More reports of murders arrive, and they are all as gruesome as the others. Many kazuth murders with extremely similiar characteristics as the other ones have been reported. But there are some reports that stand out from others..
The first report is different in the way that it was a kazuth mother with her adopted human child. The mother was found dead, her gut ripped open and her intestines hanging from a small beam above the location of her corpse. Her heart was torn out of her chest, but was found.
The heart was tucked inside the human child's shirt. The child was no more than one year old, and was soaked in blood at the time of discovery. Other than this flood of blood it was drenched in, it seemed unharmed. With the slight exception of a strange looking symbol carved into it's forehead. The symbol itself is of unknown origin, but the guardsmen who found the child report it having looked slightly like a pair of cat ears sitting on a cross.
The mark was carved deep into the child's flesh, and is definately going to cause scarring. What the mark might represent is up for speculation.
Another weird occurance is several guard patrols reporting having been harassed by figures dressed in entirely black, tight-fitting outfits wielding crossbows. These unknown assailants have been loading their crossbows with bolts that have their sharp end entirely cut off and replaced with a rock tied to the bolt in a very primitive way. The figures have never been spotted for more than a split second out of the corner of the guardsmen's eyes.
Although no damage has been made to the guardsmen other than being very annoyed at the occurances, many of them report feeling scared for their life. Some have even gone as far as to resign from their guard duty or flee town.
