Well shoot.  Apparently you are going to need to make one of the requirements 'needs a fluffy pet' at least for one person.

In reply to Precious (msg # 47):

Alison left me keep the character around. She'll be around. We can have a replacement player or you could control her with sidekick rules.

Lets see if someone wants to play it as a full PC, that is always better than trying to use the RPOL method of dual character control.

Well, the game is open now. Let's get back on track.

Awesome. Hopefully we get someone soon.

If I recall correctly Vinnick and me are drumming up some leads at a bar?

Let's hope he wants to come back

New-Alison here, Looking forward to a fresh new start with you all. :)

Welcome to the game.

And with Lia now on board, I think we have a party again. I'll write a send off for Vinnie that leaves the door open for him coming back and we'll restart.

Tomorrow is the day

yay

I suspect that at this point we could all use some kind of refresher to bring us up to speed.

So after a quick read through of the posts up to this point the situation is thus: there has been a tragic series of murders, three in total and all of them women killed within the poor districts of Ondinium. We collectively have been called in General Commander Luzitanne to perform a parallel investigation into the murders since she is suspicious over if the City Watch, those normally in charge of such things, is involved somehow. We only just got out assignment and are now tracking down leads at the Stone Sword, a known gathering place for City Watchmen.

Other pertinent details are in the OOC text of msg #13 in Hunting by gaslight.

Giving a chance to Precious and Allison to post

I swear I posted this morning, but it's not there. I'll get something out there as soon as I get back home.

Sorry. I'll update tomorrow

SO what do you need from me to post? Did I miss something?

I guess personally Titus doesn't have the skills to be of much more use her. The blood gives us a broad lead that we can follow up on if people don't have any more questions.

We've got some info, but I think most of us are pretty new to the game, so what we do with that information now is a little...uncertain. Are we supposed to take it to superiors, or investigate it on our own? Since these are repeated murders, does this information match up with previous information enough to give us something to go off of and know how to act on it?

I think it's good info, I'm just not entirely sure what to do with it.

The instructions were to investigate on your own, away from headquarters and with no paper trail.

Facts known.

- There is a potential witness in Dhur the orphan who is missing, but likely wasn't abducted going by the MO of the attacker. He is likely to be hiding around the City or in the sewers.
- The last killing happened at night.
- There is blood in the scene that doesn't match the victim and isn't human. It is possibly of a Gubelim. Likely it belonged to the attacker as the victim seems to have hurt the attacker with the broken bottle.
- Apart from the attacker's blood, the scene isn't fundamentally different from previous ones.
- The attacker manages to constantly evade the Watch. Might have inside information.
- One of the secretaries is worried about Dave one of the newer recruits.
- Dave is also in the scene. It is up to you to decide if he is trusworthy or not.
- Dave attempted to take away the other child in the scene, the one that is a witness by proxy.

Does Lia know about fact #6 (the secretary's suspicions)?

In reply to Lia (msg # 69):

That was revealed to Precious when she read the room back in the tavern. Speaking of Precious, where is she?

Ok, so Lia can't act on that until Precious shares. However, that doesn't stop her having the beginnings of a dislike for Dave.
