The Leg-Taker of Martira Bay
Hook
Martira Bay’s guards are searching for someone called Jack after new killings in which victims’ legs have been taken.
Evidence
- A charmed gate guard said the watch was looking for “Jack.”
- A potion seller said the killer rumors involved people losing their legs.
- Guard patrols were visibly heavier than during the party’s earlier visit.
- Siv reported that he had heard of the figure and that he eats people’s legs.
- Gilos said the guards were failing to solve the killings.
- Outside the Rat House, the party destroyed three Boneless and a huge creature formed when rats merged into a single body.
- Chanting came from within the Rat House, but the party fled before investigating it.
- The rat-swarm creature bit Rage and left an unidentified infection.
Open questions
- Who is Jack?
- Is the leg-taking connected to the earlier wererat activity, the city’s rats, or a separate threat?
- Are the guard patrols capable of containing the killings?
- Who or what was chanting inside the Rat House?
- What infection did the rat-swarm creature leave in Rage?
Next steps
- Evade the responding guards, then investigate the Rat House and the source of its chanting.
