Image: White Streaker Yeti Hair
The first big news of the day is that we have a new serial killer in Ptolus. And despite what my senile landlady thinks, that serial killer is not me.
You know how you can trust in my innocence? The serial killer mutilates his victims, which I think is impractical, and also adorns them with white Yeti hair, which I think is gross. I would never do either of those things; yet, I can’t complain that the White Streaker (yes, that’s what the newsprint has decided to call him) leaves behind these clues, because it will only make it easier to find him.
Oh, the second big news of the day is that the city has offered a bounty of 20,000 thrones for the capture of the White Streaker. Personally, that news is more meaningful.
I made some new friends today. There’s a performance-enhanced archer in town named Jonah who can’t stop talking about his bow strings. I met him over a few mugs of ale that we shared with a cleric named Axel Trolltank. I’m sure he’ll be useful if we ever encounter any trolls.
Then there are my new clients, a pair of merchant sisters named Isabel & Aella Drumwind. Aella is, for the moment, married to Earl Alistair Lanquist, a gentleman who apparently wants to kill them both.
I also became friends with a guy named Joseph, but that’s only because I cast the spell “Friends” on him, so I’m not sure that counts. Also I lied & told him my name was Corton. He probably hates me.
While I was busy with my White Streaker investigation, most of these new friends were trying to chase down a rogue behir. I’m not that into domesticated animals; I like snakes, but that behir has way too many legs to be a snake.Â
It turns out that this behir actually belongs to Earl Lanquist, and that he has offered a large reward for returning it alive. This piqued my interest—not just because of the reward, but because why does an Earl need a behir?
They found the behir. I haven’t yet found the White Streaker. But I did find a small lock of yeti hair. So gross.
