The Synodiporia Psychic Network

[Within an hour of the sounds of murder subsiding, there's a careful voice on the network.]

Sooooo, uh. Quick-- quick little update on the whole thing we're dealing with right now?

Because I said there was, like- a necromantic lich thing, before? Some updates there. Wish it was good news, but... yeah. Rarely ever is with this type of thing.

So, first off. The dead dude upstairs? Previous host. I got a good look at the scene, had a poke around, and there're signs of a pretty bad struggle before our dude just out and died. Someone was beating it up pretty bad, probably with some kind of holy magic just judging by the burn marks alone. They would've won, probably, except then I think the other lich exploded and fuckin' just-- ran like the wind.

S-- so, uh. Bad news - there's a life energy-eating spirit on the loose. But, uh, goooood news? [Debatably] Seems like it needs a host, so. It can't go far. Especially with that barrier up.

Uh, second thing. I managed to get a couple 'f answers out of the corpse itself. Poor schmuck just - really did not know what hit him; ol' Lichy'd been possessing him for a few weeks, minimum, before he got here and got murdered to the Nine Hells and back. But, I did get two leads out of him, maybe. The guy's employer, whoever that is, and some Hunter he said was following him for pretty much the entire time - and, honestly, knowing ghost bounty hunters, was probably the murderer.

That's, uh. That's all I got.
