"No. Here's the thing, whatever or wherever this succubus is, none of my men had seen her. Don't know if it's just not attracted to any of my boys, or something else. All she targets are the village males and particularly like married men. Sometimes she preys on younger ones, typically the sons of the seduced fathers. One hell of a freak, this woman is." The Captain answered their questions, and thoroughly extended them information that they may need for investigation. The sole guard that Cedric spoke to also returned a response. "Attacked? It ain't attack nobody. It's everywhere, methinks it takes the drunk and brings 'em to a cave or wherever the hell."

The Captain of the Watch stepped forward in order to address the adventurers, the crisp air smelling well. "I can't exactly say when she'll return, the truth is I don't know either. But she'll be back soon. Got an angry look when she left, though, but I can't blame her. This thing took her husband and her son also disappeared, though the young von Haupstman never saw eye to eye with the Baroness. If he did get taken by this succubus, I wouldn't be surprised if he just volunteered."

"As far as eyewitnesses go, we only have a few. Mary and John, couple of lovebirds. John apparently saw this woman and she tried to seduce her, but Mary was around and when John saw his woman, he rejected her advances. That's the boy's version of the story, anyway. He's an orator, likes to embellish his achievements. This couple lives just on the edge of town, purple roof, can't miss it."

He paused for a second to point at another person - the homeless man by the tree.

"Next there is Old Glover. Old man's seen and heard near damn everything, no doubt he knows some things. He's probably your most reliable witness." He says. "Last I know is Wilhelm, he's the Baroness' former gardener. Think he saw something about Lord von Haupstman and his son, but he wouldn't talk. Baroness fired him for that, so he just drinks at the tavern now. How he gets the coins for that I don't know..."

Finally the Captain returned to his station.

"As much as I'd like to help you out more, the Baroness gave us strict orders not to conduct this investigation ourselves. Not that we can help much, we haven't seen this succubus ourselves and there aren't any crime scenes whatsoever. She's probably afraid we'd lose our numbers to this woman. I suggest you all split up when asking around, maybe form a cohesive story when you get back together."

The people dispersed and return to their homes, but not without giving spiteful looks to the people they thought were arrogant.
Sister Almonde
*As the Captain began to explain the situation and address the confusion party, she was somewhat impressed by how informative the man was. She was too familiar with rude and unprofessional Captains, so it was a relief that they worked with proper men. Taking note of the Succubus and her behavior, as if trying to understand the creature's motives and drive. Seducing men... At worst the demon could be devouring her victims. At best, she uses them as servants or bewitched slaves. Although the Succubus and her lack of violent attacks were oddly charming.*

```"Understood. Thank you, Captain. May the Pantheons bless you and your men. We will do our best, Gods willing, this unholy creature will be stopped."```

*With that being said, the devotee's attention turned to her fellow party members. She was not gonna boss them around, but it would be good to keep a good communication habit with them. The devotee gathered her confidence, and spoke up to her fellows.*

```"So it would seem we have a few witnesses to question. The couple of Mary and John, Old Glover as well as the Gardener Wilhelm. There are six of us, three sources of information so... Let's stay in pairs? With one male and one female, just... In case the Succubus tries any tricks on the men, we'd have a female to snap them out of it? Just a suggestion, my dear friends."```

*The woman made her suggestions known, speaking in a respectful yet nervous manner. She was so glad that she'd not face a unholy demon alone. A capable looking woman, a dashing human warrior, a sorcerer, a confident girl and a gleeful boy. A large group against a single Succubus seemed to point success to their favor.*

```"I'm willing to work with anyone, although I would like to call dibs on former Gardener Wilhelm? He seems like the most challenging witness to speak to. So I'd like to speak to him, if that's alright with you all? With some male company, of course."```

*She spoke calmly with a smile.*
Leu Pandamonia
Instead of following any form of rational logic that the guards had presented, Leu- or Cedric at the moment, instead decided to do his own thing. Where, upon hearing that the succusbus takes the drunk. He immediately made his way to the tavern to get blasted drunk. As he did so, he attempted to seem heroic, as he shouted in a noble and heroic voice. 

**"Come, my friends! We must get blasted drunk to find the temptress!"**

Cedric ran towards the tavern with childlike behavior, was this really behavior befitting that of a noble knight? Obviously not, Leu was already getting tired of keeping up this character. But alas, the show must go on!
