Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tonguez" data-source="post: 418475" data-attributes="member: 1125">I was once involved with a murder mystery which had 3 fun factors1. The PCs had just been part of a battle against a Necromancer and Zombi inions about a month earlier2. About a week after the murders began (and after 4th death) Zombi's attacked the local Morgue (Red Herring but the PCs immediately concluded that the Necromancer was involved!)3. A Mysterious figure in black was seen at the scene of each murder but quickly dissapeared when others arrive (- the PCs assume this is the murderer. In fact this figure was an NPC NG Spectre who was formerly a paladin until killed by a Spectre. The NPC is also investigating the murders, and towards the end begins to help the PCs)4, The Murderer is part of a Cult and is taking the hearts of his victims to be offered as sacrifices in return for which the Dark-god grants a new power (1 per sacrifice eg increase strength, ethereal jaunt, protection from detection<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />) ie the longer it takes to find the killer the harder it gets to stop him5. After 12  Hearts are offered the Dark-god will in fact take over the Killers body and in that way enter the world as the Avatar of Murder</blockquote>
