The librarian leaves the desk for a moment and comes back with 2 newspapers, a few yearbooks, and a note on where to find the book. "I hope this helps." she says with a smile. "The book you are looking for is in the Biochemistry section upstairs, good luck!". You thank her and go up the stairs to find the book. You manage to find the title after a little searching, The Future Of Biochemistry...intriguing.
You sit down and take a look at the newspapers first. The first one has an article with the headline "Dr. Roger Liverman Says Goodbye To University". The article says basically what you already know from Prof. Jones about how Liverman left the school possibly due to some experiments he was performing. The only extra detail you get from this article is that Liverman left exactly two years ago.
The other article has the heading "Biochemist Dies In House Fire". It says that Jacob Prestor was slain in a fire in his house over the weekend and was involved in some type of biochemical research with local scientist Roger Liverman. There is a statement that Liverman himself made stating that Prestor was using the name David Champs. Anyone with information concerning David should contact the legal firm of Browning and Whitman.
The yearbooks don't reveal anything. Apparently Dr. Liverman was not the photogenic type and his photo is not in any of the yearboooks nor is any valuable information about him.
I'll need you to make a research roll with a -2 penalty if you are going to try to look through that book. You could just do what's called "take 20" where you spend a decent amount of time and get an automatic 20.
At this last part, Clover found herself sitting up straighter. It was times like this that she was ashamed that she hadn't though to subscribe to some newspapers to read. She felt like the Internet left so much to be desired!
She smiled invitingly, trying to hide her excitement and manage to merely sound interested, "Really? Well that's rather... helpful. Would you be able to help me find the book and the articles? Also, where does the library keep the old University yearbooks? I'd like very much to see what students and faculty had to say about him when he was here. And yes, he left, I believe."
Yay! I feel like a genuine sleuth unraveling a mystery! ^.^*
