[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 1803848, member: 114"] Anne-Marie spots someone slip out of a side door - she pushes her way through the screaming crowds and bursts through the door, a room and an outside door. A carriage lurches away as the driver cracks his whip and she leaps in pursuit. M’ir followed in Anne-Maries wake but can’t match her speed so he returns to the ballroom where Trajan is managing to call for calm by dint of his personality and big voice. M’ir describes the man who is attempting to escape and someone says “Sounds like councillor Jonne. Where is here?” In moments they have confirmed that councillor Jonne is indeed the one who has made a break for it. Anne-Marie pounds powerfully along the road after the carriage, and although it is already travelling faster than a man can run under the whip of the driver she is closing in thanks to the magic in her boots. Suddenly she leaps, flies through the air and lands on the rear of the carriage. She works her way round to the door and tears it open, but is surprised to find a shadow figure inside that strikes with huge claws at her! Dodging and twisting to avoid taking damage she starts to grapple with the occupant of the carriage, shouting out to the driver “Stop the carriage! You have a monster on board, not a man!” The driver leans down over towards her and kicks at her head; slightly off balance the occupant of the carriage is able to win the grapple and throw her from the carriage. She tucks up into a ball and rolls as she hits the ground, avoiding the worst of the damage. But when she is up on her feet again all that remains of the carriage is the distant sound of hoofbeats away in the streets of the town. She jogs back to the ballroom. Back at the scene of the murder, Trajan collects the broken pieces of the glass up carefully so that they can be examined for traces. Countess Naomi has dried her tears and seems possessed by an icy calm. “Trajan, I want you to take charge of this investigation. I want an outsider to Bridlerest and you are the only person that I can trust who is close to hand. Find out who murdered my husband” She assigns a pair of guards to escort Trajan and his friends to the Guild of Four along with a letter bearing the Countess’ seal as authority for requesting magical investigation of the glass fragments. The duty guildsman doesn’t like the idea of waking up his superiors but is persuaded by the seal and the presence of the Count’s guards to comply. In the circumstances Ravi, one of the heads of the guild comes down to consult with them. He points out that nobody has the right spells prepared at the moment, but if the party would like to use his guest accomodation he will ensure that adequate magical preparations are made in the morning for the investigation. As they settle down for the night, carefully guarding their evidence, they can’t help wondering - who is the murderer? Is it councillor Jonne? What was his motive? All will be revealed... [/QUOTE]
