Dead Beat Question
« on: February 06, 2024, 08:31:10 PM »
Why did CorpseTaker and his/her ghoul go to the morgue?  What did they really need from from Dr. Bartlesby's affects? Other than to give Harry an opportunity to observe them and see what they were?

They wanted the Word of Kemmler; I don't know why they thought there were any clues there.

I think they figured out the ballooner must have swallowed some evidence. So it'd be in his stomach or show up on the autopsy.

Hmmm.  That seems highly-likely; TYVM!  Corpsetaker was a mind-magic specialist, could easily have learned that whatsizname was a ballooner, and that his corpse would have the info.

I bet they could pull a much-more refined & informative version of Molly's "look into the eyes of the dead" trick, too.

Molly?  In White Night, with one of the early victims of the Whampires.  Harry took her to the morgue, and Waldo let her do her Sensitive thing.  It let Harry confirm there was a serial-killer.
