Transcript of key passage in the interrogation of Flovus Nuge, steward of the Knights of the Shield Hall

Black Hand - When did you begin to suspect that Duke Stelmane was not herself?

Nuge - I cleared her dinner dishes after a meal of mutton pie, but when I got the dish up to the kitchen the mutton was... brains.

Black Hand - Brains?

Nuge - And not sheep brains, neither. So I started poking around.

Black Hand - In the Elfsong Cellar?

Nuge - In the Knights' secret chambers, yes. And I found a cell with a body in it, a corpse in city prison stripes.

Black Hand - A dead state prisoner?

Nuge - If I tell you about this, you're going to let me go, right?

Black Hand - Right.

Nuge - It was a condemned criminal with the top oftheir head shattered and the brain mostly gone.

Black Hand - In Stelmane's rooms?

Nuge - The secret part, yes. That's where she found me.

Black Hand - She WHAT?

Nuge - Found me, it found me. At first I thought she was blue and floating, but then it was just Stelmane. She smiled. I don't remember anything after that.
