Title: Adventures in crystalshore
Post by: trappedslider on January 10, 2015, 10:10:07 PM
The PCs are all sitting around a table inside of Demon's Run. It's been one day since a fire burned the Gilded Club. The weather outside is currently cloudy and threatening to rain. The stage is currently empty. The tavern is half empty and seems to be subdued in part due to the weather.

As the waitress writes down the order a man approaches and says to the her "A glass of moonshine and put everyone's order on my tab."

The man moves so you can see him better. He stands roughly at 6'0 with light brown hair and brown eyes. He a twinkle in his eye. His speech suggest that he grew up on the streets but still educated. He then sits down across from Rcarlet and says "I'm Marcus Revlin. I'm sure all of you have heard about the burning of the Gilded Club. Well, you lot have been tasked to look into the matter, the boss feels that it was foul play. This is also your trial, meaning that if you screw this up or bring shame in any manner to the guild you are out.""

"Don't go to jail; Good plan. And should we suss out the originator of this fire, how should we get in touch with you to deliver our findings?"

The question came from a friendly-looking Half-Elf with long, brown hair and lively green eyes. Though it is clear that he is of mixed heritage, his traits seem to favor the elven side of his blood. His clothes are impeccably clean, though they are well-worn and show signs of age. A large crystal wrapped in a piece of vine that, impossibly, still seems to be healthy and alive, hangs from his neck.

"Who said anything about getting paid? This job is just to see if how well you do. Once you become and actual full member of the guild is when you'll get paid,along with keeping a large cut of  whatever jobs you do on your own.  Also the guild will help you get permits for magic use, among other permits as the need arises."

Marcus deosn't even react to what the dragonborn said and answers the question about enemies. "No one comes to mind  on either one. We do have one lead however, a couple of days before the fire a messenger had dropped a note off asking about buying the Lilly. The girl who took signed for the note is downstairs. Her name is Mirella. He finishes his wine and stands up to leave " You'll also be joined by another person soon. Once you get more info, just leave a note with whoever is behind the bar and it will get to me." He then wlaks off.

Downstairs amongst the small crowd of people there was a gathering around one particular table, where a pair of men lay with arms locked in combat.  Faces grimaced and veins pulsated, as the larger of the two, a dark skinned human with red thinning hair and a body built like a barrel, forced down his opponents arm into the table.

"3 to 0!  You owe me a drink!"  Another victory for Joseph "Taps" Gray.  Shaking his arm, he moved to stand up.  "That's enough for now.  I've got business to attend to." he spoke to the observers as he glanced at those descending the staircase.  That was right, he had business with the Guild.  Last night someone took a match to the Gilded Club and reduced the place to ash, and someone was to blame.  A pity, he liked that place too.  More to the point, it was an excellent opportunity to get in good with the Guild's good graces and earn a pretty platinum or two.  He had gotten correspondence from a man named Marcus, and that he should meet up with a group of initiates-to-be if he wanted in.  The perps arriving from the upper floor fit the description, and so he donned his hat and headed there way and get their attention.

"Hey.  You guys working for Revlin?  I've business with you.  Joe Gray.  They call me Taps.  I want to get in on the deal."

"I know what I'm doing.  Gilded's gone, and someone's to blame.  Find the perp and find out what's their game." he boasted, emphasizing by slapping his fist into his palm.  "I'm usually the one guarding places like that, but I should be able to figure out what happened as well.  Looks like you've already got a sizable number."  He glanced over the rest of the party.  Strange folk, he hoped they were useful. 

"You leading this little expedition?  We starting now?"

The half-elf looks over the rest of the crew. A bunch of rampaging loons, all of them.

"Why, I do suppose I am. As for when we start, I say there's no time like the present. The sooner we finish, the sooner we start getting real jobs, and the sooner we get actually paid."

Gideon looks at Old Man Henderson quizzically, though it subsides quickly.

"...Which is why I mentioned that once we finish, we'll get membership, and get real jobs from the guild which will actually pay. Maybe you better let me do the talking and listening when we're out talking and listening to folks. Might be easier on the group at large."

Taps settled in with the rest of the crew, silently eyeing them up quietly.  Odd crew.  One of them was good with tongue twisters.  He couldn't keep up with that, but noted not to make any bets with that one involving loquaciousness.

The first order of business seemed to involve something the group had already been in pursuit of.  The elven woman near the piano, a possible witness.  The talkative one took the lead and Taps normally would have followed, much like Gideon, but found himself distracted by some discussion downstairs involving a rematch and some subtle threats.  By the time he resolved it, the interview was over and Serena had returned with information.  "SNM", initials of some importants but they didn't ring a bell.  And brothels as well.  What, exactly, was that discussion about?

He elbowed Henderstone quietly in discouragement.  "Shouldn't make threats you can't cash.  They won't take you seriously unless you follow through, and who wants to handle dirty old pinecones anyway."  Apparently he took it seriously.  "Hey, Serena.  What did you find out?  Something about initials and a brothel?  What's the red lights got to do with this?"

Think.  And if he is informed that "SNM" was connected with a threat from outside he can narrow it down to more logical choices. (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=15252.msg271412#msg271412)  It may be the initials of a person, but also an organization.  Or simply the company which produced the paper....

Gideon wanders back during the conversation, having heard nothing of import from the interrogation of the girl.

"Tell me, Henderson, just how did you convince them to let you into the clergy?" A slight grin flashes across his face, though concern flickers behind his eyes. The old man is a loon, and could very well jeopardize the whole mission if no one keeps tabs on him. With all the talk of fires, it's a wonder he's not a prime suspect.

As you all approach the scene you notice that there's still steam and smoke coming from the pile of ash and rubble. The morning's rain seems to have tapered off for now. The street itself is mostly empty with a couple of guards who appear to be standing by the debris.

Post by: SorO_Lost on February 21, 2015, 03:03:47 PM
"Bye-bye"

"So fires tend to start in one location and burn from one end of the building to the other. The easiest way to figure out where the fire started is to look for the most burnt down materials, but if that doesn't work we can bare some of the stonework for markings, looking at the fissures in the wood, and so on. I could even tell you if an accelerate was used, I am a master of fire investigation!"

Looking around... "Where is the crime scene again?"

GM: Your right next to where the building was,but now is a pile of smoldering rubble, btw the guards walked away without hearing you say a word.  as for what you figure out....You can't really tell for sure,but from what you figure out it seems like the building just spontaneously burst into flames all over at once. You do however find some bones,along with a skull.

The party was out, and on the case.  The crime scene; a wreck.  Taps was surprised the place hadn't been picked clean yet, and even more surprised when upturned ash turned up the remains of a corpse too.  He let the others parley with the guards, it would distract them enough for him to investigate further.  There's something about this body and he knew it...

He wanted to identify this body, and he needed a list of people who died or went missing in the fire.  Knowing who they were could give insight on why the place burned.  At the moment, he'll suffice with trying to idenfy basic traits of the skeleton, such as gender (from the hips), size, and approximate age.  Taps remained stoicly silently as he wrote these notes down, drawing out an image of what he saw and the time.

Now, Taps is no forensic master, nor is he a fireman, nor grim gravedigger.  However, exactly what condition is the skeleton?  If it's completely bare and clean, either the fire was quite hot indeed or this skeleton may have been dead beforehand.  That, or he's reading far too deep into this.

"Hey, Redhat." he motioned towards Rarlet.  "You said you can figure out where the fire started?  Do it, I need to think."

That's terrible. :(
Get well soon.

And remember, those students need intubations and cricothyrotomies as practice for realsies. Be awesome and volunteer for unnecessary student procedures.

The general feeling you get about the are is that it isn't an area you'd want to be out in during the night with your hand on your dagger. As you look around the pile of debris, you come across a small gold ring with a white gem stone set in it, it still seems like the fire just come poof into existence all at the same time.

You gather from the guards that this is just another patrol, where much doesn't happen and what does happen they get paid to either look into it it or look the way or in some cases they don't care unless it becomes a problem outside of the red light area.

Do they seem approachable?  As in bribing them to not look the other way?

Right now they seemed to be not wanting to deal with it or anything else right now

So both magic and evil?

Presumably the others have seen me cast both spells, so they shall be informed of the results.

"Some bad shit went down here.  We're looking for someone with magical power.  Someone inclined to evil.  Probably a gnome.  Fuck, I hate dealing with gnomes."

"So, mage sets off a nuke and gets out?  That rules out accident.  How do you know it's a gnome?"

"He's been blaming everything on gnomes since we met him. Ignore that part and focus on the 'magic' facet. Who has enough magical power to cause this sort of blaze?"

"Cause the magic they set off radiates evil too.  Whoever did this wasn't just yer average fireball flinger.  Course I could be just a little too hard on the Gnomes given our past...acquaintance.  Could be Presbyterians." :thought

You all hear a large explosion

Hear that?  Sounds like danger.  And danger is one hot dame.

Without a word Taps dropped what he was doing and went into a sprint for the source of the noise.  Nothing about that could be good.

As you all come upon the source of the explosion, you find that it's a warehouse burning. A number of folks have formed bucket brigades in hopes of stopping the fire

I look around to see if anyone seems out of place.
