He want to throw them on the wrong trail. So he tells them about the numerous Oprhans disappearing. In the mean time he will order thugs to kill the players.
He says there is a heretic cult in town who takes orphans.
The point is to lure players into a trap.
They see Leppers, old people, beggars, orphans, diseased, wounded soldiers, madman, crippled, prostitutes.
Every time it rains, orphans disappear.
XXXXXXX Not logical, WHY Only during rain ???
(if the ask the orphans to stop begging, they need to pay, but it doesn't solve anything, just stop the killings)
Action : Ask the orphans where they go beg. See that there is just one street with zero orphan beggars (because that's where they disappear)
Action: search for a place to hide from Ask the prositute where she met with the rain. In this street there is a place person that led her to hide from the rain. That's where they get caughtstatanic ritual.
Next time it rainsThe prostitute has a lot to say. Her sould is broken since her son got caught and since she partook in the satanic ritual.She remembers that she was paid by a very wealthy vallet wearing provins blue in a street in Marseille.Little did he know the horrors she would have to commit to survive.Then he put a blingfold on her and she walked on pavement, then grass, then some moving stone noise, then crawling underground, then a massive door unlocked and she arrvied in hell.She cries as she describes hell : The heat, they can see the sulfure. She was like inside a valet stomach.There were statues decapitates with weird clay horrors instead of their heads.There was an assembly of people in black robes. One of them was the master of the ceremony, he was the most cruel. Under his cape therewas something like wings. When His voice was sweet and seductive, sweet like a knife.Most prostitutes, orfans and beggars who where brought there died if they catch himrefused to submit. She wishes that she had to courage to die, because now her soul is gone because of the horrors she commited.They made her to horrible things and as a prostitute, she have done disgusting things in the past but nothing of this magnitude. There was rape, but not only, there was murder of childrens, but not only, there was canibalism but that wasn't event he instantly begs for mercy worse of it. She refuses to say what was the worse of it because it broke her sould. (some kind of combination of the three in the wrong order. The point is not to describe gruesome things to the players but to suggest them.)She cries and gives them the keywant to redeem.
The key have blood on it and Action : There is a skull carvedvallet looking through his window all the time. For no reason. (like barbe bleue)
Action : They search his home, he is not here. He propose left throught the window to go to guide thema nearby home (the two homes are very close.)
