I am bowing out. I hope the game goes well.
Hroethgar presents the sealed writ to the guard.
Why would the cook want to make it look like the vae thought? He could have just killed him an left no calling card. Why the cards and where i he get them?Hroethgar muses out loud.
Hroethgar searches him for other weapons after removing the dagger from his reach.
Colorsprays from Hroethgar's fingers directly at the assassin.
And yet you came straight here...not smart at all especially if the vai figure you tried to set them up. Hroethgar states rather nonchalantly.The watch and house Sadar are going to want resolution to the murder. That itself may cause the scandal you hoped to avoid.
Why the vai calling cards then? Hroethgar demands
Hroethgar gathers his vials quickly and follows closely
Please lead us to the injured party. We have some questions to ask them about their whereabouts and injuries.Hroethgar asks somewhat gruffly.
Please summon Nikolai and have the necklace brought."
Who else knows of your affair? Can we see the necklace? hroethgar asks
When did you last see your lover? WHo here would disagree with your tryst enough to interfere so directly? Hroethgar asks while continuing to twist the vials in his fingers.
It does appear that someone hereis the murderer. I think it would still create a mess if others found out about the murder and the affair. Don't you?Hreothgar says softly. Will you help avoid a scandal by helping us find whom was responsible?
Hroethgar continues to twirl the vials in his hands while he observes the lady.
yes we did. Were you aware that Lord Sadar is dead? hroethgar states directly.
We are here to talk to Peilope on a personal matter. She will want to see us. Hroethgar states simply.
Hroethgar looks at Maicoh waiting for him to lead. He paces the courtyard while waiting.
Sometimes passion ignites to fire. Maybe that's the real reason that the "master" is dead. speculates Hroethgar
sorry if I offended not my intent. I know I have jumped in a couple of times and not intended to nor realized I had til after I posted. That is why my one of my last posts was to try and get me out of the room with you and give you more freedom to interact.
Just stating how I am feeling right now about game. NO passive agressive intended if it comes off that way.
Can we all do better at posting more frequently? My interest in the game is still peaked at this point especially with the setting. Thanks for letting me have my say and express my concerns.
Hreothgar paces waiting for the rest of the group to gather.
Breva ! Breva! and Breva! I need more information. WOuld some one not speak and hurry. We don't want "mistress" to escape or have time to prepare for our assault. We need to get moving. Hroethgar begins his pacing making small concentric circles one way and then the other causing some small clumps and stuff to fly up under his hooves. He takes time to make sure that he isn't walking on the footprints leading out of the house.
I dig in my "bag" and pull out ink and a scroll case. Opening the case, I carefully remove one of the pieces of paper and finding a hard surface begin to write [i]I,Trevoy Malkin, of the city watch and commander of the fifth squad, do here by turn the murder of Lord Renn Sadar, over to Hroethgar,Angues,Lizzette, and Maioch. They have all rights and power to investigate as they see worthy with in the bounds of our law."[i] finishing the writing I hold it out to Captain Malkin for his signature and date. Upon signature, I take out another paper and write the same thing on it. I then hold it up for signature as well. I take wax and a candle and quickly seal this one with the seal of the watchmen. Both are then returned to their place with in the cases and placed back in my gear. Now that that is out of the way and this investigation can be formally run by our team, what do you all have to report about the footprints and things you discovered? hroethgar demands a bit less aggressively to his team.
so..I am noticing that angeus and I are the only real posters here.Occasionally lizette and that we as a group aren't posting once a day. Does that mean the game is fizzling out already?
Thanks where can he be found? Hroethgar asks somewhat softer than before as if making an effort.
Which of the servants were his personal servants? Names please it'll make it easier on all here. Hroethgar is a little smoother with his comment that time. Creta, much better with the words. I don't think I offended that time Hroethgar thinks to himself
Breva....I hate tears especially when I cause them unintentionally. Hroethgar continues to pace pouring one vial into another and back again. I'm glad we have someone here softer with words than I. That should help some.
Where did he usually take his latest tryst? It had to have happened more than once I am sure. Hroethgar says somewhat agitated at not seeming to get anywhere with all this.
Hmm something still doesn't feel right. When did you last see your husband alive? We need to establish a time frame for this murder to have occurred. The last one with him before he was discovered dead was who? And where are they now? Hroethgar tosses his braid over his shoulder as he gives a quick shake to accent his frustration.
But he had a habit of seeking company elsewhere. That is ultimately what led him to die. Hroethgar states directly Veca still to blunt...but maybe blunt will help this once. Hroethgar draw for a few vials and begins again to mix things as an attempt to force patience on the impatient inner beast. After a few minutes of mixing, he downs the concoction and immediately begins to cough and sputter. cchchchhc ---Not a ---- chchchchcncnc good combo. turning pale he begins to eject the goo from the previously imbibed drink. Hroethgar looks a bit nauseated from the experience. Maybe I should avoid mixing in the essence of liver and fennel with the base for orc grog. Not an experience I want again. Although, my muscles seem to feel more strength from the concoction....May be I can shift it a bit and get a physical boost. hmmm back to the drawing board I'll mull that one over and try again later.
Receiving no response initially, I begin a slow and methodical search of the room. I check to see if there is mud. Condition of shoes not worn by lady and anything else that is out of place or might indicate the murder came this way. search:
I acknowledge the lady in tears and glance about the room.
hey anyone remember what race sadar the murdered guy is? I thought I knew but can't think of it nor did I see it in the thread. Not sure what I was thinking though.
Lead or fetch.I command the maid. Be quick about it as well I pace while waiting for the maid to respond. I am much better when we have a task that doesn't involve the cooperation of people. Patience is something I must work on.
I walk towards the made rubbing the brooch in such away to draw attention to t from her. look at this lovely thing.It's a shame that the mistress left it in the hall.
I stoop and pick up the brooch to examine it more closely. After examining it, I pin it to my shirt and walk back to the group. This was in the hallI motion to the brooch. looks like it was dropped upon entering or leaving Sadar's room. I'd like to know if its magical or just a brooch and what story it could tell us.
Reentering the room of death, I flare my nostrils at the scent and scene. The hallway leads to servants quarters like she said. That way is also concealed. Most likely to allow the servants to do their job unseen. Or to smuggle in mistress's. Rumors have it dead man's had a few. I walk to the door and look up the hall both ways. Taking a random thought, I turn and walk deeper into the house. When I come to the next hallway I stop and look down it. hmm... maybe to much guess work at this point. Let's see what the others have uncovered. I stride purposely back towards the others. Footprints? Do we have anyone that can track in the city?
I follow being careful not to bump the walls as I pass through. As we come out of the entrance I sniff as I look around trying to get a view of surrounding area. Seeing several doors up the hallway I am satisfied that the passage is what it is said to be. I turn and look back at the entrance of the passage to see if it is "hidden" as well.
Show me! You go and I will follow. I say to the maid. My 7ft 11 inches sure to fill a large portion of the passage. Waiting for the maid, I stand fully erect and shake my head slightly loosening the muscles in my neck. Well? I demand when the maid doesn't immediately respond.
Someone wanted him dead enough to hire a vai or atleast someone clever enough to make it look like via did this.But good gather nonetheless Angeus.
I need to listen and think. Lets calm while I do a simple exercise should do. Walking from the general area, I pull several vials out one at a time and fill them with chemicals and ingredients from my pouches. The substance begins to boil then goes inert. It becomes the ingredient for the next and so forth. There that works simple experiential mixing always calms my nerves. creva to much talking I can't sort much out. I'll just wait I guess though I hate waiting.
I walk over and look at the body. where are the wounds located? do they all look like the same weapon made them?
Reaching inside his clothing and pouches, he withdraws several vials and flasks of things and lies them at his feet in a careful manner.
My posts will usually be later in the day (mountain standard time...I have no idea what time that equates to gm.) I work 10 hr days 4 days a week and usually am not home til after 7pm. It won't be a problem to post though just thought I'd give all a heads up.
Hroethgar lifts his head and sniffs the air, testing it for scents of magic or mayhem. Nothing! Always nothing!I get frustrated over the smallest things and then I can't find a way to release this aggression. Seems like the dice are against me this night. He lowers his head and begins to mutter under his breath in a strange language. |
