SPOILER:

Standing at six and a half feet tall and over three hundred and fifty pounds, Jacob goodnight is a former miner from Hargeon. His father was a butcher, and Jacob has taken up the tools of his fathers trade for his killing, a large meat cleaver, a carving knife, and a nasty meat hook on a chain to be precise. He has no magic but is incredibly strong, frighteningly brutal, and worst of all, smarter than many give him credit for.

Reward: 2000 jewels for alive, 1000 for dead, as well as the gratitude of the town guard.

A long day of questioning the various guardsmen who had been involved in the sting had yielded a plethora of information on the killer known as Jacob Goodnight and made it incredibly simple to track the man to his hideout amidst the docks of Hargeon Town. Ni-Ju waited patiently at a nearby inn until nightfall came before heading out to put his information to use. The man was known to stalk his prey near dockside and had been caught in the midst of his grisly deeds on more then one occasion but he had remained on the loose by savaging those who had found him out. If luck held this would be pretty simple.

Hidden in the lip of a trash strewn alley, Ni-Ju watched as the burly murderer known as Jacob exited his rundown tenement and began trudging down towards where the seedier taverns and inns plied their trades. "Not tonight, big fella." The young mage whispered, turning to run through the tiny back ways in order to cut him off. Ni-Ju had come to know the streets and alleys of Hargeon quite well during his tenure as a Lamia Scale mage and in next to no time flat, he found himself poised in the doorway of a small carpenter's shop, ready to ambush the quickly approaching murderer.
