This thread is to summarize clues and evidence found throughout your investigation, hopefully minimizing the amount of time you have to spend coming through old threads.  This list is non-exhaustive, meaning info not listed here isn't necessarily unimportant.  You may add your own evidence below, though I ask that you keep your list to a single post.

OPEN CASES:


Morast, Hamlet, 8 miles East of Lepidstadt.

From Rova 10 to Rova 25 of 4709, the Beast of Lepidstadt is accused of abducting and murdering Dowd Pescar, Aran Cohn, Alexandra Cohn, Bogdan Balan, Jacob Pescar, Adam Ionescu, Maria Ionescu, Laurent Pescar, Olga Pescar, and Camille Pescar.  It started by attacked lone travelers on the outskirts of town, and later moved on to attacking people in the street at night and eventually invading a family home.

On Rova 30, the people of Morast laid an ambush organized by the village elder Lazlo Pescar.  The beast was wounded and pursued to a cemetery 1km north of Morast, where it was attacked by blood caiman.  The people of Morast previously believed the beast had been killed by the caiman until it's recent capture.  Lazlo Pescar and three other citizens involved are scheduled to testify on Toilday, Lamashtan 11.


Hergstag, Village, 10 miles NW of Lepidstadt.

From Pharast 15 to Pharast 29 of 4710, the Beast of Lepidstadt is accused of abducting and murdering Allen Jager, Gaard Bruin, Karin Stonebrau , Maarten Kanwald, Rachel Kanwald, and Ellsa Meyer.  The victims were all children between the ages of 7 and 13, and are believed to have been lured or abducted from their homes at night.  The morning after the disappearance of Ellsa Meyer, the Beast approached Hergstag in broad daylight, carrying the child's corpse and roaring with laughter.  The villagers were able to drive it away, after which it did not return.

Hergstag has since been abandoned, and is allegedly haunted by the spirits of the murdered children.  Witness testimony will be delivered by Garrow Torwald, Starle Torwald, and Flicht Torwald (currently residing in Lepidstadt) on Wealday, Lamashtan 12.

Titus claims the children were killed by a dark shadowy figure.  It claims to have seen the figure lure Ellsa into a cave near the village, drain the life out of her, and turn her into the same type of undead as itself.  Titus provided directions to the cave: it's set into the nearby hill, near a scarecrow.

Karb Isle Sanctuary, located on an isthmus 2 miles North of Lepidstadt.

On Sarenith 2, 4710, the Beast of Lepidstadt is accused of killing Dr Sebastian Brada and six patients in an arson attack.  The Doctor's assistant, Karl Eisen, witnessed the Beast of Lepidstadt fleeing the scene.  Karl Eisen, who was permanently blinded by his injuries, is scheduled to testify on Oathday, Lamashtan 13.

Karl Eisen was the sole beneficiary of the doctor's will.  He lives a small house near the river in Lepidstadt.


-As a flesh golem, the Beast must have been brought to life by someone, but it refuses to identify it's creator.


-The Beast was caught apparently trying to steal from the University of Lepidstadt's department of antiquities, and captured by Professor Montagnie Crowl.  Why the Beast was there is unclear, and the rumours surrounding it's arrest make it hard to know what happened.

-As Lepdistadt's leading scholar of antiquities, Dr Crowl often meets with investigators and adventurers to identify and purchase any historical finds.  While a respected academic and a fairly skilled wizard, he's far from an intimidating battlemage:  Instead, he's a short, soft, excitable man with a tendency to wave his arms around wildly when he talks.  The going rumour is that he somehow managed to seize control of the Beast with magic, holding it in place until help arrived.  He can be commonly found at the university, and lives on campus.
