[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 1820875, member: 114"] The "Guild of Four" artificers are unable to detect any magic in the shattered remains of the goblet at all, but the droplets of wine seem to be a powerful magic mutagenic poison – a precisely targeted one too, since it doesn’t seem to affect animals. When the shards are returned, M’ir decides to focus his seer talents on the objects. Holding them gently in his hand he lets his mind unfocus and there is a low hum discernable as he starts object reading. First he senses pain and horror and then agony as the duke dissolves. Further back in time he reaches and he sees a strong pair of hands working raw glass in a furnace, rotating, shaping, forming the glass goblet – but the whole image is suffused with raw hate, directed into the glass and towards a victim. The glass itself is to be the assassination weapon, somehow transforming the liquid placed in it into a deadly poison. But who? And why? And how could it be so precisely targeted? The next step seems to be to trace Councillor John. Their guard escort knows where he lives and takes them round to his house. His wife answers the door – prim, proper and polite. “I’m sorry, my Jonn isn’t available at the moment. Would you like to come in for some tea?” Trajan comes straight to the point “Has your husband got any reason to murder Count Issel?” “Far from it” she replies over tea and crumpets. “In the last month he and the Count have become much closer. I haven’t seen him since he left for the party last night though” “Do you now where he might be?” Taran enquires “Well, in the past I’d have directed you towards the seamstress’ guild down by the gully… but I’m not so sure now. These last few weeks he has been a changed man. Much more… attentive” she smiles coyly. They take their leave and find their way to the seamstress’ guild, where they are able to chat with Rosy the, uh, head of the guild. She knows Councillor Jonn well, but hasn’t seen him for a good month. It is a shame with him having been such a good customer over the years and all. The party retire to an inn to discuss what they have learned and attempt to put the pieces together. Things seem so random at the moment – a mysterious murder, a councillor who runs who has a mutable bodyguard, who was good friends with the count and whose traits have changed quite dramatically over the last month or so – changed for the better to all accounts. Since they arrived they have been hearing rumours about how much better things have been getting in recent months, how the councillors in general seem to be doing a better job. The best bet would be to ask Don Cullon to call the councillors for a meeting tomorrow afternoon and see if they can scare someone into giving something away... [/QUOTE]
