The Late Unpleasantness

Criminal Activity

As the group crosses the Tundarok bridge into Sandpoint Rabie explains that the Swallowtail Festival, a holiday honoring the god Desna brings closure to a series of events from five years ago, referred to as “the Late Unpleasantness”. A seemingly harmless eccentric named Jervis Stoot snapped, embarking on a killing spree that would have been shocking and unsettling in Magnimar , and was catastrophic in sleepy Sandpoint . Nearly two dozen people were stalked and killed before ‘Chopper’ died resisting arrest. Rabies face turns pale as he tells the story. Chopper’s body had barely cooled before the townspeople had to deal with another tragedy: an accidental fire that destroyed the northernmost quarter of town - starting with the cathedral, where beloved priest Ezakien Tobyn , his daughter, and several acolytes perished.
