Rumors...

A trio of locals saunter by, murmuring amongst themselves, "I hear it's someone taking women as a sacrifice to take over the lands with demons." One of the locals laughs nervously as they continue to walk by.

A duo of women passes by you saying, "I hear it's a beast of a man taking all these girls, getting rid of the uglies in our cities." The second girl pipes up, "Yeah? Well, I heard the aunt and uncle hired someone to kill their niece because they didn't want to take care of a crippled anymore." The two girls giggle as they go on their way.

A large group of patrons walk by, murmuring amongst themselves, "I hear the aunt and uncle hired someone to kill their niece, they were tired of taking care of her. You know she was missing an arm?" Their voices drown out as they move on.

After the newest murders of the Goldspire family on Teras Isle, and believing all the murders to have been committed by the same individual(s) or creature(s), Investigator Cogsmead Gizmo has urged the cities of Wehnimer's Landing, Kraken's Fall, Zul Logoth, and Teras Isle to put in place a curfew for the residents. A curfew will start at sunset in these four cities. Citizens are urged to stay inside and try not to wander. Any individuals found wandering after curfew will be taken in for questioning. City officials say that once the murderer or murderers are caught and brought to justice, the curfew will be lifted.

The twin sisters, Heliantha and Roseantha patrolled the streets of Wehnimer's Landing at the behest of the Lady Daenamaryllis. The twins encouraged others to join them on their patrol via the amunet but were met with ridicule and indifference by their fellow adventurers. Saddest of all was the disgraced former marshall of Wehnimer's Landing, Jaired Delone, deriding the efforts of the twins to keep the good citizens of Wehnimer's Landing safe at night. Unfazed, the twins patrolled the streets of Wehnimer's Landing for several hours and advised citizens to stay indoors where it is safe and to report any suspicious persons to Investigator Cogsmead Gizmo.
