From Kraddock They/ Them, Jails:


Language: Common

Havi Stagthorn,

As you requested, I've sent one of my guards to get this to you.

Something went wrong at the jail, our magical wardings had been broken, after we had all

woken from what must have been a sleep spell.

We've managed to work out that it was around 11:30am (same day 30th).

I don't know if you recall, but we had a Dwarf imprisoned at the back with some Elves, and

some Lizardfolk.

When we awoke, we found the Dwarf gone,

Please do not share with the party before the game begins.

Not only that, buy the assassin Jernay's tongue removed with the words "CONTRACT IN

PROGRESS" carved into their chest. Since being attacked, they've been behaving a little

differently.

The only thing we remember before falling asleep was a humanoid standing by Dwarf's cell,

in a black cloak with bits of yellow mold (?), Saying "You will be useful",

We thought we could hear bells ringing but whatever it was, was out of our view.

That's all we could piece together.


The Dwarf who escaped,

Olok Wright He/ Him,

Looks like this:

We got our mage Keledek The Unspoken He/ Him, to check everything is in order again.

The Commander is furious, as am I! And there's to be a council meeting at their hall, as soon

as they're all able to converge.

Later on, Councillor Anders Solmor He/ Him, and his butler Skerrin He/ Him, came by as well

before heading to the meeting.

All the guards are now out scouring for the Dwarf (his crime was that he was arrested for

murder, before escaping).

No one can enter the village without being searched and questioned, standard protocol

during these situations.

(Which will be a nightmare due to early arrivals and so on, for tomorrow being the

Greengrass festival).

I'm giving you a code for you and your party,

and that will be the key to entering, and interacting with the guards as proof of being okay.

(Other merchants and the like, need to have proof of papers etc.)

"Got to be back in time"

And the guard will respond with: "So long as you're not chicken"

I'll be staying at the jail, see if I can pick up any more clues.
