User blog:Stormwell/Thresh Street Runners Case No.12 "Petals on the Water"

''Petals, petals on the water Tell me, tell me, where's your daughter?''


 * -Rhyme of the Rosewater Hag

Following on from the Hounds of Lydsworth case the Runners are making their return back to Dunwall, though stopping at a village inn for the night here gossip about a number of young girls from the local villages being found drowned under myserious cirmcumstances. Questioning the local village constable the Runners discover that the girls had been found drowned in local ponds with their necks nicked and scratched as if by a collar of thorns, also the girls died not long after they had brought a trinket made from whalebone from a 'gypsy woman'.

If they investigate the bodies they will find that a locket of hair had been taken from each of the girls, either way the trial should lead to the gypsy woman who is Lilika. Then it is a simple case of arresting her for multiple counts of murder and taking her to Coldridge.
