Chapter 1: Harvest Moon

@ Deturai, Isuna: Both of you can easily see the upended furniture, a smashed pot, and a small trail of blood leading into the kitchen. As Deturai's words carry over the silence, some shifting movement can be heard coming from that direction, before the metallic sound of a pot hitting the floor rings out. No one stops the pot from spinning on the floor either.

@ Deturai: The blood leading to the kitchen glistens in the light, apparently fresh. The furniture in the main room in large part has been strewn about, and one or two pieces show actual damage. The silence is palpable, nothing moves or makes a sound since the pot. Keeping your own footsteps nearly silent makes silence ring in your ears until you make out a whisper of a murmur, also coming from the kitchen, which is interrupted by a loud splashing sound.
@ Isuna: If you follow Deturai, I would like a stealth check as well.
@ Chuton, Carlin: Please join in the "Raccoon Fight" thread. I believe it is now Carlin's turn.

@ Isuna: Fair enough, haha.

@ Deturai: As you crack open the kitchen door to pper inside, you see pots, pans, dishes and cutlery laying scattered all over the counters and floor. The fresh blood is also scattered in like fashion. Prea stands with her back to you at a large sink. Her arms move up and down as she plunges her mother's head into the dirty dishwater. Mellia's arms are not fighting back. Blood... you hear her say, with another dunk. She apparently hasn't noticed you.

Deturai and Isuna exit the inn, Prea over Deturai's shoulder and Lietha in tow. Prea is unconscious and bound. Isuna has a bag of spices. Carlin, riding her broom, with just a bit of black tar, and Chuton, walking with a spattering of blood on his boots, approach from the outside of town. All of you are outside the inn now.

@ Deturai: The remaining cooks assisstant's look at you with some confusion, apparently expecting you to come back with someone, or to stay and add the spices yourself, but accept your instructions.

@ Everyone else: Lietha speaks up in a shaky voice. I think they should be waking up in the elder's hall now... But, but what's going to happen?
