User blog:Stormwell/Tresh Street Runners Case No.6 "Dirty Deeds"

"An iron road will see trice men fall."


 * - Oracle Evelyn Grimes, Oracular Order.

Really more of an investigative than a combat one.

A series of businessmen have been turning up dead, all connected by owning the land over which a new railway line is to be built. The company that wishes to build the railway has been trying to get hold of the deeds to the land in question, in addition to forcibly evicting people from the slums that also lie along the proposed route.

One of the dead men was a friend of Magistrate Mattius Cathmore, the chap who created the Runners. Magistrate Cathmore charges the Runners to investigate his friend's death and also the other dead men, which in turn would lead to the railway company.
