The Goddess Smiles (EE, Throughout the City, Event)

[Jewel]

Shilah is not the only goddess with worshipers within the Sands. While the recent dark events have demoralized her followers those of the Destroyer see them as a blessing and a proof of her power. All shall crumble and fall.

Their exultant devotions, however, are far from prayer or song and soon bodies begin to turn up throughout the city, throats slit from ear to ear, graced with the Goddess' Smile.

[Jewel]

While few recognize the killings for acts of the Cult of Ruhmal it does not stop them from seeking to halt the foul deeds. The tendrils of the Cult are too many to be severed so easily but each one cut is still a small victory.

Know Your Enemy:

Roll Lore:Cult of Ruhmal/Intelligence TN10 or Lore:Invinda/Intelligence TN20 to recognize the styling of the Cult.
As a Faction Lore, and thus a Forbidden Knowledge for non-members, Sage may not be used for Lore:Cult of Ruhmal but may be used for Lore:Invinda.

Success, and each successful raise, gives a free raise to use towards any of the other rolls in this event.

Find Your Enemy:

Roll Hunting (Tracking)/Perception TN15 or Investigation (Search)/Perception TN20 to trail one of the killers from their unfortunate victim

Each successful raise gives a raise on the next roll.

Failure ends participation in the event as your prey escapes you.

End Their Threat:

Roll Brawling/Agility or Weapons Skill/Agility TN15.

Success, and each successful raise, gives 1 Night Point.

If failed take 1k1 damage +1k0 per failed called raise (free raises do not count against this) and your target escapes

[Faruq Al-Farhan]

When Faruq found the first of the bodies, he was reasonably sure of what was happening. He'd heard of them, whispered about in hushed, frightened voices among the many homeless of the city, or sometimes even discussed with contempt in the market.

Keeping an eye out as he walked around the Mekham District, he saw it. A shadow, knife in hand, weaving its way through the streets. It was a small thing to stop one of them, but many small things could one day become something important - he'd said that himself earlier, hadn't he?

But the shadow was too fast, and his eyes not good enough. After five minutes of chase, he lost sight of it.

All these dead bodies...

When could that stop? When could they see better days?

[Zara]

She was still sore from the previous night's debacle. Zara thought getting out and working through the pain would help.

She was wrong.

Somehow, she found the trouble she was looking gor, but one strike to bruised rib, sent her to her knees, while her prey ran off to do horrible things.
