>>5169496>>5169514>>5169515I let an option to interrogate some characters more thourougly.
>>5169522>>5169538>>5169609>>5169922You quickly gave some orders to your men to take control of the situation. You had to know who was responsible and if this man had accomplices. You ordered.
-Bohémond, take two men with you, and some torches and try to find if this man has a horse nearby. Take the horse and search it’s saddle and pouches if there is one.
Ancel, I want you to search the man for clues with another guard. Then behead him. We will need his head.
Cop, take the four remaining men with you and arrest every member of the staff, I will interrogate them personally.
And dear Oldfossil, we will talk tomorrow, after we have assembled all the materials. You shall assist me with the interrogations.
You then heard some members of the staff complain. The Innkeeper said.
-But, your lordship, we did not do anything and...
The blonde lady singer cut him.
-No, he is right, I mean who would not suspect us. It was here that they tried to kill him. I mean... Maybe someone knows something... Llywarch, you were a bard at the adventurer’s guild. Maybe you know something ?
The man, a small chestnut haired lad with a beard answered.
-Yes but I never was more than a rank one bard. But they trained us... They taught us to recognise the important ranks of some guilds... Assassins for exemple must have a silver ring to attest that they are allowed to kill...
The guardsman who searched the body of the killer looked at you, no ring was to be found, on his severed arm or on the arm that was still attached to his torso. But you knew where to find it. So you said.
-Ancel, you scoundrel ! Give us back the ring !
Ancel le purineur seemed a bit ashamed and gave it. This man lived only for looting truly. He said.
-Of course messire... of course... I live to serve... I was only keeping it in case of theft...
-Against thieves... Of course...
You looked at Ancel when he gave the ring to the musician who said.
-An octopus with seven tentacles... It means that he was of rank seven... it’s... quite unbelievable...
People gasped at the news and looked at you in fear and awe. You did not understood why, maybe you should ask Oldfossil about this « rank » system.
They gave you the silver ring back and you ordered to see the witnesses one by one. You began by the innkeeper who said that he saw the man trying to enter and that he was disguised as a local peasant. He thought he was a patron and the man apparently tried to enter the kitchens when the innkeeper was in the stables.
In the kitchens two persons saw the killer, one of whom being your servant. He then tried to say her that he was from the staff but she said that she was already preparing your food. Then he returned to the innkeeper and asked him if he could help, the man then refused and said that with your servants he had already enough help.
