RAVENLOFT: The One That Got Away OOC

[steveflam]

I'm all for heading outside.

[ewancummins]

Okay, scene updates up.



BENN and DORGIO

can make any investigative rolls they like: search, knowledge, survival (tracking), etc.




Ditto the other subparty.


Thom is presumably inside Benn's house, maybe talking with the women or Hornsby. Or not? I leave that up to Mike.



If you guys would please use headers, that'd be great.


THE GARRET

THE ALLEY


BENN'S DINING ROOM

VIEW CONTENT:

Sara spots an animal snuffing along the cobbles in the street behind the house. Four legs, black, bigger than a typical Pont a Mouseau stray dog and way bigger than an alley cat.
But no sooner than she spots it, the creature glances at her, its eyes catching and reflecting the moonlight, and then races out of sight to the left.

I assume Benn and Dorgio have the wherewithal to do the police trick of not including every detail of the murders in the press for future identification. Is there something like that, and do we see the appropriate signs here?

Reasonable assumption.

It is not identical to any one killing, but very close. And Matyr's killings were not all identical. He dispatched a Falkovnian guard in the Sancerre house by cutting his throat from behind.
Evangeline was not tortured --- but he did not have time to do that, with the house patrolled by hired Falkovnians and guarded by (part of) the party.
The pattern here closely resembles the murder of the gypsy dancing girl, Esmeralda, whose death you initially blamed on Gaston Van Diecks.
And the killing of a prostitute at the Lorelei, before that.


If BENN and Dorgio go back over the pamphlet (The Woman-Killer) and any old notes they kept from the original crimes, they may learn more.

[Adam]

Hmm. Well I'll have to see later, then.

You guys may be able to improve your questioning of the landlord with a Gather Information roll.

In the time since first arrival, has Raen heard rumors about Wererats?

'Les rats-garous' are creatures he has heard of, but never seen. Huge rats that wear the skins of murdered men and so take on human likeness.
They led the rodent armies in the old war or vermin and men, when Richemulot was first settled.
These horrid monsters suffer from lunacy, like some unfortunate souls cursed by gypsies and some mad-women Raen has heard of.
A silver holy symbol of Ezra is a good charm against them, if one's heart is pure.
