Fear Not, Gentle Players!
[OOC-DeWar: We got yer back!]
Zane relates to the Constables that he had determined that the primary consumer of slave flesh in the area was the Ogre band, who are apparently supplying the slaves to be used in some kind of hideous, other-worldly human sacrifice arrangement to appease some foul god or other. The Ogres, naturally, seem not to be the masterminds of the operation, but rather just the suppliers of living sacrificial flesh. Nevertheless, this is the best clue that he has been able to locate concerning these slavers and their "customers". The Ogres, then, are the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. Zane does have a general area that he was going to survey in attempting to locate the base of the Ogres, and Ogres, not known for their subtlety, shouldn't be all that difficult for a group of trained Constables to locate.
