First thing Alex tells me is to go talk to Elizabeth, her mentor, because we need backup. Linda is trapped in a castle and Justin has possibly ran off to see some man named John Sandman who appears to be bad news, and was also formerly married to the Baroness, and is also Justin's grandfather.
It's bittersweet meeting Elizabeth. I really liked her my first playthrough
She tells me she'll help but first she wants to see something, and tells me to go stand in front of some magic rocks while holding a "stick" and concentrating real hard.
So of course I do as I'm told, no matter how stupid, and :o
They all glow for me! Interesting...
When I tell Elizabeth they all glow, she says it's remarkable and almost says that's never happened before but she cuts herself off. She also tells me to not tell anyone this happened, except maybe Alex since she's a Keeper of Aideen.
So then she tells me to go to Firgrove and ask about John Sandman there. So I go talk to the stable lady whose name I don't remember
She tells me to just go around asking old people if anybody knows him and I proceed to ask several identical old ladies scattered around Firgrove village if they know anything about a John Sandman
Seriously why are they all the same person? lol
Anyway, I finally got to the correct old lady, Mrs Packard
She tells me she pays her rent to a John Sandman and that he might be a member of the City Counsel and I should go ask the Councilman if he has a picture of him
The Councilman tells me that another girl just asked him for the same thing and when she took the picture she pulled out a knife and cut out John Sandman. He also goes on a rant about the youth of today being so bad. I already hate him
Then he points behind me and says she's still right there and I should chase her down and get the picture back, so of course I do
Her trail of firey hoofprint don't really make her the best choice for these secret missions tbh, they should send someone else.
Anyways, I got the picture and Mrs Packard gives me the post box address she sends her rent money to. I take them both back to Elizabeth and she thinks she recognizes John Sandman as Mr Sands, a Big Bad they're fought before. She tells me to take the picture to Alex to confirm.
Alex confirms that really does look like Mr Sands and we make a plan to write a letter to that post office box address and tell him to meet someone in Silverglade Village and then we’ll watch from afar and get a better look to see if he really is Mr Sands.
I sent the letter and now we wait to see if he shows up
