Name?"
"Marion MacMurray, sir."
"MacMurray. Subject of this report?"
"His name is Jay."
"Reason you can't write this out and are instead impinging upon me to do so?"
"Figgured you'd want it inside a year, sir. My writin's not much readable."
"I see. That must be remedied, MacMurray. Toran's church does not run on the sword alone."
"Yes, sir."
"Now then. What is it that you wish to report."
"Jay. Human male, 'bout yay tall...muscled, he's used ta swingin' a greatsword. Seen him cleave animals in half with it too. He's wearin' spiky black armor last I seen. Kinda advertising. He's got skin missin' on his - "
"Give me a concise reason for this report."
"As I was sayin', he's got skin missin' in a way that don't look natural. I got a real sense o' evil, an' his actions fit right in line. He runs with adventurin' types, got warned about him already by some o' them. He's got a reputation fer real questionable acts, an' he's got his boney nose 'round a lot lately. Thing is, he's livin'...least, his heart is beatin'."
"How did you come to meet this person?"
"I was at a gatherin' in Leringard, 'bout a bounty on a red yeti. Never heard of such a thing. He was there. I went along with a friend, makin' sure nothin' untoward happened. Took us out by Krashin, an' there was some doin's there. Durin', I hadda do some chest-pounds on Jay as he got hit with some magics what stopped his heart, an' I got a good look at his face. Bits o' skin are missin', his skull's showin' through. I just...felt somethin' wrong, there. I can't 'splain it more'n that. We ended up lettin' tha yeti go, it wasn't a threat an' shouldn'ta been captured or killed, in fact - Toran bless it - it kinda saved us by helpin' us outta an avalanche, all 'cept fer Jay."
"So, a person of interest."
"Yeah."
"Magical abilities?"
"Not that I saw."
"Well-trained?"
"Real well. He knows his sword, right good. An' he either plays at honor round other folk, or has some sense of it. Only reason he didn't kill the yeti was 'cause I saved him. Called us even. Makes him more dangerous if ya ask me."
"Anything else we should know?"
"Not that I ken think of, sir."
"Very well. Thank you for your report, MacMurray."
'Yessir."
