Zekic look's rather frustrated, he handed one of the knight's a torch

"Go check house with that, take you'r time, make sure that you don't miss a detail."

As Knight rushed away minute or 2 passed. Zekic just stood there deep in his tought's.

"Dressed as piligrim.." He told to himself silently.

"Hey" He called one of knights, "Do you know any place in Laria where piligrims could go, gather?" Zekic knew Laria well, but such thing's never crossed his mind before, he just didin't care about it.

"I wouldn't know sir, that stuff just ain't my area of expertise"

One of the knights comes back

"Sir! There are some scratch marks in one of the rooms near one of the walls."

Subject: Re: IC-Scene: Murder Investigation Thu Nov 15, 2012 4:22 pm

"Then go into town, and ask around. Some place that would attract piligrims."

Zekic turned to other knight.

"Scratch marks? show me."

Once they were in the house, zekic took the torch and examined scratch marks more closely.

The Knight led Zekic to the room with the scratches

"Look, next to the bookcase, scratch marks!"

on the floor next to a bookcase against the wall were scratch marks.

Subject: Re: IC-Scene: Murder Investigation Thu Nov 22, 2012 4:47 pm

Zekic came more closer, and examined marks, then he started to hit a wall slightly to hear if it is thick, also he examined bookcase more closely, and pulled most of books, to see if anything behind them.

Grandmaster Posts : 1918 Join date : 2011-08-20 Age : 29

As you knock the wall, you could tell that it was a very thin wall

You pull off all the books from the bookshelf, but there is nothing behind them.

Subject: Re: IC-Scene: Murder Investigation Fri Nov 23, 2012 3:19 am

Zekic tries to punch wall with moderate force, not enough to seriously hurt his arm if wall turn's out to be very resilient tough.

Grandmaster Posts : 1918 Join date : 2011-08-20 Age : 29

You strike the wall, the noise that comes from the wall indicates not that there is something, but that there is a LACK of something behind it.

Subject: Re: IC-Scene: Murder Investigation Sat Nov 24, 2012 7:22 pm

"Hmm, if punch doesn't help.."

"Someone bring me warhammer , or something i could break this wall with!"

While knight's were on theyr way to find that something, zekic decided that to first kick the wall, and if that didin't work try to move bookshelf and drop it at the wall with all force he could, all in hopes of breaking the wall.

Zekic didint risked to ram wall with his shoulder, you never know what's might be behind wall.

Grandmaster Posts : 1918 Join date : 2011-08-20 Age : 29

Kicking the wall leaves a small hole in it, and you can see in the hole a flicker of what seems to be torch light.

As you move the bookcase, you see a gaping hole in the wall, leading to a tunnel that goes down seemingly forever

Subject: Re: IC-Scene: Murder Investigation Sun Nov 25, 2012 11:42 am

Smirk appeared on zekic's face, finally some progress.

"Knights!"

4 Knight's came to zekic's call.

"You go get some more man just in case.And tell them that i don't need a warhammer anymore."

As knight hurried for help, zekic continued to give away orders.

"You 3 go with me to the tunnel, get you'r crossbows ready for first shot, but dont shoot till i command, also be ready to drop crossbows and engage malee"

The group went straight into the tunnel, trough hole behind where bookcase was.Zekic himself was leading the group with torch in one hand, and his onehanded crossbow in another.

Grandmaster Posts : 1918 Join date : 2011-08-20 Age : 29

You venture onward into the tunnel, crossbows at the ready. About what you guess to be half an hour, you come across a ladder leading up into a trap door

Subject: Re: IC-Scene: Murder Investigation Sat Dec 01, 2012 5:40 am

Silently zekic gave torch to one of knights, and climbed ladder, with crossbow ready he slowly opened trap door.

Grandmaster Posts : 1918 Join date : 2011-08-20 Age : 29

As you climb the ladder, you find yourself in a dimly lit building. There are stacks of boxes everywhere, only made visible by the torches on the walls.

You kneel with crossbow in hand, as you see a figure in the building. He appears to be more.. slender than the average man. He appears to have not noticed you yet.

His armor is peculiar, it is ornate, with a pattern of green and bright colors.. such as that of..

It was the armor of a Noldor Ranger.

Subject: Re: IC-Scene: Murder Investigation Sat Dec 08, 2012 7:29 pm

Smile crossed zekic's face, that's what he was excepting from this.

Zekic takes a look around if there any exit's other then trapdoor. Also he notifies one of the knight's to climb's very slowly, without torch, up to a position where he would have clear shot, while still standing on the ladder. All the time tough, zekic keep's noldor leg's on trigger, in case any sign's of noldor noticing the danger zekic would shoot immideatly.

Grandmaster Posts : 1918 Join date : 2011-08-20 Age : 29

Zekic does not see any other exits, and his knight moves slowly up the ladder and takes out his own crossbow

The Noldor grows tense, and looks in your direction.

You fire your crossbow at his leg, and its a.... hit!

The Noldor falls to the ground with a yell, the crossbow bolt from Zekic has gotten him in the lower leg, piercing through the Noldor's grieves

Subject: Re: IC-Scene: Murder Investigation Thu Dec 13, 2012 12:33 am

Almost maniacal smile appear's on zekic's face.

"YEssss" he proclaims silently, but then loudly commands.

"All quickly get here, with torch, search for any other exits from here, search around boxes, search everything damnit! First priority is ropes and something to cover wound, then everything else of possible importance."

"Whoever is best at medicine with me, need to tend noldor's wound"

After meeting confused look, zekic replied with smile on his face.

"Yes, we caught a noldor gentleman!"

Zekic himself take's his sword out and place's crossbow back under the plate of armor, looks around quickly, and proced's to try to block noldor's right hand with one leg, and point sword at noldor's neck.

Grandmaster Posts : 1918 Join date : 2011-08-20 Age : 29

Upon seeing the armed gauntlet on the knights' tabards, the Noldor ranger writhes and spits at you, groaning as his leg is in pain.

One of the knights aids you with bandaging the Noldor's wound as the others search the room.

After a few minutes, the knights report back to you

There are a few bedrolls, and there appears to be some notes written in Noldori. There are some quivers of Noldor arrows, and on one of the notes, there is a drawing of Deloria Castle.

In the corner lies 2 dead bodies. They are both human

One of the knights hands to you some rope and a bandage for the wounds.

Subject: Re: IC-Scene: Murder Investigation Sat Dec 22, 2012 7:31 pm

"You gonna spit on me filthy tree hugger?" Wicked smile appear's on zekic's face when he kick's noldor, and then presses his head with foot.

"Easy there" one of more experencied knight's says to zekic

"What?" Zekic looked at knight.

"I mean we wan't him alive and healthy for questioning aren't we?"

Angry expression flashes trough zekic's face, but then he replies

"Yes, Yes we do.. Undress him from anything but simple clothing, and tie him up. Also make sure he doesn't bleed to death, collect notes and arrows and whatever you take from this tree hugger, we are taking it with us."

"Also check the bodies more carefully, any sign's of how they were killed?"

Zekic called for one of knight's

"You, get message to guard's so they can take care of bodies , also call more knight's here, at least 10, so they can meet us.Don't mention noldor just yet, we need new's to be spread a bit later."

Grandmaster Posts : 1918 Join date : 2011-08-20 Age : 29

Your knights collect the notes, and arrows. They find some plainclothes in one of the bags, most likely for the Noldor when they were walking around. Your knights also find a Noldor longsword, and some trinkets.

Upon examination of the bodies, it seems that they are commoners, one has a slit throat, and the other several wounds to the back.

As knight runs off to tell the guards, another one comes up to you

"Sir, what should we do when the guards arrive? We don't have any jurisdiction here, like in Ethos."

Subject: Re: IC-Scene: Murder Investigation Sun Dec 23, 2012 11:24 pm

Well zekic forgot about that, and his face showed it for a second.

"Screw the jurisdiction, we are investigating a murder, and we seem to have a solution for it. Put some bag on this noldor's head, but make sure he have some room to breathe, and let's go. "

"But what we tell to guards.." One of knight's reapeted the question.

"Yes, yes guards, damn politics.. Give me the second, but move."

As they were waking back to exit zekic spoke again.

"You" Pointed he at one of knight's "Show the guard's the bodies, if they ask what were we doing here, tell them that we.. ehh i don't care create some reason why we got into the house and into the tunnel, but from that point tell the truth, we won't need it anyway once we show duke the proof."

"We are going to duke?"

"Yes,we don't seem to have any other choice, for now, shame to admit, but we need his approval so his little guard's don't mess with our business."

The Knights move out with the Noldor, making their way through the city. While they move with the prisoner, they do not meet with any guards, but are given odd looks by the populace. The populace however, are more concerned with their own well-being and gossip from the riot, and none of them bother with calling the guards to investigate.

The Knights make it all the way to the curtain walls of the castle, where they encounter a small patrol of guards coming out from the Garrison district in response to apparent civil unrest in other parts of the city.

Their leader, a man-at-arms, asks you "Hey, who the hell is that your with?"

Subject: Re: IC-Scene: Murder Investigation Sat Jan 12, 2013 9:23 pm

"This prisoner is for Dukes eye's only. Dukes safety may be in danger, and this prisoner is part of it."

Zekic firmly replied.

Grandmaster Posts : 1918 Join date : 2011-08-20 Age : 29

The Guard looks at you suspiciously

"Who is this prisoner? Take the bag off of their head"

Subject: Re: IC-Scene: Murder Investigation Sun Jan 13, 2013 12:34 am

Zekic was clearly irritated,but he removed hood for a few seconds.

"We found map of castle in his possession, now i am done answering you'r questions.I am going straigth to duke, and i do not intend to lose precious time to satisfy you'r curiosity."

Zekic tryed to continue to move past guards.
