[PK] A Feeble Mind

[Aengoth 2890]

From the House of Bessol Avenue I a sudden commotion is heard as a chair is overturned. Jacque of Hogslow would be found hanged dead with a stool overturned by his feet. It appears the man's mind broke and he took his own life after learning of things he was never meant to know.

 

 

OOC: Failed a sanity check after learning about spooks from the Bestia Conlectia

[Islamadon 9158]

"JACQUE, NOOOOOOOO!" exclaims Lector Dante as he discovers the hanging body of his hunter acquaintance. Alas, there was no suicide note.

[Johann 2498]

Leneth, a passing elf, widened her eyes at the tragic spectacle. 

 

"...How terrible, why did this happen?"

[Balthasar 2497]

 

The Ministry of Dulocian-Truth produces new media against the popular idea that this event was a suicide;

 

Jacque of Hogslow didn't take his own life, a preposterous idea! He in fact died by accident. The evidence is clear, he was standing on the chair to get closer to the sealing, to tie up his government issued lantern to better illuminate his darkened house, he however made a fatal mistake, he lost his balance and fell. His head into the knot, it tightened as he fell of the chair.. and poor Citizen Jacque died. The Ministry of Dulocian-Truth urges ALL Citizens to use the bowline knot, in stead of the hang knot! All GOOD citizens will be issued a manual of knots to prevent further accidents.

SIGNED, MINISTER A. LOVEGOOD
 

[Wand 1220]

A contributor to the Du Loc compendium recalls his words between the Lectorists and one Padre. As an elf with a long life combatting the Dark and most unholy, it was not uncommon to witness the despair paid as price for this knowledge.

 

Yet some hope remained, that the Men of this new age had the fire to burn bright and valiantly.

[Shorsand 2006]

Jacque of Hoglow was Du Loc's first butcher, first merchant, and first taken. The Lord of Du Loc wonders what could have driven this man into such an act. There are horrors below, true; yet he fought them with gumption and character. Did they mar his psyche so much? Was the bravado a facade?

 

... was it the meat?

[Reckless Banzai Screamer 15456]

Father Paco would practice the bowline knot in Cardinal Commodus' Library, fearing he too would die like the young Jacque if he tied the hang knot instead!
