Double Trouble

* Everyone sits silently in the carriage, lamenting on their mementos, healing a condition.
* We arrive at the marsh at 3pm
** The name of our coachman is Trevor
* We head south east, lead by Cyrus
** We see a tent city with copper pots, and four people standing outside.
* Cyrus asks them if they could answer some questions about Lise Penderson.
** A man comes forward saying he’s the one who helped her.
** His name is Anton Madsen
** They stand apart from the women as it’s not for “gentlefolk” to hear.
* Madsen tells Cyrus, Alec, and William she was attacked: beaten, torn clothes.
** She had been seen walking with who they assumed was a male suitor
** **A vengeful Vaesen took over Lise’s spirit?**
*** Possibly made a pact? Spirit is trapped in a cycle of murder
*** Scorned women? Yes, but nothing with the trifecta we see here.
*** Alec has exhausted the Libro as a resource.
*** This is something new, not catalogued!
*** DOPPELGANGERS!
* We want to look at the place where Lise was found then go talk to Elise.
** We decide a direct course of action is best here.
* The bootleggers appear to be playing up on the superstitiousness of the Islanders.
** Clear to be the source of the werewolf rumors.
** We all share a laugh about werewolves, William isn’t impressed.
* Martha goes over to talk to the bootleggers, convinces one to sell her a jar of (non-tarte) whiskey.
** She gifts it to William
* William buys a box of whiskey from them as well. 
* Anton isn’t superstitious at all, and hasn't experienced anything strange.
** He’s not familiar with any of the missing Refugium men.
* Anton leads us to the place he thinks he found Lise, it’s close to the spring pools where Martha found the doubloons.
* Cyrus pulls out the crystal ball to use like a divining rod. 
** The spirits take two forms, a man & a woman, the feminine one is preggers, the manly one hits her twice. There is some kind of relationship, a child, a pending nuptial, then a violent end.
* One type of Doppelganger is to protect oneself, immersed in their thoughts and their spirit is elsewhere. 
* We debate on what we should do: Go talk to a priest? Or go talk to Elise herself?
** We decide to get info at the church in Munnetawket.
* Alec introduces himself to the priest, Father Jacob.
** He’s aware of the missing men
** The world is an onion (wtf?)
** The events at the Refugium are the results of supernatural means
*** A restless spirit
*** Doppelgangers have roots in priests and Jacob is familiar with them
*** He has a book! Sheesh.
*** It’s a book on Doppelgangers, astral projection, werewolves, omens & death.
** Trap the evil one is a mirror and use a holy fire to cleanse/drive it out.
* Cyrus asks for some anointed oil.
* We make our way back to the Refugium. . .
