Has anyone seen Jackdaw???

Maybe Jed ate him.

Jackdaw is no snake.


~Nalick

I can hear the whispers in my head. Like the tip of a blade scraping against the inside of my skull... my sweet grows restless... We sense another... an older symbiote.
Ozomdarth, the perversion.
A True warlock.
It seeks hosts that it falls in love with. It still cries over it's past dead hosts. Not the company you would want to keep.
It is in service to the reaper.
This abomination should be handled swiftly, and carefully...
Keep a steady knife...
It will fight.

I'm sharing this here as it seems to be our collection of intelligence for this.

I reached out to the Houses, and have discovered a Reign named Gaston was looking into an entire cabal of negative creatures. It seems they were trying to turn someone into a Lycan, but Gaston was planning on putting a stop to it. He has since gone missing. Normally a very private Hunter, he is reliably on time, but no trace of him has turned up in the expected ways. I must assume he, like Jackdaw, must be found.

It concerns me that there may be a gathering of negative energy creatures all attempting the same goal. Usually they do not work well in concert. I ask that you all be vigilant and continue to share information. It could save more than Jackdaw and Gaston.

I cut short my trip to head to the Ivory Tower at the request of Cara and the sages there had some to say.

They had an apprentice at some point who was considered some what gifted, but often would get in his own way over studying the details of a ritual. Always claiming that "the next project he works on he would take seriously" yet always getting caught up in the how and why, failing to actually take the inspired action he was capable of. When he finally would apply himself, his lack of immediate success would cause him to become frustrated. This unfortunately caused him to begin looking into more immediate sources of arcane power and was quickly swept up by the promise of immediate power by a philosopher Lich... we haven't seen the young magician since.

Unfortunately since I was in Toka Oro Sol previous to heading to the Ivory tower I am not clear how this entirely fits in to the puzzle but I hope this information is of aid.

I can attest to undead in the area becoming empowered. As I mentioned on Ilana's posting, I and another attempted a small ritual to try and see if we could figure out a way to locate the nest. Our results kept pointing down no matter where we were in the Proper. Afterwards I did a little experimentation with creating my own undead. As soon as they came into being, they were beset upon by the hands which empowered them until they broke from my control. The same happened with any specters I attempted to summon. I could cast a spell and take control of them again, but after a while they would break free again. I eliminated all those I lost control of because all they would do was head towards the nearest living thing to attack it and I would rather not leave more dangers out there for us.
