JiggyGrim
Hmmm…he had long straight black hair and red eyes he was like a vampire man he wore all black and he tried talking me into giving him money for something for what he said for “research” He sounded really convincing but for some reason I knew not to trust him so that’s why I left he tried grabbing me but I ran away…

JiggyGrim
staggers backwards as you take off my shield but Iris…faints
rushes over to JiggyGrim, kneels down beside him JiggyGrim! Come on, wake up! shakes him gently What happened back there? Did someone attack you?
JiggyGrim

clenches her fists, determined A vampire man, huh? We'll deal with him later. Right now, we need to find out who else might have been involved in this.
JiggyGrim

JiggyGrim

But right now, our priority is finding those responsible. walks towards the nearest patron, tapping them on the shoulder Excuse me, sir. Did you notice anything unusual tonight? Any strangers lurking around? Patron: looks up, surprised Uh, no, nothing out of the ordinary. Just had a few drinks and went home. Why do you ask?
