The PCs will be trying to track down what is essentially an aspect of Jack the Ripper, except this killer targets criminals and not just prostitutes. The manner of each victim's death will be brutal and bloody. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Victim 1-3: Three local young men (one a noble) have a drunken and violent encounter with a barmaid, leaving her left on the side of the road beaten, abused, and assaulted. Soon after the three young men meet a similar fate - beaten, abused, and assaulted - plus each have their left hand severed.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Victim 4: The local constable sees justice enforced through the power of coin. If you have coin then you can avoid justice... or even influence justice being enforced on others. The practice of corruption and greed soon finds the constable the next victim. He's found at a local blacksmith tarred and feathered... with melted gold (or fool's gold) used instead of tar.  Of course, he is also missing his left hand.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Victim 5: Years ago Taneen was an apprentice to a mage guild in a distance city. She tapped into powers far beyond her capabilities and ended up summoning a fire demon that broke free of her control. The fire demon was responsible for starting a fire within the shanty neighborhood of the city - a blaze that took several days for the firefighters to bring under control. Dozens had been killed by the fire and Taneen fled before authorities could bring her to justice. Vargan the bounty hunter has an old wanted poster of Taneen, and with the power of the Madness gem he remembers this wanted poster.  Taneen, now known as Isiedona the breakmaker, is found  one early morning chained to a stake where she was burned alive - with her left hand also severed.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Victim 6: etc, etc etc.</li> </ul>All total I have 11 murders mapped out.  Each murder has a setup section, a clues that can be discovered section, and an aftermath section. The setup section details how Vargan learns of the criminal and the crime, tracks down the criminal, and executes the criminal. The clues that can be discovered section details clues that the PCs can find at each murder site, through interviews, and other investigative avenues. The aftermath section details how locals respond including the political, economical, and social changes that occur due to the murders.</blockquote>
