====== The Roby Murders ======

Most of what is known about the Roby Murders is just that reported in the papers, or is hearsay (and the statement of [[Doctor Lionel Trollope]]). Over the campaign the investigators were about to confirm the following:
  * On October 14th 1926, Herbert Roby and his adult daughter Georgina were murdered at their home in Curzon St, Mayfair.
  * Mr Roby, a retired diplomat, was killed by a deep wound to the upper chest and completely exsanguinated, though almost no trace of his blood was found at the scene.
  * Georgina was killed by 2 or 3 blows from a large sharp implement, such as an axe, and bled profusely.
  * Mr Roby's younger son, [[Alexander Roby|Alexander]], was arrested at the scene after claiming responsibility, but instead of being charged was committed to [[St Agnes Asylum]], Herefordshire.

[[Doctor Frederick Bartlett|Dr. Bartlett]] has concluded that Roby attempted to summon creatures such as [[The Springer Mound Monsters]] in order to kill his father and that the creature or creatures got out of hand. He has no real evidence for this outlandish speculation.

After meeting Roby in [[Carcosa]], they learnt that the deaths of his Father and sister Georgina were a terrible, painful, mistake, one that Alexander will regret to the end of his days.
