We as writers have access to that cop-out we like to call "Time Skip". I would prefer we not use it until it becomes necessary,and finding nothing would be a bit anticlimactic since we've put a bit of effort into this little sidequest so far. So, either we turn up with something, like, say, the remains of the victim but no villain, or we actually find the perpetrator as well, and cut away on the searching time through timeskippery as necessary. That is my proposal at least.

^^ With Spell Cards? Yeah, sure.

^ Yeah...I didn't plan for this to be more than some foreshadowing, but some kind of resolution would be good.

Perhaps we should just find the corpse nearby...or part of it, if the killer is eating humans as you say.

Then I believe we've narrowed it down to a simple matter of choice, gents. Vote time: Just a body, or a confrontation with the killer in question?

Body. Gives opportunity for a stinger unseen by the team.

Body. Same reason as Colonial.

I say body too, unless anyone is willing to make a throwaway character for the sakes of a quick fight.

How about a feral youkai named Sneel? (Pronounced the same way as snail, except with the a replaced with an e) Small critter, looks like a cross between a human child and an imp, male, and prone to bluffing. It's helped him survive so far, as he isn't that strong or powerful.

Nay. Chabal is among the least schemey people in this thread.

Just my way of saying I liked his idea about the DNA Evidence.

Er, anyway, I'm here now, but I'll be gone for a bit later, so if anybody needs me for anything, speak now, or forever for two hours hold your peace.

...if he isn't that strong, how would he be able to inflict the wounds he did?

I also support just finding the body.

^ I never said Sneel was the one who was the murderer, just a youkai thinking these intruders are in his territory.

Of course, he could know something about the murderer if you want...

It seems most votes are in favour of simply finding a body. I suggest we go with that.

  • 1.) Party finds Body.
  • 2.) Sneel shows up.
  • 3.) Conversational banter.
  • 4.) Party beats Sneel.
  • 5.) ???
  • 6.) PROFIT!

That works too I guess.

Reginald would have been out-of-place.

Just so you know, Sneel will try to bluff. A lot.

Of course, when he sees he's losing, he's gonna try and make an exit. Try and stop him please?

I kind of wanted some more build up though...

Further build up not necessary at this juncture. Would only have served as a drag-out, which I am sure you are aware isn't really likely to be appreciated.

For added fun, imagine Sneel speaking in a higher, more nasally version of Gollum.

^ Don't worry, I think I can bring it up.
