The man gives a brief description of the corpse in question, although it shouldn't be too hard to find it if it hasn't been cremated yet, given the nature of the death.

"His head was ripped off his body... It was at the top of the pike, five other heads below 'im... Like some terrible bloody totem. The hat... Well I can't rightly I'm sure it [i]was[/i] a hat. Or a crown. Guts and bones and all other stuff just bolted together... I think with bone? Or if not bone, there were these... Strands too. Real small. I think... [i]Gods, I think they were veins.[/i] I... That's all I can say. His face was kind. Peaceful."

After final kind farewells, Akh Uur Hoon departed, the matter of the Kadyx still on her mind.

She committed the address to memory. "Very well. For now, it's time for me to return to the Mortuary."

The illithid reached for a pouch in the folds of their robes and pulled a business card.

[b][i]''I usually can be found here as it is my commercial enterprise.''[/i][/b]

"Sensible and kind remarks." Akh replied aloud with a respectful nod. "How should I contact you?"

[b][i]''It just so happens that being the victims of an outrageous murder are quite the impediment to one's own freedom. In that vein feel free to call for me should you choose to pursue this trail. I will assist as my abilities permit and one should not chase a serial killer, or their copycat, alone.''[/i][/b]

Akh agreed with a nod that this was a possibility.

"I have a personal interest only because of what we have just witnessed: these actions reverberate in ways that increases torment and frustrates chances of many for True Death."

[b][i]''I do not know much as the being's actions usually falls out my sphere of influence and interests. I had taken an interest when I first came to the city but hunting it down presented a greater task then I would endeavor to do based on rumors and myth.''

L'Orr-hui's eyes shifted to look at the hive dweller nor much further away

[i][b]''As is possible with any legend, individuals may have also chosen to copy the method to shroud themselves and their motives'' [/b][/i]

She bowed her head in silent acknowledgement of their words. [i]Whether he did remains to be verified. Do you know anything about the Kadyx that would contextualise what we've just learnt?[/i]
