The New Rossfield Slasher

So there've been a string of deaths recently-- most of which happen to belong to the criminal element of the town. Contacts in the police force tell me that they suspect it's some kind of vigilante.

Well.... they may be right, I guess.

A couple agents have made a connection. Quite a few of the victims are Servants. There's the usual group of Timberwolves I've come to expect in this town, but it doesn't end there. Of the twelve deaths so far, only half have been Timberwolves. The others? Two confirmed as Dolls, one was a Drone (SMSC agents removed that one before the coroner could get to it), two were suspected Proxies, and as for the last... we don't know. He was identified as a man who had gone missing nearly fifteen years ago. He was also the most heavily armed and in the best shape of the bunch.

Every victim was found in an area where an ambush would be easy. Alleyway, parking lot in the middle of the night, the woods just outside town... They were also twisted. Broken bones, heads backwards, joints bending the wrong way. Each one was tortured to death.

Agent Stone made a crack earlier, when we examined the Drone's corpse, about how we should recruit this guy. I don't think so.

These people were just as much victims of Them. It's one thing to kill them in self defense. It's quite another to torture them to death. That's not someone who wants to make the world safer. That's just someone who gets off on it, and wants to assuage their own conscience by targeting Servants exclusively. You'd know all about assuaging guilt, wouldn't you?

There isn't a doubt in my mind. Whoever's doing this needs to be stopped.

  1. Maybe it's not a person.

    Were the hearts ripped out and/or the eyes damaged?

    1. Doesn't sound like the Smiling Man. My guess, due to the extreme torture, is either a sadistic Dying Man fragment or the Wooden Girl

    2. It could have been a Crimson Knight group as well. Probably trying to lessen the other Fears power if The Brute really does have anything to do with it.

    3. If it's a Dying Man fragment, I really doubt that it's going to last long with Judas around.

  2. Just for the record I was no where near there. Also I'm not that sloppy.
