WHAT || A couple of knights take a short trip west to investigate reports of Shadowkind deaths.
WHERE || Police Station, Pembrokeshire, Wales
WHEN || May 20th
HOW || Actionspam

The briefing was simple and direct: a string of disappearing Shadowkind centered around a small farming town in Wales. The Karthur Institute wasn't called in until the local authorities got reports of incessant, blood-curdling screams coming from a barn just past the edge of town. They found a girl curled in the corner there, screaming her lungs out, shaking, and looking like she'd been running around the forest alone for days.

They also found the five bodies of their missing townspeople in the barn.

They tell the knights (and thus, Wynn tells them) that the girl is in police custody, but they don't tell them that she's pinned in a cell. They've fed her and given her a coat by now, but the deputy is quick to alert Helen, Rose, Sydney, and Alaric as they arrive of the bad news.

"She hasn't shut up since we put her in there." He glances back over his shoulder, toward the lock-up. "Not screamin', just wanting to know who they were." He looks back at the knights, grim. "Don't think she's got any idea how she got out there. I don't have it in me to tell her I don't either; wherever she's rom, it inn't Pembrokeshire."

[Rose had been idly looking around the quaint Police Station but when the man started to speak, her whole face went blank, mouth falling open a little. If this was English he was speaking, apparently Rose wasn't as fluent in it as she thought because she understood only half of what he was saying thanks to the accent.]

Uh - [She gives a small shake of her head.] The bodies? Are they here too or back at the barn?

[It's possible that after this, Rose was going to leave most of the talking to Helen because apparently Rose thinks that somebody who is actually English will have a better idea of what this guys saying.]

[ When Rose, Sydney, and Lydia come to, they don't recognize their surroundings. It's a house, unmistakably, but the walls look somewhat unfinished. Wood beams are up, but the insulation is exposed in some places and covered by unpolished wooden boards in others. The light is low, just barely trickling in through narrow, one foot by six inch windows on two of the walls, towards the top of the room.

Wis 13 can identify it as a basement, though the stairs are out of view courtesy of stacks of storage boxes. They all wake up around the same time as the spell wears off, and the three of them are all tied to the thick, wooden support beam of the basement with zip ties holding their arms behind their back. Enjoy your stiff shoulders — it's been a while.

Daylight is still coming through, though, so it's either been less than a couple hours, or ... a day or more. :) ]
