Vicho's friends were savagely murdered, and he asked Coen to help learn why.
In Svartrau, stop by Vicho's shop — something useful might turn up inside.
The shop is found; now locate its owner.
The shop stands found; its proprietor remains to be found.
A sound was heard while searching the shop. Find what made it.
Vicho asked for help, but Coen declined for now. He will wait in his shop should Coen reconsider.
Vicho sought aid, but being a vrakhir, daylight renders him helpless. He will await Coen's return after dark in his shop.
Vicho and Coen must reach the murdered couple's house; the vrakhir judged the rooftops quickest — and safest.
To learn what truly befell Eli and Devora, the murder scene must be examined.
While working the scene, spare a moment for extra clues to grasp the full picture.
Devora, the jeweller's wife, was slain too — learn how.
The jeweller Eli lies murdered; uncovering the truth falls to Coen.
A small key was found on Eli's corpse. What lock does it fit?
The murder scene was grim work... but now Coen can brief Vicho.
With the guards gone, best to vanish from the streets.
Speak with Vicho and settle the investigation's next step.
Did Doctor Simeon have a hand in the deaths of Eli and Devorah? One way to find out.
Discuss with Vicho whether Doctor Simeon had a hand in the couple's deaths.
Doctor Simeon appears to be out. Search for clues he may have left.
See if Doctor Simeon connects to the murders — only one way to learn.
The doctor seems away; comb the place for traces he left behind.
A key turned up in the doctor's shed. Perhaps it fits his front door?
Simeon is seemingly out; scour the area for any clues left behind.
The doctor lately bought property — a warehouse. Vicho may know the place.
Next stop: the doctor's newly bought warehouse. Tell Vicho when ready to depart.
The doctor was not home; perhaps the warehouse he just bought holds better luck.
The warehouse stood near the doctor's house — they went on foot.
Doctor Simeon's warehouse may yield answers about the murders.
Too late — Doctor Simeon had twisted himself into a monster. Put him down.
Vicho's friends were brutally slain and he begged Coen's aid in finding why. Come back to him when ready.
Vicho is the killer after all... Head to his shop and confront him.

Endings
- Later Coen learned the truth: Vicho himself had murdered those innocents — then buried the memory, unwilling to face it. Confronted, Vicho chose to keep living, and Coen agreed to furnish him with human blood, keeping him from losing control again.
- Confronted with the truth, Vicho decided the only path left was to let the dawn sun scorch his sins away. Coen stood beside him through his final moments after so long a life, unwilling to leave him alone.
- Vicho chose to let the dawn sun scorch his sins away. Coen left before it happened, unwilling to watch the end of his long, long life.
- Vicho and Coen unmasked the killer: his friend Doctor Simeon, who had dabbled with vrakhiri teeth and warped himself into a murohn. He had to be put down.
- When Vicho admitted he might be the murderer, Coen stopped helping him.
- More urgent matters intervened; the case was never followed up.
- Vicho had murdered the innocents after all, burying the memory rather than facing it. Should Coen have told him and shattered his newfound peace? Perhaps — but he could not bring himself to do it.
