Day 2

The Ice Man

Noone from Moonrest has touched the body and noone has dared to.

Elder saelin tells us we do not let the tide take the dead but do not bury what we do not understnd.

Determine how the man died, take him to the fish house for an  investigation.

She tells us to record everything for the moon rest arvices. "Do this carefully" she says.

Well dressed human male, frozen stiff and sea frost clings to the clothes. Clothes are very  high quality, obvs not a fisherman. Bruising around the wrists, boots don't look worn so not used to much wear

Seb sees the body didn't drift here, he sees faint drag marks which the drifting snow have partly covered, the bag looks like its just dropped. There are no foot/boot prints.

Bryn suggest moving him to the fish house, we make an A frame strecher and carry him back.

We return to the fish house with the bodybody, the villagers are outside looking. Not helping but having a nose.

Approaching the fish house a man in his mid 40s stop =s us and says "your not bringing that into the village you don't know what he's carrying" A doesn't know the man but asks him if he knows who the body is - "he doesn't know" Calms slightly when A tell him elder saelin told us to do this. An old lady tells folk to let him pass - if the sea gave him back we take care of him"

Passing

2 houses - we hear a group of children playing and singing... we recognise it a a sort of scary nursery rhyme
