodles - Ameiko always surprises with her strange cuisine - led to more beers. The night was punctuated by people coming over to greet you, old friends, new friends, regulars. But the bulk of the night was spent discussing the murders. Jokad was convinced that an undead entity was responsible. The stench, the flecks of flesh and bone, the bare footprints, the horrific state of the corpses ... it was clear in his mind, and in truth it did fit the picture well.But the leads were few, and the conversations folded back upon itself time and time again. Eventually it was time to call it a night. Jovik found the solitude of his bed difficult after so many nights with Shalelu.It was just as day was leaving on the following day that Sheriff Hemlock sent out the call.There has been another one, but this time we have a survivor.At once you all made haste to his small office.</blockquote>
