With the men otherwise occupied, she whispers something to Alice.
Alice,"This isn't your first time tangling with something like this, is it?"

Henry allows the more athletic Bruce to do the swimming. He keeps an eye out for anything else of interest. I do really wish I had brought lunch.

Tentatively, Bruce stepped into the water, wading out until it felt deep enough to swim. The water was cold, but bearable for a short while and with a measured stroke, he started to swim towards the far bank.

Fort strips off with enthusiasm, his muscled torso showing a fair few bruises. He takes a running dive into the water and then, with long strokes, quickly catches the others up.
“Wahoo! It’s bracing!” He shouts happily.

OOC, As I already stated, anyone attempting to swim needs a successful Swim roll.
Not the greatest of swimmers, Bruce found the going hard...
Swim, Failed - 31 vs 25 - https://www.dholeshouse.org/Tools/DiceVerifier?RID=3ee6b153-532a-45b5-ad48-47b409d88b80

Alice,"I don't know what I should ask to follow that up," Emily admits.

Emily,
[color=fuchsia]"Some of the things I've seen,"[/color] [b]Alice[/b] replies, [color=fuchsia]"I don't like to talk about. Not only are they disturbing, but people find them difficult to believe unless they've already 'seen the elephant.' From what I can gather, it's a lot like how soldiers returned from the Great War treat their experiences. I can never understand exactly what they went through even if they tell me, but I probably have a better understanding of how they feel than most."[/color]

Alice,Emily nods. "So this 'Carnamagos book' that Reverend Phillips said he took from Bishop. I guess that's what... Mrs Hope's killer was looking for when he tore the library apart."

Henry Appleton looks over at Emily and Alice, wondering what they're whispering about. Probably some girlish gossip, he decides.

"Do mind the current."Harrison offers. He'd offer to swim it himself but currents scare him.

Emily,
[color=fuchsia]"If it wasn't there, it's possible he found and took it,"[/color] says [b]Alice[/b]. [color=fuchsia]"We also need to find out the motive. She had the number 1 carved in her, which suggests there will be more. We need to figure out who's next so we can prevent further murders, and to do that, we need to know why."[/color]
