The Hunted (DM: IronSky, Judge: ???)

[Iron Sky]

The Hunted: Day 1, Hour 2, Minute 15

Earth attempts to rap the mangled bell on the iron fence, but it doesn't make more than a muffled clank in his massive fist.

[sblock=Insight 10]The lights are all off in the manor, probably something to do with it being nearly 11 o'clock when most civilized people go to bed shortly after dark...[/sblock]

Devinihm, wilden druid

The wilden frowns. "I lose track of time in the city," he admits. "If we wish to speak with this family, I think we will have to be much louder, and they may not be happy with us for waking them. Though if we wait, it will only be later when we wake them. Should we vault the gate and knock on the door?"

 

[Neurotic]

"Let's go and see the crime scene and then we come back tomorrow morning with proper announcement. More likely we'll get some answers that way. Also, just in case the beast is after only this family (and nobody made a connection yet) we may want to stay on guard by having two of us guarding the gate through the night. From afar of course."

"I don't know dearie," replies Auntie Mab. "I think we ought to knock and at least let them know about poor Mr. Dartanian. With the watch all tied up tracking this awful mess, I doubt anyone's thought to notify next of kin. If it were my son or husband I'd certainly want to know," she adds sadly.

"With a bazzlebaum on the loose though, it pays to be cautious. Mayhaps you're right and the beast is only after this family. Maybe it's still here... Tristram, be a dear would you? And go look in those upstairs bedroom windows. See if you see anyone inside, and if they look alright."

The brown rat nods his head with an affirmative *Squeak!*, and scampers off to investigate.

[sblock=Perception 8]Though whatever he's investigating, it's probably not the upstairs bedrooms. roll[/sblock]

The rat comes scampering quickly back, clearly excited... about the moldy bread crust it found under one of the sculpted hedges. It offers a tiny piece to Mab, waving it at her and filling the air around them with a cloud of spores that shine like silver dust in the moonlight.

 

[LadyLaw]

Rysethynn hides her face in her hand as Earth destroys the bell and shakes her head, but says nothing.

"Let's be lettin' these people sleep then," she says. "Best ter come back in ther mornin', now we've broken their bell an' all too. We get plenty else ter look inter."

 

[pacdidj]

"Oh, Tristram. Where's your head at today love? Yes, I see. That's a fine meal you've found yourself. But, we still don't know what's going on in the house...," muses a frustrated Auntie Mab.

"Hm, I suppose you're right Rysethynn dearie. Perhaps the family will take the bad news better on a full nights sleep, though Mireva knows there's never a good time. And, if that hideous creature is hiding about in there, better to confront it in the daylight when we can see what's going on. Well, shall we head over to High Lane then dearies?"

 

[Voda Vosa]

"Better" says Earth dropping the dead bell

Devinihm, wilden druid

Devinihm nods.

"The crime scene, then," he says, readying himself to follow Mab to the next locale.

Xander follows along silently waiting for when his talents are required.
