Hemlock opens his mouth and 'ohhh's when Kidra reveals her identity, "I-I am here to investigate the mystery, not really affiliated with the law enforcers here, no." He quickly trots after her when she takes off, afraid he'll lose sight of her again.
Sitting down on a bench too short for him, opens his notebook on his knees and furiously starts taking notes, "hmm, mhmm, interesting, what a twist... A demon possessed your brother? What did it look like? How is your brother now if you don't mind answering?"
“Two days ago. She came up to us the morning after their opening night, which was three days ago. I think.”
Group 2: Hemlock, Krix, Diaelle, Echo
“Oh he’s dead now. Dead as a dumb doorknob. The demon took ‘im,” she replies somewhat nonchalantly. She stands up, steadying herself as the rocking chair moves beneath her, and sits on the edge of one of the arms. “It looked like it was made of sumkinda gas, like the poisonious ones. Purple. He breathed it right in an’ that’s how it got ‘im.”

Krix listens thoughtfully, charmed by Kindra's earnestness. "I am sorry for your loss. I've dealt with my share of demonic possessions, and your brother's case strikes me as both unfortunate and unconventional. I would very much like to ask you more about it later. However, we are here regarding your poor neighbor. What can you tell you tell us about the night of her death? Anything out of the ordinary happen?"
Fizz startles with a gasp, "Another victim where? Here?" He looks around panicked as he rubs his eyes. It appears he fell asleep briefly and missed much of the conversation. He quickly looks at the binder and notebook as well as the photo he was handed. Being sharp minded he quickly puts the pieces back together and says after collecting himself and clearing his throat, "Do we have a name or location for this potential victim. If the deaths are occurring when people sleep we should find him tonight. He may not see another sunrise!"Fizz looks a bit sleepy but also rather worried and ready to move out to find this mysterious circus hand.

“Maybe,” Barryl scratches his chin as he considers what you said, Shel'lok. “Yul certainly seems to think so. That’s just about all I have for you right now, but it would be worth it to come back and talk to the investigative team and see what else they have. They’re heading off to Pisor tomorrow afternoon to talk to some people and get the results for some of the tests they’ve done. But, they should be here bright and early, so if you want to catch them that would be the time.”
"These people've been staying at the Lazy Peacock, the local inn. You're gonna have to ask Maggie or Alisa about where exactly it is they're staying."
Group 2: Krix, Echo, Diaelle
“So.” Her tone is unwavering, and she stares unblinkingly right at you, Krix. “Y’all’s want to talk about them murders. Now, people’ve come to me askin’ bout the same stuff, but I’ll tell y’all just like I told them. I’ll tell you what I know, unless I don’t know it. Then I won’t tell ya.” She clambers back down onto the seat of the rocking chair, and rocks back and forth in her seat. “Last night was a peculiar night. Now Elibyn’s never been a huge fan of my screamin’ time, and though she was nice ‘bout it she’d never listen to my advice. I’d tell her, ‘If y’all ever get attacked by a demon,’ and by ‘y’all’ I mean her ‘n’ her wife, ‘scream as loud as ya can. But make sure it ain't from fright.’ Cause y’see, them demons hate screaming if it ain’t from fright. She’d never done it before, until a day or two ago. I heard her screamin’ louder than a wet hen an’ I figured she was gettin’ attacked by a demon. Since she was screamin’ like that all I did was pray that it was workin’ but then she died. That’s all I know.”
“I see. Did anything seem off around here leading up to this or afterward? Anything strange you may have noticed but dismissed?” Diaelle leans forward in her seat, curious and anxious to learn more information. She fidgets with the ring on her finger and scratches her neck, examining the area nervously.
Diaelle whispers to Dhasfa in her mind, “So.. what do you make of all of this my friend?”
Lucky, who had been sitting to the side listening in silence, finally steps forward and sets the report down. Taking a deep breath and rubbing his eyes, he says, "I guess that settles it. We have an idea of what might be causing these deaths. I think we should head to the inn and ask them about the next victim." Shifting his exhausted eyes too Fizz, he'd say, "You seem pretty tired, you still up for this?"
"Thank you Barry you have been, as always, really useful I hope you have a quiet shift for the rest of the night" says She'lok to the policeman while standiung up and offering his hand to him for shaking.
" I do agree but I think it would be better to do it early in the morning. The hour is late and I think it would be better to get some rest and give the chance to the city to wake up. Tomorrow we will have a lot of places to visit and a lot of things to do. And perhaps the others have more information " says the hal-elf as they walk down the lonely street in the middle of the night.
"Nothin' strange. Had a couple I've never seen before over, but I jus' assumed they were doing couple-y things. Y'know, brunch." The last word comes out like 'bah-runch' with her thick-as-molasses accent. She continues rocking back and forth, her feet swinging in front of her. "They have people over often, when her wife's over. Travelin' nurse, is what Jez is. Not home half th' time. Dunno if Jez was here or not that day, though." She stops rocking, letting the chair come to a lulling stop. "I think tha's 'bout it." Somewhat satisfied with her tale, she puts her hands on her knees and sighs. After a few seconds, her eyes widen, "I fergot sum'in'. 'nother thing 'bout these demons, y'see, they go fer people wit' a lotta guilt. Turns people inta yeller-bellies and weak-willed folk, 'n' tha' gives these demons a way in."
Diaelle:
"Well, I've met with a few demons before I met you. I don't really recall anyone mentioning..." He makes a 'tsk' sound and sighs. "...the 'screaming' thing. And if I'm being entirely honest, it sounds a little like cuckoo talk to me. But, I've heard of demons who prey on people with unsavory feelings; feelings like guilt and sorrow. So that might be worth looking into."

Barryl takes your hand and gives it a good shake, his face beaming with pride. "Of course, sir! It was nice talking to you folk. The night shift gets boring often, and this was a nice change of pace." He sighs deeply, putting his hands on his hips. "If y'all need anything, anything at all, we're here to help. Mayor's orders or not." He waves good-bye to the three of you as you exit the building into the humid night.

Lucky looks at Shel'lok almost bewildered by the statement. As he exits the building, he looks lost in thought and a shred of worry dawns on his face. After a while of thought, he finally sighs and says, "I guess waiting until morning works. I would prefer to keep pushing forward but, you're right on one thing. It's late and this town is probably asleep." He looks at the ground as a bit of what looks like anxiety dawns on him. He quickly attempts to recollect himself before looking back at his group and saying, "We should probably go and find the rest of the group and let them know what we plan on doing."
“Well thank you Kidra. If that’s all you know we’ll leave you to your screaming or sleeping or whatever. We best be on our way and get some rest before continuing the investigation.” She stands and starts to leave, motioning for the rest of the group to come with her. If they follow once out of earshot from Kidra she stops. “Well… what are your thoughts about this?”
