Fr. Berman completes his healing (Ru +6 hp, Darian +3 hp, Torhan +9 hp) and everyone settles in best they can.In response to the chaplain's question, Alek responds matter-of-factly, "Honestly, nothing. I know nothing about that thing that attacked. Garl, the only reason I'm sitting here right now is that I feel safer here, with you." He turned to Darian and added, "And you... mistrust me." Kitten and Marionette glower in response.As Ru climbs back onto the coach, Tavish greets him. "Good to see you again, officer. I dare say I was afraid we lost you. When you ran... it looked like there was the devil inside you. Like a rage trying to get out. I'm glad you're all right. That thing... maybe the gnomes are better with their masks on, after all."Very quickly (the horses have never run so fast) the coach returns to the front courtyard of the Constabulary. The white gnome carriage from earlier stands patiently at the ready, just beyond the gate. A pony lets out an impatient snort. One investigator leans in the doorway as the enforcers check the coach and let you enter. He is portly, unkempt, and spits out a wad of tobacco. Fitch, only Fitch, still holds to that old tradition. As the Clocktower investigators approach, gnomes in tow, Fitch grunts, "Hey, Torhan, your bird's flown." Grunting was all Fitch ever seemed to do. <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/62/153744449_6d2248643e_d.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Fitch.Still, the recent combat makes it easy to ignore him. Tavish presents him with the gnome corpse. "Here, help me get this to the morgue." Tavish grins as he takes his leave of the policemen. Fr. Berman takes a moment to heal Calahan (+6 hp). Gis is quick to meet the policemen. He rushes the gnomes into extra rooms, and moves the police into his office. He quickly gets to the point. "I hope you are making progress. You're bringing more and more gnomes here, and it's impossible to keep track of them all, apparently. Templeton and Sasha have gone missing. Best we can figure, they slipped out during the confusion with the explosion downstairs. Ada and Pigglemorth are still here, although Ada's been acting strangely. Can't blame her too much, cramped up here all day with no one to talk to."[sblock=credit] Photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/44124324682@N01/153744449/" target="_blank">mharrsch</a>.
