[QUOTE="mcnathan80, post: 3177079, member: 40529"] [I]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.[/I] 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.
