The Hunted: Day 1, Hour 1, Minute 3
As everyone rushes into the street and Earth heads towards the alley, a lieutenant of the city watch comes running up, her longsword drawn and six spear-armed city watch it tow. She looks around the scene grimly and scans the group of you.
"Its getting more brazen I see..." she glances at the Hanged Man. "Especially if it's willing to take someone here of all places. From what I've heard of the Hanged Man, I have the feeling that you lot are crazy, seeking danger and risk. If so, perfect."
She sees Earth heading to the alley and motions him over. "Whoever it took is already dead. This will only take a moment."
"If you have no interest in being deputized to help with a murder investigation, head back inside and enjoy your drinks. If you're willing to help, then gather around, I'll make this quick."
[sblock=In or out time]If you're leaving, now's the time. Let me know and have your character head back to the tavern. Otherwise, read on.[/sblock]
"Ok, you are now deputized inspectors for the city of Daunton. Congratulations, it might just get you killed. There's been a killer in the city the last few days. This is actually the least spectacular of its killings. It's killed eleven people at three different locations over the last couple nights.
"I'm not sure how its all related, the watch is currently being pressed to its limits trying to contain a devil-worshiping cult that's somehow taken root in the city and I've been trying to keep word of these murders from getting out to keep the city from panicking. If this gets out in the Screamer..." She shudders. "That would be exactly the sort of thing the devil-cult would use to launch an uprising."
She pulls out a small bundle of papers and hands one to each of the characters. "These make you deputy inspectors. You can get to any of the murder scenes with these. Also, show them at the guard tower and you have instant access to me. They also will give you near-unlimited access to the City Archives and Grand Library, should you wish to avail yourselves of their resources."
"Any questions?"
[sblock=Who we have right now]Earth, Warden 7
Neurotic's character, Sorcerer ?
Krav, Warlord 1
Raijin, Sorcerer 2
Rysethynn, Warden 1
Mab, Warlock 1
Xander, Cleric 1
I'm fine with taking 7 people. Earth is 5-6 levels above everyone else, but if everyone else is cool with you coming along, I am. I had some ideas about mixing high/low level characters that I'd like to try out anyway.[/sblock]
[sblock=Skills from here on out]I won't be using sblocks much in the bit to come. I'll talk about it more as we go, but essentially, unless there is an sblocked skill, everyone gets one "investigative" check at a time. The more checks you make, the more time it takes as you track the killer... If you want to use a skill and can justify it, try it! I'll be on as frequently as I can to give you results, at least twice a day, though I'll try for more.[/sblock]
