Letter 13: Sprybull Combat Report

Incident Report 1929-05-24 Completed by Senior Guard Fox Oceanpig

It has been more than one week since my last report. My guards and I have been patrolling Sprybull from dawn until dusk every day. Every day has involved several encounters with demons. Fortunately, we now have the experience to put them down quickly and humanely.

We have followed our disposal orders without fail. But some of my guards are starting to lose their nerve. The bodies are taken to the burn pit. The heads are taken to the market to be identified and recorded. The heads are marked with a swatch of orange paint to indicate that their bodies are gone. The unattended heads that we find are marked with green to indicate that their bodies are missing. We try to match them when headless bodies are found.

We received orders today to investigate the Barleyvole house. We were told that a demon was inside, but the family got out. Before we arrived, the father and mother went inside to try to take care of it themselves. They were slain and turned. Their two eldest children followed them in and were also slain and turned. We did not discover that there were five demons in the house until we found ourselves cornered in the basement.

One of my guards was slain. She did not turn, though. In fact, the five demons suddenly collapsed. The life just disappeared from them. We exited the house and asked around. Every demon was dead once again. I cannot explain this.

The list of the dead was updated to include:

The surviving children were taken to the orphanage:
