[A letter from the Greywatch]

[SpiffyMeister]

A Murder occurred some time tonight in Eveningstar, the victim was found beheaded near the stables behind the Lonesome Tankard.

The victim appears to an older woman named Ms. Clark, a long time resident and gossip of Eveningstar. It would appear the woman was initially attacked while investigating a disturbance from the stables, where the horses had be disturbed by something.

The perpetrator is assumed to have walked along the outskirts of the town, likely using the stable as a place to lay low, but startled the horses which prompted them to hide. The perpetrator left several things behind that hinted at their abilities, age, and state.

* A trained tracker/stalker

* Used A short blade, and a Larger sword. Likely a Great sword.

* Carried with them a variety of tools

* The tracks lead me to believe they are young, or slight of build.

* An acidic slimy substance permeated the area they traveled.

An examination of Ms. Clark's body uncovered these findings.

* One Small blade wound to the front.

* Two Small blade wounds to the back.

* A final decapitation with a larger heavy blade.

The attack seemed to have started with an initial use of the small blade, toward her front likely when she came near the assailant hiding in the stables, when the victim fled she was struck twice more in the back and finally finished off with a larger heavier blade just behind the Lonesome Tankard. The final strike decapitated Ms. Clark.

Someone unknown to the Militia was spotted fleeing rapidly from Eveningstar headed toward the Storm horns, they appeared to be moving fast enough to assume they were ensorcelled with some level of speed. There is also evidence that the assailant used the cavern system below Eveningstar, several slime ichor were found below. I am left to assume that this is how they became so entrenched in the substance, but under further investigation this appears inconclusive.

Of my suspects, I find the possibility of it being Raven Rawen to be the most likely, considering the man's skills, his choice in weapons and the likely hood this wasn't premeditated, but something that occurred in the haste of being discovered in Eveningstar.

For now I'll be keeping these findings to myself and this record.

I was accompanied by Precept Victoria, Bloodhound Ydira and Luckbringer Grete. The Precepts had arrived a few minutes before myself, I arrived shortly after the call was made by High Lord Myrkyr.

I have been passed a glove that is doused in slime by the Councilor Ethel Blythe, i was to pass it to the greywatch personel but have not seen them yet.

I was unsure whether it was an attempt to mislead me and the investigation. I do not like being used as a delivery boy but as this had ramifications for the village and therefore the temple i took the glove.

The greywatcher has shown me the trail that was made and described some of the details above to me, though he did not reveal that the raven was his suspect to me.

I have not seen the raven fight and do not know his prefered style, so would have to look for others to corroborate.
