No Country For Goblins

The second case "solved" by the Freeport Militia. It is requested, although discouraged by their boss, that the group investigate a missing goblin man.

It is during this case that the characters have their first encounter with the Office of Theologic Crime (OTC).

Plot
After the fight on the docks, Ganeil decides the Freeport Militia is in need of some combative practice. In the alley behind the station, he runs the group through various drills. Jandar and Quint refuse to participate but do stay to watch, mostly spending their time jeering. While they are out there, a bird flies into the open window of the captain's office. Alex hears soft crying coming from the office and eventually gives up entirely on practice to go check on MacDonald.

In his office, MacDonald is distraught. The pigeon brought word to him that an old friend of his has died. The man was an important elf in the community and had been ill for only a week before passing.

Later, sitting in the break room, the group hears a knock on the door. A goblin woman stands on the street, asks if this is the police station, and if she can report a crime. Zuglash recognizes her and invites her in. The woman, Zia(?), reports that her brother went missing a week ago. A hunter friend of his, Karl, found his shoe but that was it. Her brother received a letter from an unknown sender before his disappearance, frequented the Saucy Bard, and seemed happy with his life and his work. His job involved working late nights as a survey of the dwarf mine. Zia thinks his boss was named Harvey, but isn't sure. The group decides to investigate the case but spend some time re-upping their equipment first.

On the way to speak to Karl at his cabin on the hunting trail, the group passes a protest. The protestors are religious folks who, as the police carriage goes by, cheer that the Tiefling has been arrested. Alex just keeps reading her new textbooks. They leave the horse and carriage (and new Rocket) parked at Flint's parents house and find Karl.

Trivia
