Jonas Commonwood

A patron of the Snapping Line Inn during the plot of Down Came a Blackbird - Part 2: A Night in Moon Lantern

This fisherman has fish-hook piercings down both earlobes and sits sipping ale by the fireplace with a somber crew of five more peasants. They’re drinking to Jonas’s twin brother, George, who was found dead in his hut outside of town last night. Jonas, holding a stub of charcoal, wants to write a eulogy for his brother but he’s struggling with the words. The group are wary of strangers and are surly with the characters when they approach. Characters who are respectful can find out about the eulogy and offer to help. If they can ask a few questions about George’s life and come up with a four-line citation, Jonas is grateful and opens to them about his brother’s untimely demise.

• For more than a week before his death, George claimed he saw a rowboat sailing across the sky at twilight; Jonas had put this down to hallucinations from a bad batch of blackthorn wine.
• Whoever or whatever it was that attacked George had ripped out his heart.
• George’s hut was upturned but nothing was taken.
• Marshman Gebbo, a reclusive trapper, was also found dead outside of town two nights ago, under the same vicious circumstances.

Gebbo and George are victims of the initial savage hunt for the peryton egg undertaken by Salty Maude and Kraggen. Both men were unfortunate enough to live close to the site where the egg went missing and their dwellings were the first bloody ports of call.
