Are there plans to track down the last one?

Most of the constables are talking about the attack.  Not surprisingly there are a variety of stories circulating, most involving some alliance of the Wug and Chosen.  The victims are being cared for at the shrine of Gnarion and you do not know if they have been interviewed yet.

Once inside the room it is too crowded to sit; the first deputy and the three watch commanders are standing at the front of the room.  The first deputy has a breastplate with a fur lined coif at the neck and a bastard sword.  The watch commanders look very uncomfortable.

The first deputy begins:  Deputies, it is time we take the fight to these enemies.  It is no less than our sacred duty while our glorious armies are suffering night and day at the front to protect their homes and families.  As both the Chosen and the Wug have for reasons unknown selected this part of his majesty's fair city to commit their evil deeds I have decided this is where we will make our stand.  I have divided you into two groups.  One will hunt the Chosen, the other the Wugs.  Your sergeants will give you your assignments.  All deputies are expected to draw lethal weapons from the armory until this threat has ended.  All current investigations are hereby suspended until further notice.

Dismissed.

Turning to our group: "Did I miss something? Have the Chosen actually committed a crime, or are we tracking them down merely because their presence is suspicious?"

Spellcasting logistics question: does the constabulary provide spell components used in the line of duty? Not an issue now, but they will start getting more costly, and 1.5 gc/week isn't going to pay for much.

And how about access to spellbooks and materials to copy spells? There is a financial burden to bear being a wizard, is there a reimbursement plan offered, or does everything come out of personal funds?

Only inexpensive ones.  You have discovered the primary reason there are very few wizard constables.  Same for the books.

Sgt. Windbourne comes to find you after the assembly breaks up.  He tells you that you have been selected to go after the Wug.  The captured Wug has not answered any questions but clerics listening using a comprehend languages or tongues spells have heard it muttering about the dead, there being no hope and how they were foolish to remain in this frozen land.  The family has been interviewed but have little to offer.  They were returing home from the market when the Wug attacked from below.

There is an investigator named Marcus.  He is little more experienced than you.

Is there a transcript available for review so we can see the specifics?

Talking to the group, not the crowd, Robert says, "This doesn't seem like a good idea.  The army is better equipped to deal with this.  We're constables.  Bar fights, thefts, investigation.  Not repelling a covert invasion."

No.  You are given notes from the Sgt.

The Sgt. looks uncomfortable.  "The marines and Lady Goldpath searched the tunnel last night.  It ends in a series of caves 10 miles north of the city, probably below the fens.  No one is happy about this but we have our orders."

"Orders are orders.  Do we have anyone in our ranks that knows how to fight the Wugs?  Do we have anyone that knows the fens well?"

Is there any more info on what dead the wugs are referring to? Their dead? Those missing from the potter's field?

Where's the potter's field in reference to the fens?
