Investigate {Bizzie's Body: <Technical>}



H-hey, my splinters!
You don't leave the inspect the body until Lillian is nearly back. You hope nothing happens to your splinters while you are gone, but nobody would take your stuff, surely, so you give it little thought before you set off.

It takes you a while to get to the site, but when you do, you feel a sense of grimness take a hold of you. There is nobody there currently, but a sad wind sweeps through, blowing away some of the bandages that were once wrapping Bizzie's body. You approach it cautiously, taking a look at the morbid site of a creature drained of all his moisture. He looks monstrous, eyes shrivelled, skin cracked, and a look of pure dread on his face. You want to turn away, but duty calls.

You spend some time inspecting the body, and you can conclude with certainty that this is the Stalker Repose's doing. It robbed Bizzie of his moisture, essentially drying out until his body could no longer function, then wrapped him tightly in bandages and gauze strips. It seems to you like some strange mummifying ritual, but you try not to attach any sense to it. Stalkers don't act with sense or reason; they just kill.

Embedded into Bizzie's back is a strange item that gives of a demonic aura. You have no idea why it was left there, whether it was by mistake or as a taunt to whoever found his body, but you figure you better hang onto it in case it has any use.

There is nothing further you can gather from examining the body, so you leave the scene as it is, and manage to get word sent to Shilamora. You head back to the clubhouse as the sun begins to rise. You feel like you're going to be scarred by this for a long time to come.


Don't forget you have a proper action for the day, too @Truly! That was a free action.
