You, all of you, gab entirely too much.

Here's a new thread for it!

In reply to Flynn Goodall (msg # 1):

I gab just enough, thank you kindly.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 2):

There it is.  You avaracious bastard.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 3):

Sounds good.  I just want to be able to call them by name when/if we speak to them directly, or refer to them by name to others.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 4):

Based on the state of the body we found, how long has it been dead?

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 5):

I don't know that Titus really inspected it, he just looked and drew a picture.

It wasn't rotten, bloated, or even touched by animals.

In reply to GM (msg # 6):

Was it stinky?

That would be about as far as I would know how to inspect.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 7):

It was not

In reply to GM (msg # 8):

You're making me do fantasy demographics now?

.... jeez...

In reply to GM (msg # 9):

You can round to the nearest 10, if that helps! :P

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 10):

Ok so...Master of Coin it is. What with his access to a mint...

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 11):

Alright, we need to do some tabletalk. Brennan might be a genius but I'm flummoxed and I think we should discuss our options.

We know that there are many girls missing (How Many?), and that the last three at least have vanished within about a week of each other. This could have a ritual significance or not, based on alignment of celestial bodies or maybe just days of the week or something as simple as the people involved have to work during the week and can only ritual/kidnap on weekends. If those even exist in this setting.

We found the body of one girl (You're Sure She's Dead?), who was naked and holding a flower (What Kind?). You put her back where you found here so we can "discover" her again later, and drew a picture, and Deev was there in any case and so could take her form if needed.

Trouble is, aside from trying to use "the girl" to ferret out the kidnappers based on reactions, the best use of Deev mirroring the child is to lead the authorities to the hideout...which we haven't found yet.

Clues include the tattoos found on Keller and his men; the tattoo'd corpse in the Master of Arms's jail cell; the body of the child; the missing or forged Badge; and Keller's patron.

Other clues that may or may not be relevant: Smitty exists, the mold is in the guildmistress's possession, the governor is (and has been) sick, there's a kid who wants explosives from Cyril, and Pika is giving off untrustworthy tells (IMO).

What else do folks have to add to the melting pot o' knowledge?

To add to your knowledge pool:

3 is all the confirmed disappearances, yes. Approximately one per week.

Alignment of celestial bodies is absolutely important for predictions, divination, and allegedly demonic rituals, yes.


The Governor and his Masters (Arms, Coin, Hunt, Guild) wear the badges as do their deputies/clerks or whatever.  The exact number of badges is unknown to Pika, or she claims not to know.

Guildmistress Lady Rayne holds the mold for the badge.  "Smitty" is just Pika's pronounciation of "smithy" or a blacksmith.

You have found one girl you suppose to be one of those missing, though you have not confirmed it per se.  Though Titus is no doctor and did not do an autopsy, he did confirm that she is dead.
