| I met young Rose MacGuffin a few days after her father's death. He was an eminent member of the Consulting guild, who had met his demise in unsolved circumstances. At the persistent request of his daughter, also member of the guild, the authorities asked me to perform an autopsy. Unfortunately, I was not able to detect any foul play. His death had all the appearances of a simple but lethal cardiac arrest. I felt obliged to inform her of those facts personally. Since then, we kept in touch, and she used my medical services once and a while. She came to visit me a few times in our Bakers Ladder lodging and met Evarilion on these occasions. He disliked her at first sight, as a member of the forever hated guild. She ostensibly ignored him each time, which infuriated him even more, of course. After a few visits, she became the very embodiment (in Evarilion’s eyes) of all the guild's supposed flaws. But things were fated to change… | I met young Rose MacGuffin a few days after her father's death. He was an eminent member of the Consulting guild, who had met his demise in unsolved circumstances.

| It all began on a sweet spring morning, while Evarilion and I were sitting at the patio of the Seven-armed squid, a very enjoyable pub near Smugglers wharf, at the very same spot I’m sitting right now, writing these lines. It was a few days before the Raining flowers festival, and this time of the year always imposed the darkest mood on my friend’s temperament. It reminded him of the gruesome events I related in a previous story called "the case of the missing gnome". For months, his unparalled mind had been severed from his consciousness and controlled by an evil entity called the Antilithe. During these dreadful months, Evarilion became the notorious crime lord known as Professor Mortifère and helped the cult of the Unnamed god foment a bloody revolution. | It all began on a sweet spring morning, while Evarilion and I were sitting at the patio of the [[en:laelith:lakeshoe:smugglers-quay:10.5.3.0|Seven-armed squid]], a very enjoyable pub near Smugglers wharf, at the very same spot I’m sitting right now, writing these lines.

| We were silently sipping a delicious cup of tea, when Evarilion spotted Rose MacGuffin, standing right in front of the pub. | We were silently sipping a delicious cup of tea, when Evarilion spotted Rose MacGuffin, standing right in front of the pub. |
