Re: The Wolf's Head Tavern
Well buckaroo Boone, I would be glad to have you on board. Exciting isn't it? Like a drug. Trolls, spawns of hell, faeries, the fountain of youth, lost Atlantis, Jack the Ripper, or maybe just some crazy old lady with too many cats could be lurking behind every shrub. A waste of time, or the discovery of a lifetime have equal chances of suffering our gaze. A glorious gamble.
His eyes popped open, and he recalled his one and only trophy. Wilford had only ever killed one person in his life, and that man provided the first real proof of the supernatural. He dug into his pocket and pulled out a rosary bead. The trinket was made of wooden beads and a pewter crucifix, but that wasn't what made it special. The rosary beads were stained with a deep rust color and always held a slimy texture. Whenever they touched flesh small splotch of congealed blood would remain. Upon closer inspection the body of Christ was just that, in so much that there was no head. I never learned how to use it, but I have seen it in action. A serial killer kept it wrapped around his fingers like brass knuckles. When I saw him use it he had a poor girl tied and gagged and he spit upon it before pressing it upon her forehead. He began to look uneasy at the memory, his eyes even began to water. She began to show signs of stigmata, only the blood flowed from the wounds and soaked into his skin. We believed it either made him stronger, or possibly t-t-too-took her soul. I have kept it to keep others from using it and in hopes learn how to destroy it, even fire didn't work. Perhaps you know how to destroy it or can do a better job of protecting it than I. Would you consider a barter?
Everyman has his struggles with morality when fear is thrown in as a heady mixture. truth be told he did not care what the man did with it, at least he wouldn't be using it in his world. He felt a pang of guilt for this line of thought, but didn't back down from the offer.
((OOC: For those with magic it is an unholy relic created and used by a Slasher, a supernatural serial killer. It transfers health if used lightly, and syphons portions of the victims soul in order to grant the user some of the victims knowledge and memories. It can only be destroyed if immersed in a mixture of holy water anda few drops of a virgin's blood. He obtained it during his first "story."))
