If the Something in the Water dread possibility is in play, this is a result of the Fiends of Châteaufaux poisoning the water before their removal from the city[1][1.3] in 741 BC[2] Unfortunately, this may have dire implications for Dr. Vilhelm Mikki and his famed clinic, for the locals are beginning to think him the cause.[1.4]
