General Summary
Suspicion runs deep sometimes. Alagad Luhan , certain that Francois Frollbie was responsible for the death of Hilda Gurty's husband, hatched a plan to confront him. With Havoc Windsbreath acting as a distraction to bring Hilda out of her home Alagad led Francois through her home and down the trap door to where Hilda's reanimated husband remained chained up. Francois explained that although he has known to Gurtys for some time, both of them having lived at this intersection for many years, he did not know the exact circumstances of Mr. Gurty's death, except that it transpired in the fields north of Provenance. The investigation intensified with the use of illusory magic and the involvement of Havoc in the questioning. Eventually boiling over into magical vines summoned by Fern and an altercation as Francois tried to return to his own home.
However, the truth came to light. There had been no wrongdoing on Francois' part, Hilda confirmed her husband died on the road to Carcassonne. The pay promised by Francois was of course retracted and his discontent was obvious. During the confusion and conrontation, Havoc attempted to dispatch the decrept Gurty himself and enraged the creature, causing it to fight against its constraints. In all the chaos as Havoc returned upstairs the Screamer and the previously tied up wererat escaped down the drain.
