SUMMONING THE CAPRA DEMON

The Pirates seem to be attempting to awaken a Capra demon. Through interrogating pirates and raiding Iris's home, the following information has been recovered. So far we know that it involves collecting certain items. All or some of these items require some amount of time located inside of a "Vessel". So far this role has been played by slaves, likely out of ease of access. Past experience indicates that these Vessels may need to be young and female, and the process of becoming a vessel may require a level of brutality. This is merely conjecture, as the people finding and preparing said vessels are sadists and may just be throwing these requirements in for fun.

List of ingredients found in Iris's Home:
"Items may or may not need to be from a special source as the teeth came from a dire wolf alpha. May be necessary, may just affect power of ritual. They have likely three of the five already. The teeth, Samantha, and a third item mentioned by Eric Halliday which was recovered from Eastfield. Also according to Eric, there isnt anything delaying Jack after that. As soon as he has all the ingredients, he can and will proceed."
