DAY 2
I know the other two are up to something, but I'm not sure what, and I'm not sure I want to know.
But anyway, that morning I went to my guard post and reported the events of yesterday to my Civilar
Jinsie.
I then wandered over to the house were the event took place and saw two watchmen guarding it. I knew
one of them, a woman called Hilda (she is well known in the watch as a good story teller and entertainer)
and over some pies I picked up more of the story.
It turns out there was a family of four living in the basement of this terrace house and all but the
daughter had been murdered. She had fled the scene and was probably the shapeshifter that we had seen
running off the night before.
They also told me they were very 'hairy' which I took to mean they may have been were- creatures,
possibly were-rats.
I talked to the pie seller and then eventually found some of the other residents in the Unicorn's
Horn, a tavern where the watch were keeping them.
I talked to them, revealing I was a watchman, but not letting on I was part of any official investigation.
They told me the family were the 'Filthy' Maknaztey's and were probably dung sweepers.
Later I met the guys at the Throat and we went along to the Dung sweepers guild be the grumpy old git
that worked there didn't have them on his books. The could have been sewer workers then or just simple
criminals.
Feeling this wasn't really getting us anywhere we decided to go along to a contact of Raya's and see
if he had any work for us.
He did, as it happened, and he sent us along to Downy Beard's Tobacconists where he had a 'vermin'
problem. We went down into his storage cellar and soon stirred out two rodents of unusual size and
four of more normal proportions.
The combat, if you could call it that, did not last long and they were all dead once I'd chopped them
up and Raya had shot them.
The most startling thing though, was when Fenrir killed off one by shooting a magic bolt of purple
energy from his hands. He'd warned us beforehand that he might do this, but I'd just assumed he was
lying. I decided to check later on what sort of magic that was.
Anyway, 90 gold was not at all bad payment for such short work and we went back to Raya's guy to
give him his cut and then back to the pub.
