## Chapters

### One

* The crew arrives on golden shores, Siravi and Ludwig declare that Reality isn't in the best headspace so they take over the position of the captain.
* The crew manages to find where the main town is, and go into the Rowdy Raven. There, they see how quiet the area has gotten since they entered.
* When Ludwig says hello though, everything goes back to normal. The piano starts playing again and everyone seems to be having a merry time.
* The crew seems to catch this bustling saloon as the perfect opportunity to gather information. So they decide to do it discreetly.
* Seeing as the crew was at work, we meet Luther, a capybara who happens to be the sheriff of the town.
* Everything seems to be going alright with the conversation between the makeshift captains and Luther. The crew are suspicious of the friendly host. The conversation moves to the Sheriff's office.
* As soon as the crew gets into his office, Siravi notices that Luther said that he was expecting them. He responds with a suspicious act, reckoning that the crew wouldn’t know what he was talking about.
* Ludwig responds, asking Luther for his help in retrieving his soul so that the crew can leave. He also asks if Luther is cursed or something and if that is the case, the crew will fight him under any means necessary.
* Luther then says that he is the one that the crew is looking for. However, he can’t give them his soul yet, as there has been a murderer going around the town.
* Ludwig then asks if the crew could take care of the murderer in exchange for his soul.
* Luther agrees but warns the crew that they were really difficult to catch. The deal was done. Now all they had to do was meet up later to discuss how to catch the murderer.

### Two

* The crew decides to meet up with Luther in his office to discuss a newly found murder victim. This leads to Ludwig asking the crew for aid in their first case.
* When the crew walk in, someone else was sitting in Luther’s chair. His name was Morgan, A lemur who is the eldest son of Luther. Ludwig leads with the question “What can you tell us about the victim?” and Morgan responds with the name “Kit. Kit Constance. Didn’t know him too well myself but he did spend most of his time down at the casino.” He also claimed that he saw him after work every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday.
* The crew asks a lot of leading questions to Morgan and nobody claimed to see if Constance was with anyone. So he was alone.
* When the crew ask where it happened, Morgan responds that it was found at the casino down the road. He also leads the crew, saying that both of his brothers should be at the casino. The crew leaves and manage to meet Morgan’s brothers at the Casino.
* When the crew entered the Shimmer-Glimmer casino, they are greeted by another Lemur by the name of Bartholomew. The crew asked him if anyone witnessed Constance leaving the casino. He responded, saying that Castiel found him about 35 minutes before his death. Apparently, he didn’t seem to be scared or nervous.
* They also asked where the body was found, and Bartholomew reported that it was found in the staff lounge of the casino. There appeared to be no struggle at his time of death. Oddly enough, Constance actually checked in alone.
* When all was said and done, Bartholomew referred the crew to his youngest brother, Westley. Siravi found his flask at the crime scene and placed it on the table. She asked why his flask was at the crime scene and he responded that the previous night was a blur to him. Westley’s relation to Kit Constance was that they were good drinking buddies. He had no idea that Kit was found dead the morning after.
* Westley then fessed up saying that he did find Westley, saying that “Yeah I saw Kitt last night..I was leaving this here room, drunk out of my mind when I saw his body, it was just…Jesus…completely mangled beyond recognition..burns..knife wounds..his eyes…were wide and bleeding. It fucking reeked of wisteria too just really nasty…After that I just..completely blacked out. I woke up at home, flaskless and uh..that’s that.” He clearly was hungover though.
* In a flash, a mysterious black figure sped behind Westley. The crew immediately ran out of the casino and in the direction of the vast-desert to catch the suspect.
* The crew eventually reached the desert, only to find that the suspect had completely vanished. Ludwig cried out many curses, angered at his own decisions, before stalking off behind the crew.
