THE WITHERED ROSE

A world wide known guild which members are inquisitors, people that can single handedly take on multiple missions without getting tired, the last resource, the best among the best, the ones you call when an inminent threat is nearby. They're known as the only guild that take on missions that no one dares to take, whether its because of the hardship or because something happened to the last team that dared challenge the unknown. This guild is currently suffering a great attack, not with armies or beasts, rather, something far stronger, the word. Rumors of darkness surround the guild and their members. They've tried to seek the truth of this nonsense and this badmouthing that has been spreading like a wildfire, however, everytime they have been near the source of everything, the rumors change and the information lacks. No one knows why is happening, however something appeared a week ago, a long purple hair was found in the leader's notebook where he kept track of everything, followed by three chess pieces that are carved to look like each one of the members of the guild and lastly, several chessboards decorated to look like each town that was visited. The clues seem to guide to one person.

The Criminal

The world most known and feared criminal, Samuel LeRouge, a clown that seeks joy and the biggest audience for his pranks. But do not be fooled, his trickstery is a facade, a mask, for his real deal is his intelligence. He has been able to hide in plain sight, sneak around despite several eyes on him, he's good at reading others like an open book. He's very known to leave chess pieces carved to look like the victims of his next prank, he decorates a chessboard with exact decoration on the place his trick is going to happen, the detail and the amount of accuracy of how everything ends up going is far beyond the comprehension of premonitions, is not like he sees the future, but rather writes it and molds it to his will.

Now, you're the new member of the guild. You're walking towards the town where they recide. Who do you go to talk to?
