Elder Blood Witcher

After having a short discussion with the three about anything weird happening recently Reima with Dagovi for his estate. The large white stone building overlooks the "noble" area of the city, they approaches the gate and quickly pass through and enter the building.

Reima "So tell me, had Nuci been acting strangely before she vanished?"

Dagovi "Not at all..." He thinks for a minute as they approach her room, "She did change her preference for Wine though... Along with the fact that she wished to sleep in a separate room, I had assumed she was just depressed at not being able to have a child..."

Dagovi unlocks the door to the room and they both enter, the first thing Reima notices upon entering the room is the large naked portrait of Nuci Gasreza...

Reima "Is there a particular reason for this portrait to be here?"

Dagovi shrugs, "Nuci must have liked the craftsmanship...

Reima starts looking around the room finding empty wine bottles and scattered plates, not something you would expect from a noble lady. Looking at the bed pillow he finds two kinds of hair, long blonde hair and short black ones.

Reima "Did your wife dye her hair at all?"

Dagovi "No, no... That would hardly be allowed for polite society."

Reima grimaces at the implication of the different hairs present in her bed.

Reima looks to the side at the big wardrobe, "Is that where she kept her clothes?"

Dagovi nods as Reima opens it to find many illustrious dresses and formal ware, he shifts the clothes to the side to examine the insides of the wardrobe.

Reima "Gotcha."

Dagovi "What have you found?"

Reima pulls open a hidden section of the wardrobe and reveals a range of male clothing.

Dagovi looks rather astonished at the discovery and sits down on the bed to recover slightly.

Reima "Your Wife, may have been cheating on you... I'm sorry." Reima leaves the man who's holding his face as he sniffles into his hands. Reima decides to have a look around the house to see if he can find anything else.

After half a day of additional searching Reima doesn't find much else... Apart from boot marks leading to the bottom of Lady Nuci's window. Reima Decides to visit Branand Maeg's estate instead of leaving it til tomorrow, luckily it's not too far from Dagovi's residence. Reima hails the gate guard and requests entry, which is approved by Branand himself. He's greeted by the maids which lead him through the long halls, the house is almost as richly decorated as Dagovi's and projects an air of superiority.

Branand Maeg had just finished his meal as he greets Reima.

Branand "Witcher, have you found anything from your search of Dagovi's estate?"

Reima "Yes, but nothing solid. I would like to see you and you're wife's room if you would allow..."

Branand "Ah, I would if we were still sharing a room... Around a year ago she wished to sleep in different rooms... Said she didn't feel worthy to sleep beside me, I disagreed but she insisted."

Reima "Strange, Nuci Gasreza had done the same thing before she disappeared..."

Branand "Think they might be connected?"

Reima nods "Defnitely."

They make they're way to Netlize Maeg's room and quietly enter, similar to Nuci Gasreza's room, a giant nude portrait of Netlize Maeg overlooks the room...

Reima searches for black hairs that do not match Netlize's red hair... He finds them. Some sort of serial killer? But that doesn't explain the infertility.

Checking the wardrobe he finds a similar hidden attachment with male clothes inside.

Looking to Branand he says gravely "I think I need to talk to the Commander..."

Reima and Branand make their way to the Commanders office where they eventually gain entry, inside they see the Indit Sazi and another man having a heated discussion.

Indit "Reima, quite a convenient time to visit as this man wants to report a curse being put on his beloved."

Urneld Kezego "Commander, I don't see why you need to include strangers in our discussion..." He looks at Reima and Branand and gives a slight bow, "I am Urneld Kezego, Baron of Ard Carraigh and Kaedwin."

Indit "You are mistaken Sir Kezego, I had given our Witcher friend the task of ridding this so called curse from our city."

Urneld "Is that so..." He sighs before explaining, "My wife and I have recently decided to have another child, I am away from home a lot and wished for her to have someone accompany her... A child would appease her motherly instincts and keep her from staying to another man. We had thought she was with child when she had a bout of morning sickness one day, she eventually even had a slight bulge of her stomach... Then one day I find her laying on a couch legs spread like some drunken soldier, she then tells me that she just needed to lose weight and that we were mistaken... She's started to request her own room and I feel like I'm losing her..."

The man seems rather downcast as he explains his troubles.

Branand looks confused and suspicious of all the similarities between their situations.

Reima "I think we need to speak with your wife..."
