Today! ???? - Jack J. Game Summary for Sunday (05/17/2020): Opening Scene: Day 1: April 27; 10:30
am: Eofor,
goes to his desk, opens a ledger, and begins to read from it, “It was four
months five days ago that
Elgin’s gang was brought in. They numbered seven in total. All of them had
their throats torn
out, as well as being stabbed, by a sword like the one Elgin is known to carry.
This is actually
something that is common to all but one of Elgin’s victims.” Eofor
turns to the next page in the ledger and says, “Next, a week later, Torr
brought in Froda and Wulfgar. They
owned a farm west of the village. Froda was the only one of Elgin’s victim’s to
not have her throat torn out
and be stabbed. She had the back of her skull crushed.” The
undertaker continued reading to the bottom of the page and then said, “And, oh
yes, there was Jaspen the carpenter. He was brought in two days after Froda and
Wulfgar. They said he had been working on a house for a newlywed couple, when
he was killed. Once again, stab wounds and his throat ripped out.” Eofor
licked his middle finger, and turned another page before continuing, “After
that, Elgin went to ground for almost three months. Then he killed Oslaf, a
shepherd from north of town. Like the others, he was stabbed, and his throat
was torn out. Finally, just three days ago, they brought me Donno. They say he
was a Jeweler from Liara, who would come to the village every couple of months
to trade with the locals. He’s out on my cart now, ready to go in the ground”. After
Eofor says all of that he adds, “So knowing all that, do you have any leads? Do
you think you will have Elgin caught soon?” No
one in the party currently has any leads to mention to Eofor. Estrel
notes, "So,
let me get this straight... Attacks were 125 days ago; 118 days ago; 116 days
ago; 26 days ago and 3 days ago? Is that correct? Just looking for a pattern,
but I don't see one. Certainly not one that coincides with the moon or
anything" After
the they leave the office, and exit, they have Estrel look at the neck wound on
Donno’s body, and all he could tell was that it appears to be a canine of some
sort. After
leaving the graveyard, the party loops back through Kellee one more time before
heading up to Alee-Onna’s cottage and meet Fflur, a young woman in her late
teens. Her plain face is framed by her pageboyhaircut. Her hair is thick and
light brown. She is wearing a green skirt and yellow tunic that istucked under
her blue leather belt. She is carrying what looks like a small wagon wheel in
her left hand. It is only about a foot and a half across. Estrel
asked about the wheel and here it is for a wool spinner wheel for making
thread, of which she just had repaired. Fflur
is asked about Elgin and her response was, “All I know is he was seeing
Alee-Onna and the folk here believe he murdered folks. I don't know anything
more really.”, "I doo-nuta know how Alee-Onna keeps going. Hit be more
than I could bare losing a love like that.” Heading
up to the cottage was a two hour trip walking and no encounters occurred along
the way. It
is located north-east of Kellee at the foot of a tall snowcapped mountain. A
well-worn foot path leads to it from the Timori Road. Behind the home is an
apple orchard. They
see the orchard is clear of foliage overgrowth, until it gets to the far side
border. There is an open window with shutters on the west side and a chimney on
the east side along with a well, laundry tub, clothing lines and a well. Estrel
had gone to the side window to peek in and see what is going on inside and sees
Alee-Onna, inside at the door with a dagger in hand, talking with the party
through the barred door. Alee-Onna
Says, "Is that
you Onela? Do you have any bread with you?" Duncan
says, "Naw its not
Onela, but we do have food for ya" Izabel
says, “"I'm Izabel, we were sent to deliver the food by Onela." Alee-Onna
says, “ Says,
"So you have spoken to Onela? Can you tell me what she looks like?” Duncan
first says, “Blonde hair, blue eyes, dresses in a blue and white dress.” Alee-Onna
says, “Onela doesn’t have blonde hair!” Duncan
then says, “Brown hair under a white cloth, plain brown dress.” Alee-Onna
says, “Ok, so maybe you know her. Why did Onela send you and not come herself?”
Estrel
chimes in mentioning Aelswith the InnKeeper of the Tall Mug, as Izabel
describes her as, “Rather portly, blonde hair, wears a tan and green dress,
rather kind to.”
