I made a small doc to organize my thoughts for the quest and thought I'd share it. Let me know if I missed anything.
>>The Ravensheugh case
Small village was exposed to the Veil and shrouded in fog. Cause turned out to be the desecration of the burial mound of the village’s guardian spirit underneath the mill. Necromancers suspected. The mill was also the scene of an ‘accident’ in which a worker maimed his arm in between the mill’s stones. Talking to the injured worker later showed that he was very traumatized and speaking incomprehensibly. Brehm suspects possession caused the worker to maim himself which would imply a spirit was around before the accident.
Current suspects are a group of traveling laborers that were at the village during the accident and left right afterwards. The maimed worker, Joel, spent the most time with them before his accident, playing ‘betting games’. Brehm suspects ‘Dho Games’ as they can breach the Veil if taken too far and open one’s mind to possession. This line of thought can account for Joel’s alleged possession and subsequent accident. The identities and descriptions of these laborers are unknown save one bit of information: One of the laborers has burn scars on the left side of his face with the ear destroyed. The last lead we have is that the doctor overheard the laborers talk about a ‘Greyridge’. Only Lucas has this piece of information at the moment.
>Notes/Questions
-Was Joel’s maiming necessary to the desecration of the burial mound? Blood sacrifice to complete the ritual or was it just a sadistic spirit?
-Was Ravensheugh targeted because it had no priest? No one that could clue in what was happening below the mill before it was too late? Could possibly look into why Ravensheugh’s request for a replacement priest seemed to fall on deaf ears and maybe get one dispatched.
-Priest’s papers are still back in the archive. Might give insight on why Ravensheugh was attacked specifically if it wasn’t just opportunism because it didn’t have a priest looking after it.
-Joel’s mad mumbling talked about a burning forest, eerily similar to Lucas’ dream. Lucas mentioned the dream being about home. Possible connection. Is something happening in Lucas' hometown?
