CSI: Sharn (Help create 100 corpses)

[Dannyalcatraz]

168. A Lich walks up to your corner table in the tavern where you routinely dine on Wednesday nights..."In 1000 years of searching, I have not been able to discover who is responsible for my death- and I so badly want my revenge!"

169. A body of a man wearing saffron robes is found in the middle of the road, his throat marked by ligatures. Despite the manner of his death, his countenance bears a blissful smile. A peasant's staff and beggar's bowl (nearly empty) sits beside him- even the small wooden cup of water in his hands seems undisturbed.

170. The body of a man clad entirely in the black of some Eastern rogue covered by a bluish tabard lies in a pool of blood...next to what is evidently his own spine!

In retrospect, 168 should have been:

A clutch of Zombies walk into the bar, each one dressed in the togs of the band of troubadours who had played in the tavern not a fortnight before...

The lead zombie, still corpulent and bearded rasps "Weeeeeeeee wouuuulllllld beeeeeeeee graaaaaaaatefuuulllll iffff yoouuuuuu wouulllld briiiiiing ouuuuuurrrrr kiiiillerrrrr tooooo juuuuusstiiice"

"Brainssss!"
"Brainssss!"
"Weeeeed!" *smack* "Brainssss!"
"Brainssss!"

The others chime in...

171. The victim is a teenager, male, and belonging to one of the houses. He is fairly important. He died from a fall from one of the tallest towers.

Investigation reveals the local teens are into "Splatting". It's a sort of race where two people have feather fall tokens, and jump from a tall tower. The goal is to be the first one on the ground safely, but to do that, you have to be the last one to use your feather token. So it's a free fall race to the ground, but apparently the victim's token didn't work. Either he had a used up one, or didn't activate the one he had.

Splatters.

172. The drowned corpse of the halfling is small, but the drain that it is lodged in is smaller. Also small is the bag of stolen shards, tied to the halfling's belt, that is caught in a small gap in the pipe. Had the thief been willing to untie the bag from his belt it seems likely that he could have escaped the confines of the drain before the rising waters caught him up....

173. A young backwoodsman's body is found on the shore of a river where he and his buddies had been noodling for fish. They had last seen him when something in the water dragged him under, screaming, presumably a large water predator.

The body, however, belies that theory: aquatic predators don't shear off limbs with surgical precision.

174. The young female elf's death did not go unwitnessed, though the location of her corpse remains unknown. The killers left an odd scrying mirror in the room that she had been sealed in. Another mirror, showing her slow death by hunger and thirst as it was reflected in the first mirror, was sent to her father's home. On the bricks that sealed what had been the door to her death chamber was written the word 'Remember'.
