Success

Hearsay and rumour

The remaining victims are nowhere to be found. Presumably, they took their murders as a suggestion to move elsewhere. However, you do manage to track down their acquaintances and a handful of witnesses.

Apparently, both victims keeled over while drinking. Tea in one case, stout in the other. One reported a strange smell. The other spoke of his copper pennies going black. They both had dealings with the Rubbery Man called Mr Twitch, among several others. Slack Harry is a well-known name. He's a failed amber trader who took up the life of a tanner. Nobody seems to know who Mr Fortune is.

One of the poisoned dealers had a strange creature in a vivarium. Some kind of slug-beast that he obtained from Mr Twitch. It seems that he sold it to the learned men at the department of Esoteric Cryptozoology. You should visit them near Ladybones Road.

Failure

Closed for business

No sign of the other two victims. Perhaps they are involved with the less regulated side of the deep amber trade? In any case, they are not around today.
