My temptation to keep focusing on Rourke is admittedly a bit tenuous. But given we've been threatened with a "thrilling death" if we don't identify Fel's master in a tenday then it feels as though that is a priority. And we were given the threatening letter by the urchin in Canary Lane, and it was when chasing that urchin (possibly that urchin!) that we bumped into skeleton-top-hat-man, who possibly nicked our unicorn-bunny foot talisman. That leads me to wonder whether that man is connected to Fel and the Master, or perhaps even Fel himself. And a top-hatted man also cropped up in the meat murders, whispering threats to Selwyn.

Whereas, I don't think we have even a tenuous connection between the Master and the dragonborn and Insight Park murders yet, I think? I could easily have forgotten or missed something.

Oh, and is it significant that the whisper to Selwyn was "promisin' to fulfill my heart's most hidden desires. I never would have wished that death on my own worst enemy"? That does sound like the kind of thing a "noxious angel" or "vulgar fiend" might threaten, but are the hidden desires pointing us to an incubus or similar perhaps? Incubi do have Charm abilities too, I think?

I am glad we have the whole weekend to decide where to investigate next.

Interesting idea! I wonder if we will come across the retching man again or if what he would have said will forever remain a mystery!

I'm also glad we have some time to ponder this one. My heart is pulling me to Insight Park and the prophesying tree, but my head as yet has no idea what to do!
