We head to the Harmonium’s guildhall
We immediately lie to the receptionist and ask to speak with the investigator
There’s dust and white powder mixed in, surrounding a footprint, underneath a book called something like “Problem on Harmonium Street”
The victim had robes
The white powder is talcum powder
Crime Scenes:
The Hovel on Blood Boil
The Bunkhouse on Powder’s Row
The Asencion Drinking Hall
The City Court Library
Harmonium Street
The Parted Veil Bookshop
We meet Facial Hashkar, a higher-up
Keluk, the bookshop victim, was a member of the Athar
The Library Victim was a member of The Facals: Murked by 4 slashes by a large sword
One of the Dabus is cleaning the same book repeated: powers and demi powers, the bloodstains being on divine ascension.
There was black pearl dust- from some necromantic spell
Kesto, the bookshop owner, might know about talc because it’s used for paper storage
Some of the other scrolls that Fassal had were essentially trade reports
Some of the victims were claimed to have been missing body parts
One victim was still alive and “Named their Killer”
Talc is stored in Gossif’s Paints, Penbrum’s Parchments and papers,
We meet Hovel, a sketchy half-elf who tells us their crimes
A confident and wild-haired man is following us
The bookstore victim was a githzerai with a paper pinned to their clothes
The Murderer drained red planar energy from the corpse
“Chaos is the only law, washed clean in the blood of order”
The Mercykillers are known as the Red Death
The Woman was from the Harbinger House
