Order Only: Reporting in
Because I know you're all wondering.
Thought I caught a scent of Stint yesterday right as Poppy had made her camp and was bent over her notes. Tracked it for a while; had to break off when I heard a crew of two wizards over a ridge about two kilometres north of Poppy's campsite.
They were repairing boundary wards to some kind of game preserve. The first cautioned his partner that a bugbear has been snuffing about a stand of trees right near that spot and they needed to make sure it was secure before the weekend.
Then the other one said something that made my blood pressure rise: They're expecting a 'shipment' of Muggles from the Chester camp - and I gathered it was for the same 'hunting party' they were supposedly preparing for.
Makes me wonder how secure the wards really are and if there's a way to leave a weakness. But there's no guarantee it'd work. And then how in Morgana's name would we get word to the Muggles where the breach is or how to get through it?
Anyway.
I doubled back along the scent trail but it was fading. It occurred to me that it might have been a day or two old, which I like in some ways less than if he'd been skulking about directly.
Poppy, was your campsite already on marked on your route or did you select it on your own? What I mean is, did someone tell you that's the spot you needed to reach?
There's been no sign of him returning today, at least. And I've not picked up any other traces of his stench.
