As the team of the City of Sharn Investigators stand looking at the horribly mangled body a light rain begins to fall, almost as if the city itself wept for the dead. Considering how commonplace death was in Sharn, perhaps this would explain why it rained so much. So many questions to consider: Who is this person, what is this person, and what exactly happened are the first to pop into their mind... quickly followed by, how can we profit form this. Another beautiful day in Sharn.
The crowd quickly begins to disperse thanks in part to the sudden change in the weather, and Pohl's strongarm tactics. A few of the onlookers even mutter curses under their breaths at the ranger.
Anders:[sblock]Feeling uncomfortable as always around this many people you begin to step back into the office when you hear Zenthil ask you to begin scanning the crowds to discern a reaction. You open your mind to the crowds allowing their shock and fear to assault your mind, the chaos of it all is almost overwhelming. You notice a goblin approach Pohl and attempt to read its thought. The creatures mind subconciously attempts to put up a barrier to your intrusions, but you effortlessly cut through it like a knife through hot butter
'Tell the stupid human you saw a man push the victim off a walkway, give a bogus description and take the money, then disappear.'[/sblock]
Zenthil:[sblock]The carnage is almost overwhelming. You haven't seen anything like this since the Last War, just the image of the victim sends your mind reeling back to your days as a front line correspondant. Fighting the looming nervous breakdown, you get to business. Taking a quick scan of the sky shows only bridges, walkways, and clouds; if anyone was up there they are obscured by cloud cover, or long gone. Searching through the victim's body for clues to identity reveals ID papers
Name: Haris ir'Rolan; Occupation: Student; Address: 216 Torchlit Ln, Center Bridge, Lower Menthis; Emergency Contact: Havis, and Lyddia ir'Rolan; there's a picture in the ID. [sblock]
[/sblock] You can only assume the man in the picture is the person laying before you. You spend the next ten minutes talking to the people as Pohl drives them away, but no meaningful information is gleaned other than no one could remember hearing the man scream before he hit the ground[/sblock]
Kalserath:[sblock]Taking note of the victim you are immediately assaulted with images of wars you've never fought in on planes you've never visited. For a moment you are left dazed as you take the scene in. Unnerved at the fact that the deformed victim could make you lose focus on reality you say a brief prayer to il-Yanna that the victim's soul will be guided to the blessed light and that they will perhaps be reborn in more pleasant circumstances. Scanning the crowd you notice a woman covered in blood huddled against a building wall. Feeling your quori spirit compelling you to act you go over to console her.[/sblock]
Pohl:[sblock]Seeing the devastation you immediately take control and begin clearing the crowd. You hear a couple of the people muttering under their breaths 'who does this guy think he is?', 'by order of house Tharashk? That guys got some nerve', 'mushy pile of flesh? That callous bastard!' Shortly after dispersing the crowd a goblin walks up to you "
Human, I have answers if you have coin."[/sblock]
Reech:[sblock]walking outside and giving a cursory examination of the body doesn't yield any immediate clues. Similarly scanning the crowd doesn't reveal anything out of the ordinary. However, if memory serves you right, Sharn has a standing order that any mage who saves a falling person by use of a spell will receive a 25 Galifar reward making falling deaths very uncommon.[/sblock]
Zade:[sblock]You do your best to take the scene in - considering your opium induced haze- and send Vellerith to scour the rooftops. After flying around for a couple moments Vallerith finally comes back and settles on your shoulder "
Sorry Zade, I didn't find anything"[/sblock]
[sblock=ooc]Welcome spicoli, glad to have you with us, please pick a color to represent your speaking.
Couple of things I noticed about your characters:
Bento:[sblock]Hey I completely didn't catch this, but you have absolutely no spells! Pick some spells! Also, if you could fix up your feat (investigator for talented) list, and skills (spot and listen for notice) it would make reading your sheet much easier[/sblock]
Spicoli:[sblock]You have one feat too many: Either lose a feat, or take a flaw. If you want to work something out we can make Zade's drug addiction a flaw, but it will have to have substantial in game effects, Sharn:City of Towers, has some good ideas, let me know if you want to go that route and we'll work something out. You know two more 1st lv spells, and I need you to declare a prohibited school. Also, Wizards get basic profs, or crossbows so go ahead and fix that. Plus you get one extra language due to your int bonus, oh, and stat up Vallerith. I don't know if you noticed, but it seems everyone chose investigate as a feat, you may want to consider choosing another feat since your search skill isn't that great, and I want you to be able to use all the feats you choose, of course you can do whatever you want and
should choose what is most fun for you. I think that's about it.[/sblock]
Reech:[sblock]No biggie, just need an explanation on what Able Learner actually does.[/sblock]
For what it's worth, I assume we're all hard working folks with stuff going on in our lives, so I'm pretty lenient on posting requirments. Post when you can, if you lag behind just catch up when you can. I'll NPC you if you're lagging in combat or any other important encounters. I'm more concerned with fun than time limits for posting.[/sblock]
