Rumors....
Rumor had it that a certain poet had seen something last weekend. Rumor has it that the poet picked something up at said event, after two shadowy men had left. Rumor has it he was bringing the objects to the guardsman Jefecra for unknown reasons. Rumor also has it that the poet was robbed and killed right in front of Kada's, and that no objects were found on him.
Rumor has it the poet was a powerful empath, and that when a powerful empath dies, his last thoughts are often absorbed by whatever he was holding at the time. Further rumor has it that if a person holds this object tighly in the exact spot the empath was killed, the holder will see those exact thoughts, right then, or later in dreams.
[[Aka, first person who finds out what those object were, and 'takes' them (as they were not 'real' objects) from who has them now (by any means deemed....well, you get the point) ....gets a first person view of the encounter the poet saw, and was going to tell the guard about.]]
The symptoms of the cold are slighly worse today. Everyone will have gotten cold fingers at exactly the same time.
