TSH: Ted's identity

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I'm not following you. The gold ring with the dark stone that Bax found in
the catfish had belonged to Ambrosius (270). It was the "weapon of sorcery"
wherein Ambrosius had stored some of his power, the item Goldwurm hadn't
been able to find (73). Ambrosius had supposedly been strangled and his body
thrown in a river (74), probably the same river we have been talking about.

Ted's body (the list of characters says he was Doris's "late husband") had
been placed in a casket and buried (36). So Ted's body was never in the
river. The body parts Lupine called up from the river had come from victims
of the "Horror Hound", as Martha called it (285).
