Dragonfire Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Avalanche ground his teeth together in frustration, "Currently, I don't suspect the werehen or the bunny lady given their arguments. If the honeypots weren't stolen or bought from the werebee, then he remains on our suspect list as well. The gingerbread man and the sailor are still options." "Auntie Bunnina, how do you know the Wolfgang thug Daffyd? Are you related to him?" "Nestor, can we meet this Cuttler?" "Mr Werehen, I'm not talking about a real fox. This is a man with reddish hair and golden armour. He is a Veteran of Historica- have you seen him?"
-obelix- Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 "I think the smart chickens the werehen was talking about escaped to the merchant's warehouses, so I don't think the werehen did it."He turns to Thalion "it looks like the vile slimy creature, the turtle, wants to say something. Can you speak with it?" Thalion eyes narrowed, "It is neither vile nor slimy, it is just a lost little animal!" He looked at the turtle and his face turned to a gentle one, "I honestly wish I could speak with it, but I cannot, only a true ranger could speak with animals properly - my ranger training is not sufficient for that. I could try something in a way of communication I suppose, but I doubt it will work..." Thalion picked up and looked at the turtle, "If you can understand me little friend, nod your head up and down twice."
Cutcobra Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 "I have only one question, why would any of these five suspects want to steal a warhammer, a shield, a jester hat, a bonnet and a tookit? And why would Auntie here be losing her carrots in the merchant's warehouses? The cookie man, also a demon, and Auntie are the ones I'm most suspicious about."
Dragonfire Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 "Well, she could have just been visiting the stall, bought something and had to put her carrot down in order to make her purchase. Then she could have just walked out and forgotten the carrot."
Sandy Posted November 30, 2013 Author Posted November 30, 2013 Thalion turns to Bumble, "You said you didn't give the honey pots to the merchants, but did you give them to anyone else here?" Bumble shrugs apologetically. "I'm zorry, buz I've handed zhem ouz generouzly afzer my career zook off in a rockez. I cannoz help you on zhaz." He looked at the sailor, "And why are you carrying those flowers around, if I may ask?" The sailor blushes. "Actually, I've been dating Mariel, a waitress in the Merry Mermaid, for some time now. I was supposed to meet her here before her shift, but something seems to be holding her. I hope the precious thing didn't oversleep... We were here yesterday as well, when that creepy lurker used that odd box to cause lightning bolts." "Meh, AIUPIIUP is obviously too advanced technology for this superstitious lot..." "Auntie Bunnina, how do you know the Wolfgang thug Daffyd? Are you related to him?" "My poor son Daffyd was no Wolfgang scoundrel! He was an honest and independent entrepreneur in burglary. He did meet up with that catty wench, Violina or something was her name, on occassions, but I advised him to stay far away from that girl! I suspect she was the one who put the thought of breaking into the Ziegfried Manor into his head. Such a shame..." "Nestor, can we meet this Cuttler?" "Sure you can, he lives above his bar and should be opening it for the day right about now. The Merry Mermaid is located a few blocks south from here, by the docks." "Mr Werehen, I'm not talking about a real fox. This is a man with reddish hair and golden armour. He is a Veteran of Historica- have you seen him?" "Mister?! I am a werehen, not a werecock! Bawk!!! The audacity of you werehumans sometimes get too much to bear! I cannot remember every werehuman I see, you all look the same to me. Take that, bawk!"" Thalion picked up and looked at the turtle, "If you can understand me little friend, nod your head up and down twice." The turtle retreats to its shell as Thalion picks it up. It obviously does not understand common speech. Watsap throws his hands up all of a sudden. "Guys, focus! You already deduced that cherries were the common denominator in all of these cases! Now why aren't you trying to find someone affiliated to those?!" Warlock's eyes suddenly widen. "Oh... OH!!! But it cannot possibly be..." The detective goes silent, lost in his thoughts.
Sandy Posted November 30, 2013 Author Posted November 30, 2013 QM Note: I am sorry, but it looks like I cannot fulfill my promise of you guys getting to sign-up for the Baltarok trilogy. It wasn't by much, though... Hope you will forgive me, and realize that there will always be new quests to join in the future.
Cutcobra Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 "Who detective? Who? Come on now, you don't want to lose your job do you?" Heckz thought for a second. "That girl over there- " Heckz points at the blonde girl next to a grey guy "Had a basket, maybe she was carrying cherries around?" Heckz walks over to the blonde girl "What were you carrying in your basket yesterday?" OOC: No problem Sandy.

"That girl over there- " Heckz points at the blonde girl next to a grey guy "Had a basket, maybe she was carrying cherries around?" Heckz walks over to the blonde girl "What were you carrying in your basket yesterday?" Thalion nods, "There is a definite possibility there, worth checking out." Afterwords he pauses, but continues after a while in a softer tone, "However, I just remembered something. There were people present on those pictures who could have access to cherries." He turns and walks towards the two newly arrived town watchmen, "Masters Serevan, Lilith. You said you will have your daily croissants after this. Could they possibly be having some sort of a filling?" OOC: It is not a problem Sandy. I would rather have us solve this case properly. Edited November 30, 2013 by -obelix-
Dragonfire Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Avalanche growls at the werehen, "Are you blind? I'm a yeti. Oh wait, you're not blind, just stupid. Birds have such small brains..." "Guys- 'Auntie Bunnina' just described Daffyd as an 'honest and independent entrepeneur in burglary'. She obviously isn't all that opposed to burglary. A possible lead?" OOC: I'm OK with that, Sandy. You did your best.
Sandy Posted December 1, 2013 Author Posted December 1, 2013 "Who detective? Who? Come on now, you don't want to lose your job do you?" "Well, err... The thing is... I love cherries. I eat them like all the time." Watsap gasps audibly. "Et tu, 'dear' Warlock?!" Heckz thought for a second. "That girl over there- " Heckz points at the blonde girl next to a grey guy "Had a basket, maybe she was carrying cherries around?" Heckz walks over to the blonde girl "What were you carrying in your basket yesterday?" The girl in the waitress uniform winks at Heckz. "Hiya, handsome! You mean, like, yesterday? I use this basket, like, every day to take out the carbage. But you should totally know that by now, since that creepy guy hangs out at the dustbins like all the time." The girl points at Watsap. He turns and walks towards the two newly arrived town watchmen, "Masters Serevan, Lilith. You said you will have your daily croissants after this. Could they possibly be having some sort of a filling?" The two lieutenants have already entered the Kingless Crown restaurant and cannot hear Thalion.
Dragonfire Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 "Personally I don't suspect either Watsap or Warlock right now. Phoebe, were you carrying cherries in your basket?"
PsyKater Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 OoC: Yesterday's post disappeared?! "Warlock, how come that Serevan called you the brightest one ever, but now you are rather... nervous and seem to forget about everything. Did something happen? And do both of you care to explain where you have been while these crimes were commited?"
Sandy Posted December 1, 2013 Author Posted December 1, 2013 "Personally I don't suspect either Watsap or Warlock right now. Phoebe, were you carrying cherries in your basket?" "Hmm, we do, like, serve cherry pie as a desert at the restaurant, so there could've been something in the waste basket, sure." OoC: Yesterday's post disappeared?! "Warlock, how come that Serevan called you the brightest one ever, but now you are rather... nervous and seem to forget about everything. Did something happen? And do both of you care to explain where you have been while these crimes were commited?" QM Note: What post are you referring to? All the posts I made are still visible. "This whole promotion thing happened, all of a sudden! I've only been in the watch for some months, I didn't expect it so soon. I wasn't prepared! And now you must think I committed these crimes?! This is just horrible!" "I've been a loyal member of the Watch for years, just so y'all know. Always doing the dirtiest work without any sort of recognition. Stuff like that gets to a kobold, ya know. But if you're asking whether I'm the burglar, then ya must be a little cuckoo in the head, dwarf."
PsyKater Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) "I didn't say that I think you are the burglars. I just want to wash your names clean as soon as possible before the berry thing could throw some doubts on you. So my question still stands." "I would like to talk to the butcher. Is he at his place? Did anyone see him?" Edited December 1, 2013 by PsyKater
Sandy Posted December 1, 2013 Author Posted December 1, 2013 "I would like to talk to the butcher. Is he at his place? Did anyone see him?" "The butchery wasn't burglarized, but if ya want to talk to Sir Loin, just go ahead and knock at the door. I don't think it'll get you anywhere, though..."
Dragonfire Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 "Phoebe, have you visited any of the merchants' stalls recently?"
Sandy Posted December 1, 2013 Author Posted December 1, 2013 "I didn't say that I think you are the burglars. I just want to wash your names clean as soon as possible before the berry thing could throw some doubts on you. So my question still stands." "Uh, I can't remember where exactly I was... Most likely at the barracks." "Well, I was at the barracks, and didn't see your cherry-munching face there until we were called to the captain's office for this ridiculous task." "Phoebe, have you visited any of the merchants' stalls recently?" "Oh, I just LOVE to browse at Fabian's boutique, but it's not like I can afford anything in there with the waitress's salary I'm earning, you know."
Dragonfire Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 "Warlock, this is important. Could you have been drugged and the cherries stolen from you, and then planted at the scenes of the crimes to frame you?"
Sandy Posted December 1, 2013 Author Posted December 1, 2013 "Warlock, this is important. Could you have been drugged and the cherries stolen from you, and then planted at the scenes of the crimes to frame you?" "Err, I'm not quite following your train of thought, dear Avalanche. I had no cherries stolen from me, I just eat them in one go as soon as I've bought them."
-obelix- Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 "Oh, sorry. This is getting confusing..." "I can agree on that. But lets see if this sheds any light to the case..." Thalion once again swaps his Sterile Gloves for Cloak of Espionage and uses it to scan Warlock, Watsup, Phoebe and the black man beside her.
PsyKater Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Amma goes to the butcher. "What do you know about the things that happened at this place? Did you see something unusual?" "And just as routine: Can you tell us where you have been during the crimes?" Amma asks Watsup to tell the butcher the dates.
Sandy Posted December 1, 2013 Author Posted December 1, 2013 "I can agree on that. But lets see if this sheds any light to the case..." Thalion once again swaps his Sterile Gloves for Cloak of Espionage and uses it to scan Warlock, Watsup, Phoebe and the black man beside her. Before Thalion can act, Watsap grabs him by the hand. His grip is quite strong. "That's enough of that. You were hired to solve the crimes and find the culprit, not point your fingers at m... us!" the kobold hisses. "Now do your job, dammit!" Amma goes to the butcher. "What do you know about the things that happened at this place? Did you see something unusual?" "And just as routine: Can you tell us where you have been during the crimes?" Amma asks Watsup to tell the butcher the dates. Amma leads the party to the butcher's door. "What things? Do you mean the burglaries? It's their own damn faults for not locking up their storages properly. I always use double latches. As for where I've been, I've been right here, tending my business. I have an appartment upstairs, so I don't have to leave anywhere. I do remember waking up to a noise some nights ago, and when I looked outside I saw a group of people gathered in the middle of the square. I couldn't see who they were, but they dispersed into different directions after a while. Hope that helps you fellows."
PsyKater Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 "Sounds interesting. Can you tell us what night this was? And why do you wear a helmet? Isn't it in the way when you are working? Care to take it off once for me?"
Sandy Posted December 1, 2013 Author Posted December 1, 2013 "Sounds interesting. Can you tell us what night this was? "I think it was four or five nights ago, before this whole hubbub began." And why do you wear a helmet? Isn't it in the way when you are working? Care to take it off once for me?" "This helmet is a memento of my younger days as a valiant knight! It is also part of the image of Sir Loin, the Butcher Knight. Alas, I cannot take it off for you, I'm afraid."
