Transcript of this chapter:

crystal: Well, it looks like everyone is running around town trying to find the urn. That's pointless.
crystal: It doesn't strike me as a productive strategy. And they think that I'm the one who took it.
crystal: It looks like it's up to me to find the culprit. We'll never find the urn without first finding the person who took it. I need to be on the lookout for strange behavior.
crystal: This room is the heart of Spider Cliff. There's no place more public than here.
crystal: I don't see anything unusual, though. I greatly doubt anyone would hide the urn in here.
crystal: Well, I guess there's nothing to learn in here.
crystal: Hold on a minute... I hear movement in the back room. I thought everyone had left.
crystal: I'll just take a quick peek back there...
crystal: Okay, this definitely qualifies as strange behavior.
rebecca: Vedalia... Vedalia, I need to talk to you.
vedalia: Good morning, Rebecca. Is something the matter?
rebecca: Vedalia, I need to talk to Tebbs. It's important. Can you tell me where he is?
vedalia: Oh, he's on one of his fishing trips. I wouldn't know exactly where.
rebecca: Please, Vedalia... this is really important.
vedalia: If I know Tebbs, he'll be back late tonight. Very late. What's the matter, Rebecca? Did Eliza take possession of something important to you again?
vedalia: I'd expect more attentiveness from you, Rebecca. I think you're slipping. Next I'll be hearing that you're letting demons stay here in town.
rebecca: Heh...
vedalia: Wait! There's evil nearby...
crystal: That was most educational. Now what did all that mean?
crystal: Eliza looks like the prime suspect, now. She took possession of something important.
crystal: But why would she take it? She seems too rational to buy into all that magical stuff.
crystal: There seem to be more people in town than I was lead to believe.
crystal: This Vedalia sounds like the real person in charge of Spider Cliff. It sounds like she's a shut-in.
crystal: And who is this Tebbs? How can he help find the mayor?
crystal: I got it. I bet he was supposed to be guarding the urn, but went off on a fishing trip instead.
crystal: It's time to see what Eliza has to say. I don't have a lot of time to waste, and she looks like the best place to start.
