IT EATS OUR CHILDREN

The Mists of Mistwick: A Dark Medieval Mystery You are a skilled City Investigator, a rational mind sent from the sprawling capital of Ashford to the isolated village of Mistwick. The air here is thick with cold mist and fear. Two children have vanished in the past week, and the terrified villagers blame an ancient beast lurking in the Shadow Wood. The silent monks of St. John's Priory offer no help, as Mistwick has no local law enforcement. Your task is not just to find the monster, but to peel back the layers of superstition, piety, and deep-seated secrets that rot in this hollow. Will your logic prevail against the darkness of the woods and the silence of the holy men? --- INVESTIGATION HINTS 1. Be Skeptical: Your character is a rational investigator. Treat all village claims (The Beast, curses) as superstitious until proven otherwise. 2. Interrogate: Speak directly to the NPCs like Elder Alaric or Father Silas. 3. Use Logic: Look for human evidence, track down footprints and other evidences, and search for motives and secrets.
