Anyone passing by the Stoutheart Clan's Tornbeard Hall on Kythorn the 8th will see the following scene...

Four children are propped up against the Hall door. These children are all corpses, their tiny, dirty faces caked in dried blood, their expression one of frozen horror and pain. They sit in a row, hands interlinked. Above them can be seen a smeared, crude message, written in what is undoubtedly their own blood, one word underlined and bolder than the rest:

YOUR ORDER, AS REQUESTED BY YOUR GREED, HOLY THANE

Telli stares in horror at the corpses, dropping the package destined for the Blue Mushroom. Unsure of what to do, she leaves the way she came and returns to Sanctuary, too in shock to know what to do about the poor children who died.

*Akevitt spends Hours cleaning up the atrocity, and after proper rites and preperation, carries the victems to the mauseleum, where many people see him speaking with the Watch for some time.*

*Watch Private Erin Larche then pays a visit to Tornbeard Hall itself, coming away with a bloodied shirt in hand for her trouble*

The following scene can be witnessed in front of the Tornbeard Hall on Kythorn the 10th.

A chubby little boy child is sitting on the ground, his back against the Tornbeard Hall doors. There is a gaping black hole in his chest around which the flesh is strangely dark and withered. His eyeballs have been carved out, dried blood clotting the empty sockets. Upwards from the corners of his little mouth, his cheeks have been split open in a way that makes him appear to be "smiling". One could safely assume that the child is dead.

In one of the boy's hands is a pencil, and in the other, a smudgy slip of paper with the following written on it in child-like scrawl:

"Thanks ever so much, mister Akevitt! I'm so happy, he said I'd get to see my mommy now!"

On the doors above child's corpse, the following is written in blood:

COUNTING . . .

written in blood below the first blood message is

"Please, keep the bodies coming. Your petty politic squabbles fuel Talona's Experiments for the perfect poison."

Unless you actually do any of this with a DM in game, don't post that you're doing it.

Secondly, if you're not even leaving a Public Notice, don't post in the forum here at all!

*Upon returning to the Hall, dragging a large slab of stone with him, Akevitt is seen once again cleaning up the signs of the Atrocities. Afterwards, several Stouthearts are sent near and far with letters to various people in hand*

// how much of this has actually been done IG with DM supervision - killing kids and taking their bodies to the mine?

// unless there's specific confirmation from the players and/or DMs, I'll assume NONE of it has happened IG.

((As the player is away briefly, I'll speak on his behalf.

Everything that has occurred, the killings, the placings of the bodies, has done so with DM supervision and interaction. Including, I believe, the posting by Kara_EFU.))

// 9lives, that seems to be in question from Metro's post.

// clarification?

((At the risk of moreso throwing this off track, I believe Metro was referring to the actions of those not aforementioned. Similarly, he may have merely been uninformed.))

Frors // unless there's specific confirmation from the players and/or DMs...

// lacking confirmation, all posts in this thread should be ignored - or will be by myself at least, unless as stared above, the players or DMs, NOT OTHERS confirm it's been handled IG

((It's an action that has passed. It occurred. Believe it or not if you will. If you've any questions, speak to LaBrea.))

Several posts have been deleted by conscientious players that did not do what they emoted with a DM IG.

This thread has unfortunately grown ridiculous.
