Rauru, Nuun Highlands[/center]

Dawn broke over the village of Rauru as he poured over his notes from the last few weeks. He was passing through and on his way to Lynna City to report his findings for the incidents in the last few days. Thefts and vandalism by bandits on horseback was as much as he'd found, but it was strange to him that these bandits would always slip away so quickly, like phantoms. Still, he had predicted another such incident in Raura within the last two or so days, but none came, which struck him as strange, he was on their trail after Symmetry Village not too far from here. There was a pattern to the events, plus consistency, that was all he found so far, he wasn't able to tail them either as his horse could not handle the night so well. Perhaps he should find a way to jack one of theirs to tail them...? In any case he was roused from his lodgings by the town guard as an announcement was made... Something had happened.

Donning his armor and helm with sword strapped to his back, he headed off towards the town square, where the ruckus seemed to be coming from. Upon arrival he beheld a strange scene, a knight, blackened and charred laid on the ground, with a horse that as he walked to scene was being calmed down, now being walked away...

This struck him as strange... Death, rather than theft... Great, either this was another thing he had to worry about, a murderer on the loose, or a crafty dangerous monster, or the bandits he's been chasing decided to up their game... In any case... He approached the good Captain and inquired to the events.

[color=steelblue]"Hmmmm I see... So he was found dead on arrival this morning. Sizeable burns, and a slit throat... A strange combination if ever I've seen one"[/color], he began.

[color=steelblue]"I'd like to request to examine his body and his horse, as what it's carrying, or not carrying, may give me some insight into what happened... This may be related to my investigation"[/color], he requested.
