LAURA: Yeah.
MATT: “I think he came in briefly for a drink
before the carnival, but that was it.”
MARISHA: You know, we should drink to old stories
of Brinjay.
TRAVIS: (shushes)
TALIESIN: I down my shot. What did the man drink
out of curiosity? What was his final drink? I’m a
bit of a macabre person myself.
MATT: “It’s this very whiskey you just had.”
TALIESIN: I’ll take one more, and I’ll get one of
my own.
LIAM: I heard he was sick, too.
MATT: “I don’t believe he was ill. I hope not. He
seemed to be rather wasting away. You shouldn’t be
doing so much manual labor at that age.”
SAM: What labor was he doing?
MATT: “He carries stuff around from small tasks
to–
SAM: Down at the docks?
MATT: "The docks, up at the North Ward. He carried
crates, boxes. Just odd jobs, ways to get by ‘til
"the end of his days, which now that they’ve come,
may he rest and not have to do odd jobs ever
"again.” He pours his own bit of whiskey.

TRAVIS: Did he work for any of the particular
breweries around?
MATT: “I don’t know. Maybe.”
MARISHA: Brinjay.
LAURA: Where did he sit in here?
MATT: He points over to the not the table the guy
is playing solitaire on, but the empty table to
the right of him. “Usually right there in the
corner.”
LAURA: I go sit in the corner. I’m going to look
for anything I can find that looks like an old man was
touching it.
MATT: Okay, make an investigation check.
LAURA: Okay. I’m really good at these. 12.
MATT: 12. It looks like probably old person
touching has been all over here. Yes. The table is
very old and warped in places, stains all over it.
It’s not a very good table. It’s seen some rough
days.
TRAVIS: If we were to go down to the docks and ask
after a few people he worked with, is there anyone
you know that we should speak to, familiar of
his?
MATT: “I apologize. I served him drinks and
pretended to listen to him many times, but I
