Awesome! We foresee a group of characters being able to learn some definite metaplot deets as well as solving this mystery, but first we have to get them there. We will be guiding you and Jack along this process, but we want to reiterate that anyone who Jack might tell about any of this is welcome to jump in here as well. Whether or not that happens, there's a teamwork opportunity shortly into this investigation. :)

If Jack does any real level of research (examples include the library, town hall, and asking the Main Street shop owners), he will discover that the water stems from the river bordering the north end of town.

What would he like to do about that?
