Diplomatic Immunity: Funeral Procession

[Bront]

"Did you hear any other familiar voices when that happened?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Voices? Man making noise with mouth? No."

(OOC: Does the other pair have a standard set of questions so we can skip through this long list of guards quickly? Also, some are on duty, so they'll wait for those, but we can skip to that as well)

1. Name, rank, assigned position working our way back chronologically.
2. See anyone coming or going at all, even staff or other guards.
3. Notice any sound or movement coming from Lord Ammon’s rooms while you were on watch.
4. Receive the order that Ammon was not to be distrubed.
5. Last saw Ammon.

(OOC: Can I assume for the moment that you would stop once you found the most recent answers to questions such as who visited, or should I list all the comings and goings of the entire 48-hour window?)

*The guards recite a list of their names and ranks, none of which seems particularly interesting, though Rauncefaut is indeed the next one backwards in time at the door, as the others had stated. Some of the guards did see other staff and guards coming and going for regular-seeming business, including several maids who were turned away by the appropriate door guards because Lord Ammon did not want to be disturbed.*

*Eventually, they find the door guard who received the order from Ammon, also the last to have seen Ammon. This was the evening previous to the evening when his body was found. Private Lefou reports:*

"Yeah, Lady Lynestra came to visit Lord Ammon, and he met her at the door with a hug and a deep kiss and he didn't care if nobody saw, so I saw. Then he said he didn't want to be disturbed and he winked at me. He gave strict orders not to disturb him and to tell all the other guards to pass it on. Then they both went into his room to the bedroom. Lady Lynestra came out a few hours later to get to her own bed so that she could get ready for the receptions the next day, I guess."

We really only want a list of coming and goings, sound and movement, etc. from after the order not to disturb Ammon was delivered, until we found him, as that's the period we're currently investigating.

(OOC: That is what I thought As listed, after he gave the order not to disturb him, nobody else went in--some guards and servants passed by, but none entered his chambers.)

“Did Lady Lynestra say anything when she departed Lord Ammon’s chambers?” Tiberius inquires, “As I would have thought the do not disturb order was only meant to apply while Lady Lynestra was present.”

 

[Rystil Arden]

"No, she didn't. She smiled and waved to me, though. Lady Lynestra is always kind, even to the servants and guards. Lord Ammon was specific that the do not disturb order was to apply through the next day until he came out and ordered otherwise. I figured maybe he was planning on drinking with his bride-to-be and getting hung over or perhaps on sleeping in."

OOC: So no one saw or heard anything after Lynestra left? You know I suspected it would be Lynestra who was last seen with him, though whether it was actually Lynestra is the real question.
