MORNING FOUR
Morning broke with no more confrontation. There was no sudden scream in the morning, there was no battle in the middle of the night, and it seemed oddly serene as the inhabitants of the castle made their way out onto the deck. A nice, clear day was blossoming and everyone seemed to be in a slightly better mood, with a guilty party successfully executed.
But it was the Navigator that noticed that not everyone had arrived, and a quick search revealed that both the
Cannoneer, Niklas and the
Cook, Tasslehoff were missing.
A search of the kitchen revealed nothing, but it was the Cabin Boy who discovered the grisly scene in the Cannoneer's quarters. Viciously stabbed several times, and with chunks of his flesh torn out, the Cannoneer still barely clinged to life, labored breaths disturbing the blood pooled underneath him.
"It was...the cook...the cook...'e...'e at-attacked me, 'e d-did..." came the voice, as the Captain held his head, reassuring him. " 'e stabbed me an' when I was dyin' he s-started eatin' me..."
The ships crew winced at this. "What happened to him, Niklas?" asked the captain quietly.
"T-the m-monster took him.... took h...i...m..."
The day was not boding well at all, even with the cannibal apparently killed by a mysterious monster. The Cannoneer died quickly, the information he had been fighting to pass along finally released. In his quarters it was discovered he had been hiding the
Left Oar, which would be voted on. The body of the secretary yielded her weapon, a
Poisoned Boot Knife and the cook apparently had nothing of value.
And then there
was what to do with the body. It would be a long day.
It is now MORNING FOUR
