A series of unusual events

A series of unusual events

Postby Dulcie » Tue Apr 21, 2009 1:56 pm

A series of strange and unusual events have seemed to be starting amongst the people of Myrkenwood.

The first of these strange events was an attack made on Glenn Burnie by local farmer Frank Phillips, who seemed intent on accusing Glenn of sleeping with his wife. Gossip would have spread about the town that Maggie Phillips his wife, had been turned out of their home that very night. She would have taken up residence with some friends, completely mystified by her husband's behavior.

Accusations made against the Governor

Postby Berdini » Sat Apr 25, 2009 9:47 am

Posters begin turning up around the town of Myrken titled:

"Where are all of Myrken's Children? Could the Governor be selling them to the highest bidder?"

The words would be followed by an image of a crudely drawn monster chewing on an infant baby. A number of the posters have small smudges of blood somewhere on the edges of them.

Rumours were also beginning to circulate, first that the Governor was selling children to some monster to stave off an attack, the act being facilitated by Rhaena Olwek. Glenn Burnie seemed now to be rumoured as the emissary to the monster, though when pressed for details no one would really seem to be able to give any specifics over what exactly was supposed to be going on.

"Missing children, mmph mmph?"

Earlier this afternoon, Aloisius Treadwell rocked gently by the fireplace in the main room of his toy shop, wearing that purple padded vest, long-sleeved, billowy-armed shirt, and matching trousers he usually preaches in; the accompanying robe and miter hung neatly on racks next to the entrance to the kitchen. He'd been hearing such rumors for the last day or so, and they were rumors he'd simply shrugged off. If there's a man who knows exactly how many children are in Myrken Wood, he is the one. From having had some odd mystical knowledge of such several years ago (powers long denied, now) to simply knowing where all their parents lived and how many of the little rascals were being birthed monthly as part of his role of tax collector to watching a good half a dozen play merrily across the room of toys with their parents watching tiredly, Tready knows a thing or two about children. In fact, one of his own infants rested snuggled up and sleeping, tucked into the side of the old tub's billowy belly.

"Missing children. Hmph! Next, someone will be saying I'd eaten them myself!"
"Looks like a table to me. Do you think it could hold up someone as bulbous as Treadwell?" -- Dr. Brennan, Myrken Wood Rememdium Edificium

Treadwell is a little off the mark - someone already has said that exact thing. Fortunately for him, that particular girl was not one to go spreading rumors around.

The unfortunate case of Maggie Phillips would make news throughout the town. Brutally murdered in a fit of rage by her husband Frank, the farming community of Myrkenwood has been left baffled and confused. By the time the Constables had taken control of Frank he was practically incoherent, repeatedly babbling about his wife having an affair with some man. No one seems able to have tracked down the truth on the matter, but the family and friends of the Phillips insist that Maggie was nothing but an honest and faithful wife. Thrown into a cell at the gaol Frank has provided no one with any further statement about his motives.

It was only through Rhaena Olwak's best efforts that Glenn Burnie, upon hearing news of the murder, did not come down to the gaol and beat the imprisoned man, who had blamed him for his wife's straying, within an inch of his life.

On the very same evening Dylan Dewitt, a merchant who had taken up residence in the Dagger was transported to the Rememdium with the statement that he had complained about demons in the walls, attacked various people inside the Dagger and proceded to attempt to burn down the building. He is currently under close watch at the Rememdium but continues to ramble about demons in the wall during any of his waking hours and for the most part has had to be kept confined. Prior to this unfortunate event the other merchants at the market claimed that Dewitt had been friendly and more importantly sane, the last time they had seen him.

Trace, a local scholar in Myrkenwood entered the Broken Dagger screaming about wooleybears and accusing Glenn Burnie of consorting with them. Despite efforts to calm the young man down he threw himself on the floor and injured himself with shattered glass while threatening the barmaid. Glenn and an unidentified woman brought Trace to the Rememdium where he is now amongst a number of others suffering from the same symptoms.
