I put you there first because it was closer to the Cloudwood than the University Doctor Camp says, "I have no idea where Wolfgang is, but Kindleton works at Pardright University. I has many buildings in the Central District, you would probably have to confer with her class schedule to see where she exactly is.

Chretien and Johnathan take a carriage to Pardwright University to check up on Professor Kindleton and you meet her at her office in between classes and she says, "Professor Dufresne and the Constable, hmm I have met you once or twice in faculty meetings but it is odd that you are here with Constable Holbrook... interesting." She then gets really quiet and says, "I received a letter from Wolfgang this morning... it was all so cloak and dagger, I went to the butcher to buy my lunch cold cuts and amongst my stack of salami when I made my sandwich for lunch was a hand written not from Wolfi..."

Your only weapon is too big to be wielded inside the tank of water. I cannot believe your character doesn't have a backup weapon.

Angus

Spoiler:
Maybe in the safe, but you will have to wait. Angus goes to the office and fills out a form for the ferrets to go in and take care of the job. They will probably have it in by the morning of the fourth.

RHC Flint Local Headquarters, Central Quarter Flint, 3rd day of Summer 500aov, 8.00am. Dreary morning; heavy rain & storms forecast.
It's a black morning and a film of water seems to cover everything outside and indoors. The clouds are low, brooding over the city, and they are forecasting heavy rain and floods in Parity Lake this afternoon. Stover Delft and Angus are going over the leads in the case so far when the rest of you stumble in, head sore from the late night. Persons Of Interest, Leads and Witnesses, Clues and Evidence, Locations, and Victims and Missing.

Two new men you have seen around the office once or twice before also walk through door at the same time as you. Delft spucks some chaw into s spittoon near Chretien's desk and says "Well fellas, I have decided to take Merle and Mithas off this case and put these two fellas Porter and Falko onto Consulate Case, seems the Ragman murder needed a more straightforward types, hehehehe!"


Falko walks in with casual assurance, flashing a calm smile at all present, while replacing his white silk cravate: "I am Falko. I have heard only great things about your recent missions and I must say that I feel honored to be working with you on the Ragman case! ACI Delft kindly brought me up to speed, but I encourage you to fill in the details he might have missed."


Delft shakes his head and says, "I am putting you two on the Consulate Case, the old guys are going to the Ragman Case. This one needs a bit more finnesse." as he you hear the ching of the spittoon go off once more.


Falko takes his eyes off Delft's assistant: "Mmh? Oh yes, right! The Consulate case. Quite right! And a much better fit I would say ACI Delft!"

Sorry, read too fast...


"Finesse, you say...I think we could try adding some of that. Would you be so kind to give us the details?" - a playful smirk hangs on the corner of Porter's lips. A tall man, in his early forties, he wore a bit outdated, but still stylish gentleman's outfit, complemented with a sturdy polished steel pocket watch.

Broad shouldered and with athletic physique, Porter already had quite a few gray hairs. He held a large walking cane made from ash tree, with a massive silver hooked head.

"Consulate, you say...sounds familiar..." Knowledge/local: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12


No problem

Delft says, "'Chief Inpectress Saxby and the Danoran Consulate have okayed a statement so I sent this press release about the death of Nilesa Hume to the Flint Tribune last night, and it's in today's edition. I'll let you know if anyone contacts us about it.' as he hands over the paper.

Flint Tribune

Spoiler:
"Danoran security stopped a burglary at the consulate. The thief, a young woman from Flint, was killed jumping from the fourth floor of the Embassy. The RHC is continuing inquiries into the incident."

Delft continues "This case is very complex or better said layered. Hume, was working for or in conjunction with the Fey terrorist, Gale. She has gotten her hands on some illicit potions to enable her break in at the consulate. Whatever she stole ended up in the hands of a visiting Dr. from the Malice Lands. Any questions so far?"
