Ptolus: The Legend of Longcoat

[Dave Turner]

"True, it was just a possibility, but yur right, there are any number of explanations why there was no mark left. Heck teleportation, incorporeality, magic can us many ways to accomplish what the mundane could not. Splitting up sounds like a good idea. I'll go find the watch and bring them here." replies Maugra as she looks up into the rainy sky. Her lantern sizzles as the rain drops pound into it.

"It seems this murder occurred recently. Longcoat may still be out and about. No one should be alone. I'll go with Maugra."

Akilu turns to Vanden.

"Take someone with you, Vanden. After all, you don't even have a dagger to put between you and Longcoat," he says with a glint in his black eyes.

As he turns to leave, he considers Jossen's words.

"There are other questions, like what was Watchman Natchmann doing down here in the alley which no one comes down?"

"That's a good question. There are easier and more pleasant ways to get some action." Akilu suppresses a mild shudder at the thought of Klina.

"I should still like to see and speak with this Coraithe Whitetree," the eunuch says. "Klina said she's often to be found nearby, perhaps she has knows of this most recent murder?"

Garnet nods at the "eunuch's" words. He too would much rather speak with the spirit then converse with the Ptolus watch. "I will join you in the search for Coraithe."

[sblock=ooc]OK, Grant, Maugra and Akilu are going to look for the watch, is that correct? Are you going to look for street patrols or head to the Docks station house?

Garnet and Vanden are going to look for Coraithe? Where are you looking?

Is Jossen sitting tight? Is he going to be doing anything in particular, or just standing guard over the body?[/sblock]

If Jossen is going to be alone, Akilu volunteers to stay with him. Akilu's big on not leaving anyone alone.

[sblock=OOC]Though he would be loath to admit it, being alone in an alley with a mutiated corpse, where a killer with what may be supernatural power may be close, was not making Jossen fell particularly happy, or safe. I think he would be very happy for some company [/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]Garnet and Vanden are going to look for Coraithe? Where are you looking?[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]Adjacent alleys, streets and abandoned buildings. Keeping relatively near where we found Klina as per her instructions of where Coraithe dwells.[/sblock]

Grant and Maugra, grateful to get away from the body of the slain guardsman, step back onto the wet sand of Salt Spray Street, ignoring the rain beating down on their heads.

Garnet and Vanden are behind them, but linger in the intersection, looking between the bakery, the bar and the alley opposite the one where Klina showed them the body. Of the half-orc prostitute herself, there is no sign.

Back with the slain watchman, Jossen attempts to find a place to keep relatively warm and dry, while the darfellan leans back, relishing the cool clean water splashing over his skin.

[sblock=ooc]OK, where each group of searchers looks in particular is up to you guys. Those searching for Coraithe have some very specific choices. Those looking for the watch can either go knocking on doors or head to the station house, which is almost at the other end of the Docks.[/sblock]

 

[Cthulhudrew]

Vanden looks to Garnet. "Any suggestions? I am afraid I am not overly familiar with this area." He rubs his chin thoughtfully. "Klina said that Coraithe's spirit wanders up and down this lane, so perhaps we should remain on the main streets, rather than the alleyways?"

 

[Wrahn]

Looking around the crime scene, Jossen will look around the alley for anything out of place. To his companion, as he is looking he will speak casually, "It is a very brave thing to volunteer to help these people, by the look of this, we may have signed on for more than we bargained for."

Addressing Grant, "I only know the watch house at the other end of the Docks. Shouldnt take more than a few minutes to get there unless you know somewhere closer?" Maugra says, blinking the rain from her eyes. She yet carries the lantern, forgetting to leave it with those in the dark.
