Diplomatic Immunity: Funeral Procession

"Just one more, I wanted to be sure you had said that Ammon had spoken with Rauncefaut prior to retiring, correct?" adds Mythweaver. He'll want to speak with this other guard who may have been the last (non-murderer) to have seen Ammon alive).

“I’m pretty sure Private Tijano said that Rauncefaut received word from the other guards that Ammon didn’t want ot be disturbed. I don’t think he spoke to him directly, but we’ll likely want to speak with all the other guards on duty now, to see if we can find the original guard who received the order and if any of them heard or saw anything since Ammon entered his quarters the previous evening.”
 


“So, back to the captain then, to make our next request and ask a few more questions,” Tiberius remarks to Mythweaver, before turning back to the guards, “Thank you gentlemen, dismissed... return to whatever you were doing.”
 


“Yes. I intend to inquire if any new guards were hired for the festivities, as that would be an easy way to slip in an assassin... if that’s what we’re looking at here of course. It certainly seems a possibility to my mind though, what with the dead stablehand on top of Ammon’s death. Also, we’ll want to find out exactly who’s been guarding and watching Ammon’s rooms since he left the dinner with Lynestra’s family the night before his death, as we need to find out who was the last person to see him alive.”
 

"More and more I'm begining to suspect that our murderer is someone capable of manipulating people's minds. Not only do both murders look like suicides, lending an question of how one could be forced to kill one's self, but no one seems to have seen our assassin enter Ammon's chambers. Invisibility is certainly within the realm of possibility here. But, yes lets find out if any of the guards are new here." replies Mythweaver.
 

*Mythweaver, Tiberius, and Claudia return to the captain, and Tiberius asks his questions:*

"Okay, I can get you that list. As to the guard situation--we did not hire new ones, but King Tyrus and his family brought a ceremonial honour guard from Lacadia with them here, and they were helping watch over the bride's family."
 


"I think that they mostly keep to themselves. There are...let's see, there are twelve of them. That's right, twelve for good luck, unless you also count Plydek, who is the honorary Lord Commander of Lacadia's Royal Guard."
