The Pegasus's Lament
“A pair of inquisitors stood guard at the end of the corridor, so when they passed that vanguard, Faxon felt like he was able to breathe again.
A woman that Faxon recognized as the innkeeper's wife, stood just outside the door to the storeroom.

“She found the body behind one of the shelves, hidden with some crates,” the inquisitor said as he entered. “She moved it out into the room, then called for the inquisitors.”
“The one discovered with the body is often the one guiltiest of the crime,” Faxon said drily.
“Not in this case.”
The inquisitor knelt and flipped back the sheet.MoreLess
