A Murder at The Hag & Hound
Date: 2/53/151
General Summary
As members of various groups made their way to the tavern proper for a hot breakfast and something drink, a gruesome discovery is made. Forthwind Keenseeker , a respected member of the community and owner of The Hag & Hound was found dead in his office.
The city watch made a show of force and required all present patrons of the tavern and those who stayed the night in the inn be required to be interviewed. Many common folk who were present for the evening before witnessed Houghlen threatening the life of Forthwind, but his companions knew that he was unable to carry out such a threat.
After a mob had formed outside demanding justice, Caudacus Klent, Sargent of the watch, arrested Houghlen partially to protect him, but also because he is their only suspect. Sgt. Klent offered a bounty of 200 gold, of which he paid 10 up front to Auxi, to bring the true killer to justice.
The patrons, recognizing the temporary common goal, allied to find the person responsible.
Player actions and discoveries
Auxi Sae , Maitar Stewar , and Imra investigated the office and found keys to the home of Forthwind. There, they found the secret passage leading to tunnels under Edstow. They also found evidence connecting Forthwind to the politician and noble, Lord Kristion Harvey. Yendor De'sic , Lehiri , and Heiron Nymus discover that The Gold Roses may be involved with the attack. They also find they are well armed and camped somewhere in the hills outside of town. Martiri and Isla Heron track down the lead that Houghlen may have been drugged with Ylgs (ill-gus) weed, a flower that only blooms under the eye of Iovis (Iovis full, Vakiter new moon). Ylgs can be brewed into essentially a roofie, drastically increasing the effects of alcohol.
