The Lighting of the Death

[Moggthegob]

Zook pulls Rethlin and Veyk aside. Zook whispers to them " Hey guys, we got a situation, while this guy is crackpot, he does have some 'real' evidence. He has that journal we used in our last case. On top of that, while mos of these rambling are paranoid, the part about Breland considering the use of undead we know to be more or less true....I don't know how you want to handle this...

"We should proceed carefully with Master Buntleby" Rethlin whispers back. "He may not be a threat, but either way we want to find the undead and destroy them. Let us try to determine what else he really knows..."

" I suppose that the appearance of the marauders might be some kind of freak coincidence, " says Veyk quietly, " But we ought to try and get enough information on the incidence history to conduct our own sweep of the area. That may be the only way to get to the bottom of this. "

"Agreed" responds Rethlin.

" Do you suppose you could furnish us with a complete listing of all incidents, with their time, place and involved parties, that have been noticed since the beginning of the current troubles, as well as a detailed map of this district? " asks Veyk of Buntleby. " We should like to begin our investigation immediately, as soon as we have the information we need to make a thorough job of it. "

Zook nods his head " There is not a moment to lose. we should investigate wuickly and quietly and meanwhile someone should calm this nutjob down so the community isnt going bonkers on us while we do it."

OOC:
We're going to assume Zook said that quietly so Buntleby couldn't hear him, right?

Buntleby looks mildly confused that half the party is having a secret meeting while the other half isn't, but he nods at Veyk's suggestion.

"Right here, gentlemen. Madam."
He proceeds to open a leather folio: inside is a map of the district fully two by three feet in size: drawn, if the title block can be believed, by Q. Mortimer Buntleby.
Over the map is a sheet of thin tracing vellum liberally sprinkled with crosses, six rayed stars, and 8 rayed stars.
He takes a moment to line the vellum up with the map, secures it with some brass clips, and demonstrates to the party how each type of mark represents a different sort of event.
There are thirty-seven neatly numbered crosses, each representing an UNCANNY VIEWING: he holds up a notebook with numbered pages to correspond to the numbers.
Nineteen six-rayed stars indicate MISSING THINGS, each with their own page in the notebook.
Seven eight-rayed stars indicate MISSING PEOPLE, and Buntleby sadly draws on a star to add Will as the party directs him.
More numbered pages and Buntleby neatly jots notes from the party's description of the fight.
He may be a crank, but he's certainly an organized crank.

"Are there any patterns here Master Buntleby?" asks Rethlin. "A hub that many of the locations radiate from perhaps? How about ancient grave yards found during your research?"

 

[Mellubb]

"Also what is the relationship of the victims?"
