[Filtered away from children and anyone who would wish them harm]
[While she had preached that getting involved in castle fighting was futile, as their energies should be directed towards leaving always, Integra was still a human woman and these were children being snatched by a veritable monster.
She has kept quiet for now, absorbing the information others had been finding in their research and the morbid tally of missing youngsters. When she does finally speak up, her tone is hard as steel and filled with disgust, though not at her fellow prisoners for once.]
With the panic that has gripped those imprisoned here, it seems that so much vital information is being lost or left scattered where it is of little use. While such a situation is rightfully distressing, it is vital for the well-being of those captured children, and the ones left at risk here, that we do not lose our heads.
There has been a lot of good research done so far, with potentially useful information shared from many different sources.
An excellent start was made yesterday to keep the various pieces of information collected in one place. In an effort to keep order, I must request that anyone providing one of these 'gathered research' lists, would make sure to include the page numbers of the previous ones in choronological order.

First Collection of Research
# Information regarding various mythological and legendary child-snatchers. (Compiled from various sources in the library).
# Disappearance Eight.
# A drawing is found of a creature that appears to be a man/tree hybrid. The words "No Escape" are written above the drawing. (Found in the crime section of the library).
# The blood tree is noted to store the blood of the children until there is enough to be consumed, cannot be reasoned with or destroyed. Only human sacrifice has been proven to return missing children. -- Note; would offering a small amount of blood per person to fill the gauge be permitted?
# Residents attempt to satiate the tree with blood bags provided using castle wishes.
# An account is found of a boy in 'Maplegrove' seemingly falling to his death down a gorge, where the bloodied remains of a cow are strung up the next day. (Found in "True Strange Sightings on Planet Maplegrove")
# A diary entry is found about a child (Deema) having nightmares as well as disappearing children. (Found in the library).
# More cows are slaughtered in a thick fog, and the blood gauge rises.
# Another image of a tall figure is found.
# & # IMPORTANT: Safe houses have been organised for the remaining children. It is vital if you know a child that is not currently there, that you escort them immediately. Information was also found on an exocism that banished the creature. (Found in a book called 'Bloody Branches').
# Disappearance Nine.
# Disappearance Ten.
# Clearest photograph found of the abductor. (Taken from the Hendersons photograph album).
# Blood tree saplings are discovered south of the original.
# The name 'Slender Man' is attributed to the kidnapper.
# A diary entry is discovered about a child attempting to see the Slender Man.
# A story is shared regarding strength drawn from kidnapped children.
# Confirmation this is not the Beldam, as well as an eyewitness description.
# A further drawing is found, depicting the figure with a skull-like face.
# Death the Kid speaks of seeing Slender Man previously while dealing with 'spiders'.
