[Risus] Law and Orcdom SVU - Tavern Troubles

(1/3) > >>

clockworkjoe:
Kell's Tavern - 1 AM - Saturday

A call comes into the station. Homicide at a local tavern, popular with adventurers. The case is immediately assigned to SVU. As with so many other nights, you drop what you're doing and head to Kell's Tavern.

A fine mist washes over you as you head over. Another storm elemental passing over the city-another illegal immigrant looking for work in the prime material plane. The night watch has already cordoned off the street in front of Kell's tavern by the time you get there. It's square in the middle of the slums, goblin shantys built on top of squat human tenements. The streets emptied after the night watch showed up.

The victim is Kell the 7th, owner and operator of the tavern, sprawled in the street in front of the tavern. A wicked drow dagger sticks out of his chest. Three watchmen stand by, eating glazed rations.

Welcome to the Law and Orcdom game. Post your character's name at the top of your post in bold. Post your actions as normal text. Post Out of character stuff in italics. For the purposes of this game, all characters can participate in all parts of the investigation. The lawyers have to stick lawyering type actions while the detections stick to detecting. But you're all members of the same team, so don't worry too much about proper protocol.

Tadanori Oyama:
Leer Royal

Leer kept his tail in his hand, unwilling to let it drag through the muck that was caking his boots. His red bowler had turned a dark brown from the mist.

An identical hat seemed to hoover to the side of his head, changing positions every few moments. He was in a bad mood. Not only was fadric from displacer beast hair expensive to maintain but it was essential to his "Haste Vision" and "My Unseen Servant Friend" set piece at the common room. Not that that mattered now, he'd long since missed his turn at the magic mouth enchantment.

He wiped gathering moisture for his tail with his sleeve. "Did the cleric cast up a "Cause of Death" yet? As if we needed it..."

dragonshaos:
Throkar

Throkar was just finishing up his 'conversation' with an uncomfortable chair he had been sitting in.  As it lay in pieces beyond repair, Throkar received a call informing him on the crime scene.

"Whut it look like?  Who did it?"  Was the response from Throkar.  he was reminded that it was his job to answer them.  Throkar had a 'conversation' with his phone after that remark.

He quickly grabbed his big, fuzzy red scarf, buttoned up his vest over his newly ironed shirt and walked out the door.  Returning moments later for pants.  He then headed in what he believes the direction of the crime scene.

How's this?

Maze:
Dagbert Stinkeye

Dagbert was more annoyed than anything when they received word of murder at the tavern. He never cared much for tavern owners.

He put Bolly back in his cage, took his overly large coat, fedora and was about to leave when he saw Throkar heading in towards the red flame district. He ran after him and brought him along to Kell's tavern.

"He probably just tried to trick yet another one of them 'venturers into another some made-up quest to save the world for a couple of gold pieces," he told the orc as they arrived on the scene.

He was given a quest to save the world himself once too, long ago...

He shook his head and nonchalantly walked over to the watchmen: "So what's the story, bud?"

Kell's Tavern

Sir Frank the head night watchman shakes his head. "Sorry but the night shift cleric is putting down a bad case of zombie rot down at the morgue. Won't be able to examine the body for at least a day. We secured the crime scene. Got a witness in the tavern cooling her heels, some bar wench. What do you want us to do?"

When you want to accomplish an important task, like investigating a crime scene, be sure to announce what ability you want to use and roll for it. Post once for the desription and skill roll. Then I will say if the roll fails or not.
