Gameplay 1 - Red Vengeance

"Excuse me madam... do you have a few minutes to talk about what happened to him." Ataan states a little apologetic to the mother slightly disappointed and envious of the child.

The child immediately quiets, fear in his eyes. The mother darts a glance at you, and shuffles the child behind her. "Who are you, sir?"

"Ataan Sezen, someone seeking the truth behind this death as well as several others that have recently happened."

Cecily appears from behind Ataan, her footsteps silent and voice calm. "And I am Cecily, his...partner."

She softens with your manners, and says, "I don't know nothin' about awl of that. Reverend Jeffrey Timothy, and Squire Hardwickle, the Magistrate, will nae more aboot it. It's just that John, me husband, he died in the street, found 'im pale as a sheet, yesterday morn. I dinnae know what to do, but we'll manage. Somehow."

"Pale...did they tell you if he suffered any wounds? Or a loss of blood?"

"Also how was his facial expression did look like he was asleep or in pain? Was the body limp like he feel asleep or constricted and scrunched up... My apologies if it sounds odd but since you found him it might give us an idea of clues as to what happened the officials may have overlooked." Attan adds in after Meldrum inquires about why he was possibly pale.

The woman suddenly has to deal with a screaming child. She says "I don't know any of that!" chases them down and drags them away.

"Guess I was too curious..." Ataan laments with a frown, "To Reverend Jeffrey Timothy, and Squire Hardwickle?" he finally comments looking to Meldrum.

Cecily rubs her temples, whether it's from the screaming kid or her disappointment is in the air. "The Reverend, although I am no longer holding my breath."

The reverend is the cloaked figure then Cecily?

"People can only tell us what they know and understand, sometimes not both." Ataan tries to offer up with a shrug as he begins the walk to the church.

At the church, you find the Reverend cleaning the place, replacing candles. He takes your note, and bids you welcome.

Cecily remains respectful, nodding to the Reverend as they approach.

"Good day Reverend, we are travelers who have noticed a tragedy has befallen this locale."

The reverend agrees, nodding his head with sad eyes. He looks like he wants to say more, but decorum keeps his tongue still.

What are Praise God and Gerald up to?

Cecily moves a step closer, looking behind for any bystanders. Once satisfied her voice lowers in volume as she continues. "We wish to help. You must know these occurrences are far from mundane."

Praise God and Gerald head to John Prestwick's house to speak to the widow.

After taking stock of the responses of the townfolk, Praise God turns to his companion, "I'm not sure how much more we can extract from the victims' families. What say we reconnect with the others to inform them of the hooded figure?"
