Ptolus: The Legend of Longcoat

[Wrahn]

Jossen pauses a moment, "We heard a scream." the tension in his body relaxes somewhat once he realizes that there is no immediate threat.

"Did you see anything?"

 

[Erekose13]

Maugra continues to lead Grant and the watchman on back towards the sight of the body. She blinks up at the rain pouring down worried that it may have destroyed much of the scene. Then she remembers the half-glimpse she saw and actually hopes that much of it has washed away.

"Did you see anything?"

Vanden turns at the sound of Jossen's voice, sees he and Akilu standing in the doorway. In response to the question, he shakes his head. "I thought I saw... something... out of the corner of my eye. A woman. The vision led us here." He regards the picture on the wall once more. "I- we- believe this was Coraithe Whitetree's home, before she was murdered."

"Was she the one screaming?" Jossen looks slightly more tense at the mention of ghosts.

The rain settles into a rhythmic drumming, coming more or less straight down, down the open collars of garments, and beating against the brim of hats.

The trio sloshs their way along the wet sand until they find the alley near the end of Salt Spray Street. Watchman Kaleck eyes Maugra and Grant suspiciously and then the corner they indicate.

"Wait here," he says, speaking loudly to be heard over the sound of rain, and he heads around the corner to where they left the body, leaving them in the gloomy intersection.

"Was she the one screaming?" Jossen looks slightly more tense at the mention of ghosts.

Vanden shakes his head. "No- that was Garnet. He seemed to think it rather urgent that we enter this dwelling, though as you can see, there doesn't appear to be anything here."

The eunuch pauses, then says, "We haven't seen the spirit, though there was certainly a sense of... foreboding when we first entered." He shudders slightly with memory.

Jossen visibly relaxes, putting the arrow back in his quiver, "Sorry, I guess I am a little jumpy. I heard the scream and thought there was trouble."

He takes a breath, "I guess unless you need something, we will go back to the alley."

 

[Erekose13]

"Wait! you'll need a lantern in this darkness." Maugra says following the Watchman into the alley. She has not mentioned Jossen or Akilu yet but will before the man reaches the darkness.

The watchman takes the lantern from Maugra with a nod, then turns on his heel and squelches around the corner to where they last saw the body.

 

[Erekose13]

Maugra will watch from where she is at the corner then. Her enhanced vision should allow her to see what the watchman is doing and right now keeping an eye on him is more important than avoiding the grizzly scene.

"Oh, sir, a couple of our friends are down there making sure that the scene is not comprimised. " she shouts after him, remembering that Akilu and Jossen should be there.
