Xanthe's murder

Introduction

You're telling me that a hybrid was assassinated here a week or two ago? That is strange. They usually keep a low profile, and few people have the good or bad luck to get a close look at one of them. If he was killed here, then it must have been a premeditated crime. Feel free to investigate. You're unlikely to learn anything related to the investigation that brought you here, but adding your search to mine could certainly help. I'm staying here; my men saw bloody tracks leading towards the east, and I'm waiting for them to report back.

Cunclusion

While you searched the clearing, one of my men came back. A hybrid suspect has been arrested. They're taking him to the small fort at Maliken for questioning. Thank you for your help, even if it seems it came a little too late. I hope your investigation at the site has helped you to learn something useful, but I doubt it.
