Dunwich Beach - Dunwich, England
12:35 PM - Thursday, September 5, 1985

Salem approached the group on the beach as Valerie waved to him and Leonek walked out to meet him. Tobias studied the tracks on the beach. Judging from the size of his own feet, it looked like whatever had left these tracks was a good deal bigger than him.

OOC,Everyone may roll Track.

Leonek almost thought he'd figured something out about the tracks, almost...

He offered Valerie his arm and walked her to meet Salem.

Valerie takes Leonek's arm and walks with him to meet Salem. "'Ello dear!" Valerie calls out to Salem. "Glad you could join us for our beach stroll. However, we have found something that is rather alarming. Come have a look see and tell us what you make of it."

Salem waves back at Leonek and Valerie, "pleasant to see you and Elliot are safe, you guys drive safely to Dunwich." Salem walked over to Tobias side and kneeled over to study the tracks but to no avail wasn't sure what to make out of it. "Have any clues Tobias?"

Leonek guides Valerie back to Salem and Tobias.

"It's clear there was something big and heavy here, and that someone or something walked into the sea, but we can't seem to make out what exactly it was. But it must have happened not too long ago, otherwise the tide would have washed the tracks clean. Did you find out anything useful?"

"What do you suppose could have made tracks that big?" Valerie's muses out loud.

Leoneklooks at Valerie and answers with a deadpan voice: “A tiger or a small dragon.” He shrugs and looks at the others.

“Both can swim…”

"Hmm..tigers and dragons aren't often found in these parts, at least nowadays." Valerie laughed. "And the other marking, the rectangular one..do you suppose our dragon was carrying an icebox or a safe full of cash into the ocean?"

"Cash...or Doctor Kirby..."

Leonek's smile turned into a frown as he stared out over the sea.

Leonek 's eyes start to run as the wind blows some sand in it.

Tobias is busily sketching the marks in his note book as Salem walks up. "I reckon divers, wearing heavy gear and fins, dragged something into the water; maybe a container as it's the wrong shape for a boat keel." He is too busy drawing to notice anything else about the tracks or out to sea. "How did you get on this morning?" He uses his own footprints to get a rough measurement of the fins and the width of the container.

Valerie is too preoccupied with the current events to notice anything.

"Hmm well young Val might haven been going diving..."

Tobias could see that the indentation was square, about two and a half feet on a side. The tracks were much larger than his own feet, but that was all he could tell about them.

Tobias has a thought and smiles to himself. He turns to the others, putting his notebook away. "Hey, I fancy doing a bit of diving. How about I find out who hires out the gear and a boat around here?"

Salem pulls out a disposable camera out of his bag and examines the condition of the camera. Looking through the eyepiece of the camera, Salem aims the camera towards the tracks on the ground. Just as Salem was about to take a picture, Salem looks over his shoulder and notices something out at sea.

Diving?

Leonek doesn't seem too happy about the prospect.

But it is a good idea to see who lets out equipment, Doctor Kirby probably passed by there before she went missing.
