Off we go again.

"A murder you say, and there are animal marks? Let me get my coat coachmen and I'll be right over." Rod pulls on his coat, and grabs his emergency kit. He has dealt with animal mauling's before, but the local wildlife shouldn't be able to kill anyone.

Some time later at the hall, having looked at the damage to the building, certainly Rod's stomach can deal with dead animals but a cadaver does not sit well with him.

"Well, I'm quite frankly stumped." Rod turns to the coroner and the local head of the watch, a substitute for a head of police in Havonia. "It's certainly Canidae, but far too large for the local populous. I would focus my attention on the port, they may have bought an animal with them that's gotten loose."

"Good Morrow Gentlemen, it appears to me I have come at a most eventfull time. Poor fools..."

Walking on towards the crowd of townsfolk, she turns to her girls to hurry them along.

"Could any of you fine gentlemen point me in the direction of the local taven?"

"Well Well, ya'll are being mighty quiet, I understand the mouring of friends, but that is no reason to be rude and ignore a business woman like myself"

Heads off in search for the Taven to get her girls and herself settled in.

"Awwww my head..."

Vel woke up with one hell of a hangover, slummed on the floor of his tavern room. He had spent the night drinking with Mr. Huung and discussing the cost of high quality silk pajamas.

"Too many drinks with that Mr. Huung I guess...the more that Chinaman drank the lower the price got hehehe"

Vel got up and put on his best waistcoat and suit trousers (got to keep up the look of a rich merchant) before heading down the stairs to the tavern door. Before getting to the handle the door swung open and a stream of women poured in... looks like this town got interesting thought Vel stepping aside to let the ladies in.
Stepping out into the town Vel noticed a crowd and that Dr. Rod looking rather puzzled, time to investigate...

"Hey! What's up Doc?"
 

Dragon

What has happened here? I heard a scream during the night that made me shiver to the mark of my bones. And ... why do I smell wolves?

After some time Dragon adds: "Hmm as I have to go off mining again, I suppose it was the wolf in a sheep's pelt. We should take a deeper look into Mr. Ghostsheeps business here in town.
 

Huung

Well-Known Member
Ugh.... my head

*Mr Huung stumbles out of his house, bleary eyed and nursing his head*

Keep it down please all, some of us aren't doing so well this morning,,, say - Doc, what's going on over there?

*Mr Huung wanders over, curiosity getting the better of his usually sensible instincts*
 

Dr Drae

In Cryo Sleep
The good Dr Drae had made an acquaintance in the bar last night after a performance, and had been in bed. All day. One might congratulate him on his endurance, but really, it was just a large hangover.

Moving blearily out of his hut, he stumbles across the village grounds, noticing the flock of women that had just entered the tavern. He grins, before noticing the damage to the structure of the town hall. Grimacing, he moves towards the building, unaware of the terrible damage that had occurred within.

"What the?!"


Kneeling, he takes notice of the fact that the corpse is Tetsuo's, and shivers slightly when the REAL doctor announces that it was no normal mauling.

"What manner of demon could break down the door to our very own Town Hall..?"

In order to keep the game flowing, I'm going to change Night to 11PM BST, as most people only start to play in the latter half of the afternoon / early evening (I don't know if that's entirely work time related as some people don't work :p)

"Well..." Rod pauses, he was certainly no expert in the field of forensics. Allowing the simple explanation to come to the fore. "It appears an animal has gotten loose and injured, well, killed several people. I believe it must have gotten here using the port, I was indeed going to enquire with the recent arrival before she stormed off. I unfortunately take some time to recover from being around the smell of the murder scene..."

Rod takes a deep breath and walks back into the building to investigate further. He will far from let it on, but the size of these is monolithic, having ripped through wood in this way. He's not scared, he's excited. After all, the discovery of a new species would aid in propelling his career somewhat further.

"Well you heard Doc Rod sounds like we got some human hating beasts out there..."

Vel looks around the town for any signs of creatures watching. He shivers slightly.

"The man said that it may have come from the port, so either we have a creature smart enough to buy a boat pass or someone's brought it here on purpose. Now I'd hate to blame a lady but didn't those new girls get here on a boat last night?"

Also, note that Votes for lynching will be required, so far Dragon has voted for Mr Ghostsheep (apparently out of blind will) everyone else will need to have their votes in by 11PM! :)

Human hating beasts you say? Well, we have two newcomers to our town and all of a sudden this happens - coincidence? I doubt it. Mr La Flore has been around for a while now, but could have just been hiding this creature I suppose...

*Mr Huung ponders for a moment, stroking his long beard*

Then again, where would anyone keep a beast strong enough to rip through solid wood? Surely someone would have heard this monster?

Dragon, you claim to have heard screams last night - but why would you not have gone to check on what was happening? It seems frightfully irresponsible, I thought we helped each other in this small village? What has Havonia come to if we don't even look out for one another anymore?
You smelt wolves you say? Maybe this is what we're after - although how that nose of yours can distinguish wolves from the mangy stray dogs we have around here baffles me - rather "precise" I feel...

In fact - has anyone seen Mr Panda at all today? What if this beast has gotten to him too?

"We can only hope that Mr. Panda is safe... unless he's hanging low"

Vel gives an uneasy look at Mr. Huung and Drae. Then turns to Mr. Huung.

"I feel insulted that you could accuse me Mr. Huung, I've been nothing but civilized to you townsfolk and this clearly was done my an uncivilized cretin!
As for Dragon he seemed to point fingers father fast and then run off to his mines..."

"Gentlemen please, lets not get too hot under the collar. The facts as I see them is that the animal must have been brought into Havonia as its habitat does not support such a creature. The people we know who travel, or at least have travelled recently, those that we know are Mr. La Flore and this recent arrival. Of course, the traveller may have already left, Canidae can survive without food for a couple of days; which would be a given considering the shellshock of a sudden shift in habitat."

Rod steps forward, putting himself somewhat centre stage.

"I recommend, in good faith, Mr. La Flore you submit yourself to the investigation as well as the lady as and when we can ascertain where she went. If nothing but to help the investigation in finding this animal and making sure it cannot hurt anyone again."

I must admit, I feel very anxious that Mr Panda hasn't been seen all day... it leads me to believe that he may have fled after using a beast to carry out these attacks.

It also unnerves me that Dragon was so quick to place the blame on Mr Ghostsheep, and then run off to his mines after pointing the finger without any evidence whatsoever. Purely from this behaviour I feel Dragon is the most suspect, it doesn't bode well with me that he should hear a scream and not do anything about it, nor that he would run off in such a dire and serious situation.

"Feel free to search my room at the tavern for any beast if you must Doc, last time I looked pets aren't allowed in the Inn. As for my take on this I'm finding it hard to believe that Mr. Panda would not show his face he seems to be hiding from all this"

"I am an expert on the animal form dear sir. I'll leave the investigation to the experts."

Yeah... it seems right that the vote goes to Mr Vel la Flore for Rod.

The townsfolk are unable to make up their minds concisely and so an element of randomness has been put into play.

With little else to go on and bickering among each other, the townsfolk gather round and do something crazy. They draw straws. as each person goes up one at a time to collect their straw, the tensions are rising as each person picks.

Unfortunately Mr Vel la Flore picks the short straw, much to everyone else's relief.... They gather round and hoist him up to be hung....

As the platform drops from below him, he drops to the snapping of his neck. A blue glow emanates from Mr Vel la Flore....
[/desc]


Mr Vel la Flore The Seer is now dead.

With no majority in votes, I used random.org in this order :
Vel, Dragon, Panda and Carps.

Solemn, Ghostwolf, Drae and Panda need to pay attention! If there aren't any votes from you tomorrow, there will be (not so)random executions placed upon you.


Vel, you may make a last post tomorrow morning if you want.

That's it from me for now, as I feel shite. hopefully, better tomorrow.
