Port Wurtz

Port Wurtz is a small town on Rinks Island, in the middle of the Sock Rash Sea. The town, as well as the island itself, are only seen during the events of The Sword of Blade. It is the only known town in the tiny state of Rinks Island. Blade visited the town for around a week, where he uncovered a murder mystery hoax.

2124 and the Murder Mystery
During late 2124, the revenge-seeking warrior Blade was on a voyage from New Pork to St. Jane City on a trawler. Halfway through the journey, they were ambushed by a gang of Pirates who were working for the evil gangster Dirken, arch-enemy of Blade. After defeating the pirates, the trawler crew were left weakened. As the captain was among the victims of the attack, Blade took control of the boat and averted course to the nearby Rinks Island. They docked at Port Wurtz harbor.

Blade immediately noticed how strange the town and its people were. 2 days after the arrival, 2 women were murdered, and 4 more were murdered the following day. Blade called a town meeting at the hall. He urged people to help him look for the killer and bring them down. All of the townspeople were afraid, all but a man named Ryan Tattlefist; and the mayor of the town, Mayor Digby.

Blade and Ryan investigated around the town and surrounding areas but found near to nothing. One night, Digby payed Blade a visit and told him that he had evidence suggesting that Ryan was the real killer and that he should be taken into custody and executed. Blade agreed and called Ryan, telling him to meet him at the Rec Center. Once Blade arrived, Ryan discovered why he had asked to meet and the two fought for a while. Eventually, Ryan got the upper hand and was on top of Blade. Blade took out his hidden blade and stabbed him in the neck, killing the man. Suddenly, Blade was knocked unconscious.

He awoke in a dark shack, tied up to a chair. Digby, Dirken and Rascal entered the room. Digby revealed to Blade that he was indeed the true murderer and that he was an old friend of Dirken and that he killed the women to catch Blade off guard and kidnap him for the former. Dirken and Rascal left for Mayhem City while Digby watched over Blade. He was preparing to torture him when Blade escaped and killed Digby. He went back into Port Wurtz the next day and told everyone about Mayor Digby and his plans. The Doctor of the island was then elected mayor and Blade left for Mayhem City to kill Dirken. Blade never returned to the town again.
