Vulpi has lived a very long time and seen many things in that time. While they have never encountered this phenomenon exactly (the bleeding eyes is certainly new), based on their behavior, they can deduce that these farmers are being controlled by some kind of magic.

"Do you know if they have something in common? Or something that separate them from the others that didn't get crazy? Are they living here with you? Or maybe they ate something together?"
Chispa asks Aunty Dellie.

"I don't know," Aunt Dellie admits. "Well, they're all farmers on the Rattle. Other than that, I can't say for sure what connects them. Lots of folk here are from the Rattle, after all."

Vulpi will share "I don't think this is a natural disease or anything, while not the exactly same, each time I've seen something like this it has been magic."

Zencho huff and puff.
"-Maybe they had a specific kind of drink? Or Messed up with some demon?"

Ha Yun looks over the farmers, and then decides to search them to see if they actually have clues on them.

Searching the farmers, Ha-Yun finds one of them is clutching a crumpled sheet of parchment. Opening it, she finds it bears a charcoal sketch of a child struggling to swim in dark water while being grasped at by hands beneath the surface.

Vulpi will ask about if there are any legends or stories in the area that involve similar things

Zencho look at the drawing.
"Well, that looks omenouse. It seems like it has been a process- if the kid had a time to draw this."

Puzzled, Aunt Dellie takes the paper and looks it over. The color drains from her face. "Oh, fuck," she whispers under her breath in concerned shock. Her strong voice shaking, she explains. "I've seen this before. My goddaughter, Kianna. I recognize her art style, and she draws this scene regularly. You see, when she was a kid, she saw her best friend Culley drown in Cradlelace Lake while they were playing. She always used art to help work through the grief and guilt she still carries to this day. She works a farm in the Rattle--about half a day from here. She was supposed to return to town for the festival, but...I haven't seen hide nor hair of her yet."
Steadying herself, she says, "Y'all are Shieldbearers, right? So let me hire you right now. Go to the Rattle, find my goddaughter, make sure she's safe. I'll stay here and try to organize a larger investigation. I can offer you a hundred gold, plus another hundred if you bring Kianna back safely."

"Well, I assume Ha-Yun will agree to help, as we all would, but we need some information." Chispa tells Dellie. "Is it the same farm of one of these farmers that your daughter is working in or are there many farms? Is there a reason that place is called Rattle? Are there many rattlesnakes? How old is your daughter, and how does she look? Now for going there, do you know anyone here with protections against magic?" When she mentions magic she looks at Vulpi, "Can you tell the type of magic involved?" Then another look at the restrained farmers, "We should also try to ask them what happened. Is there any close friends of them or even family that can try to communicate with them? It may help them return to themselves."
With all the questions and options Chispa believe are necessary before going to the Rattle to search Kianna, she stands near Ha-Yun waiting for her approval and insights. After all she did prove in their two last investigation to have superior talent in these matters and she also more decisive than the rest of the group. The hammer of Quetzalcoatl. She looks at her and stands tall, her eyes glitter with admiration. And now for the first time she also notice her perfection. She learns her face feature with eagerness, burn each detail in her memory, and for a moment her eyes flashes to her friend's body. But at the moment she understands what she is doing she snaps her look back, blushing in shame, and returns to look atAunt Dellie her thoughts a complete blur.
Staring blindly, she thinks to herself how could it be that she, such a plain dwarf, never close to pretty, could be standing by this perfection, the hammer of Quetzalcoatl. For the first time since Ha-Yun solved the involvement of the Pepper dude in the events in the market, Chispa started to doubt herself. Her tall stand immediately turns limp, and her eyes go back and forth between Aunt Dellie and the ground.

Does Vulpi have an idea of what type of magic?
