Peace be upon you, Civilar Stellpence. We've heard reports that the Watch has determined the identity of the infamous Black Viper. Can you comment on that?Civilar Stellpence
"No." Stellpence's reply is no surprise. She's not known for being chatty, but at the suggestion that everyone descends on Snail Street watchhouse she becomes positively loquacious.
"..and if I find any of thee hangin' about the watchhouse, I'll arrest ye for loiterin'. Let us do our job, and when we have owt to say then we'll make statement.
...or thee can go t' Flounder and ply a blabby officer with drink like the rest o' thee gutterpress."
"Mine's a pint of mild." suggests Constable Notts despite Stellpence's glare.
The Friendly Flounder is the usual haunt for off-duty watch officers. The beer wasn't great, but it served the fried food that all watch officers craved after a long shift.
Armar Dagsohn
"We're actually supposed to say 'lycanthropes' or 'people with lycanthropy' now. Official vocab guidelines state that 'werewolf' is too bestial." Interjects Dagsohn. Nobody contradicts him. It's possible that Dagsohn is the only officer ever to have read the official vocab guidelines.
"But Beorne has ursine lycanthropy." says Dagsohn.
"Werebear" coughs Constable Notts, which Dagsohn ignores.
"Murderin' Zhent werebear" adds Stellpence, which prompts Dagsohn to start quoting the law that states that gang membership isn't, in itself, a crime.
Your little knot continues south along the busy High Road, dodging drays, ignoring street sellers, and avoiding the stinkiest of horse apples.
Inspector Glor
At the watchhouse, a black maria watch wagon arrives. Officers get down to open the barred door and remove three suspects - suspects who are covered in blood and Zhentarim gang tattoos. After the wagon, an open-backed cart arrives, driven by goblin Inspector Glor. The back is piled with corpses, many also bearing gang tattoos.
Stellpence mutters something about more paperwork, raises a warning finger for you not to follow her, and then takes her suspect into the Snail Street Watch.
The bloody suspects are also taken into the watchhouse as the goblin starts making notes in his notebook.
