Kim Kitsuragi: The lieutenant studies the trap with you. "Well, the bait worked on *something*. This doesn't mean it was a reed-monster, though. Unless you see one in there? I just see an empty trap..."
120
Perception (Sight): The netting is a little untidy, messier than the others. Like someone or something picked up the trap and shook it before dropping it back down on the ground.
58->120

Kim Kitsuragi: He purses his lips. "Perhaps our cryptozoologists have competition in the form of an actual entomologist? Or someone else is sabotaging them? I could present more theories, but then I would be taking this on as a case -- which I'm *not*."
61->52

You: "But what if it *was* the phasmid? What if it ate them and got out?"

You: "Yeah, it probably *wasn't* the phasmid, but still. Morell needs to know."
