Awaiting the approach of the McQuarrie brothers, the ambush positions of the murderhobos...I mean the party, have considerable advantages. They quickly make short work of two of the evil McQuarrie brothers, the Professor himself running across the muddy field to dispatch the third as he starts to tractor to get away (slowly - as chases go, it was a damp squib). Clearly, this party of so called 'academics' is not to be trifled with.

Watching the whole thing however, without taking sides, is local farmer Ian MacDonald - no friend of the McQuarries, and who turns out to be a good source of information. Being an NPC, he immediately trusts the people who just despatched the McQuarrie brothers ...uhhhh...
Inviting the rampant killers..um...the party back to his farmhouse, he relates the tale of the missing MacRae baby, Hancock's relationship with Margaret in town, and the general strange goings on around Cannich regarding the new French witch in town - Anne Chantraine, and her accomplice Duncan MacBain.

The party resolve to try and find the mysterious Margaret first - as she serves them whiskey in the Cannich pub. They try to pass a note, but it is seen by the landlord...and quickly dismissed.
They note that she is wearing an elder sign on a necklace, similar to the one that Henry had been wearing...

| Mags' elder sign... |
They follow her, and note that she enters a tenement house, the door opened by a man...
Shotgun diplomacy may not be the order of the day this time...
