Diplomatic Immunity: Funeral Procession

[Erekose13]

ooc: doh okay. hmm so that didnt really help eliminate too many people. do we know what other staff were on hand or who to talk to next?

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Even if your timing was right, it still wouldn't eliminate anyone unless you made the assumption that they didn't do it quickly on the way from place to place, or earlier.)

 

[Erekose13]

(ooc: I'm lost again then. Having spoken to people we have no concrete timelines from anyone but the servants so far right?)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: You have decently concrete (though obviously not 100% verified) timelines, but the problem is that even 'I was at the whole dinner' if true could still leave the possibility that the person left for the lavatory, which might have been enough time for the murder)

OOC: That's where how far X is from Y comes in to the equation, so we can determine how long it would have taken Z to get there and back.

(ooc ah I getcha. shall we check that out next then? Its a good one to get out of the way)

Tiberius Lucius Magnus, Male Praetor Warmage

“Well, let’s go see how long it would take to get from Ammon’s quarters to the location of the dinner then,” Tiberius says, quickly checking with Chantalle to make sure of the exact location, before they head off.

*Tiberius determines that from the base of Ammon's window to the place where the dinner was being held is an easy five minutes at a comfortable walk, faster at a brisk pace, and probably faster yet using magic.*

*Once they’ve worked out the distances and times involved, Tiberius sighs and shakes his head.*

“Well, we can’t eliminate anyone from suspicion with that evidence, especially considering where the dinner was held, as quick jaunt to Ammon’s quarters and back during dinner probably wouldn’t even have caused comment... damn, I’d hoped we could cross a few people off our list at least, but it seems it won’t be quite as easy as that.”

 

[Erekose13]

"That didn't help. Was there anyone that was not at the dinner? Perhaps we should start with our questioning again. I'm not suggesting we rule out those at the dinner, merely to move in a slightly different direction for the moment." replies the Mythweaver.
