"Oh, the Lady Damrymple?  She's a minor noble, with a long purse.  She came here looking to catch her husband in the act, and was so caught up in the party in the parlor, that she ended up upstairs herself.  These days, she brings society friends by to shock and amuse them."<br/><br/>Brief Answers. "Yes, she's a regular."<br/>"She certainly seemed to be acting normally.  Her friends?  Usually they are fairly quiet, agreeing with Lady Damrymple or just nodding."<br/><br/>Mary nods at the request, not seeming to mind it, and starts pulling down Crystals, methodically looking in each for a minute, then replacing it with another.  She has not reported anything out of the ordinary when Lady Nightshade enters the room.<br/><br/>She smiles at seeing Ithi'ka , but shakes her head.  "She does not think that this creature has anything to do with her.  She advises though, that is sounds like a Barghest whelp, since she doubts a greater Barghest would ally itself with Humans. To find this one, she advises, find out who has the bodies.... the missing ones.  If it's working with someone, that person will have to supply it with victims."
