Murder Mystery?!
@serious-tabaxi @the-mighty-dalob @ignisuadaroleplay @dova-p-i @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @sorcerer-acolyte @green-cloaked-figure
The lights flicker. A blood curdling scream!
@green-cloaked-figure The Hero wearing a dragon mask has been murdered. His mask lays on a pile of ashes.
“Alright everyone! Remain calm. This is all part of the event.”
“There is a murderer in our midst. We must solve the riddle of who it is before they can pick off the rest of us. Murder Mystery time!”
Hm, well, okay, I'm going to assume he isn't really dead and that this is just a game, because if he is really dead I'm going to be very upset, but I hope he was convinced to go along with this voluntarily and that he's having fun, wherever he is.
I could find out from the mask what happened, but that would be cheating; I guess I'll go along with the spirit of the event and play along.
So I guess the first thing to do is to examine the, uh, "crime scene". Anything there besides ashes and the mask?
(And is it really the same mask he was wearing, because I would definitely know if it wasn't.)
It is the same mask.
The “ashes” appear to be nothing more than chalk dust.
(The mask winks, but at a time when no one but the green-cloaked figure is likely to notice.)
(Just to be absolutely sure, the green-cloaked figure uses the mental connection they have to the rest of the Hero's costume to make sure it's still intact, since if it is that presumably means the Hero is still safe too. Once reassured of this point, they stand up from their inspection of the evidence.)
Well, okay, I guess I should probably play along and make this look good.
The green-cloaked figure puts their gloved hand to the position on their hood where their forehead should be in (somewhat overacted) dismay.
"Oh no! This is all my fault! If only I hadn't encouraged him to come here! Why, oh why, did I lead him to his doom!"
They holds up the dragon mask facing them like Hamlet holding Yorick's skull.
"Alas, poor Hero! I knew you... well, not all that well, actually, but still you seemed like a good guy."
He turns to the other assembled guests (@serious-tabaxi @the-mighty-dalob @ignisuadaroleplay @dova-p-i @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @sorcerer-acolyte).
"We have to get to the bottom of this! My innocent companion has been slain in cold blood! Reduced to a miserable pile of ash! We must find the dastard that did this. Before..." (Dramatic pause) "...they strike again!"
(He makes lightning noises with his mouth to add to the drama.)
"Did any of you see or hear anything that might be a clue that may point to the perpetrator of this pernicious deed?"
[he was holding his stomach like he was sick from the scene] s-sorry no…. I have no clue of how it could of, at least it seems he went out quickly… [his other band however seemed to have put something in his back pocket]
“I can help track mana traces, see what if any spells were active”
"Ah! Excellent! A possible clue, so we can do something other than me asking the other guests random stupid questions so it can look like I'm pursuing an investigation! Yes, let's do that."
“All right”
*looks over at @sorcererest-sorcerer to see if looking at magic would ruin any of the behind the scenes effects*
Any and all attempts to detect or identify magic fail instantly.
The green cloaked figure scratches its head through the deerstalker cap that they definitely didn't have on when this all started and that may be a transformed version of the dragon mask.
"Hm... so that's a dead end, then.
"Well, friends, let's think this through. Of course the obvious suspect is the person who took @sorcererest-sorcerer aside earlier to speak to him privately, and who just a little while ago was suspiciously putting something into a pocket. But as we all know, in a murder mystery it's never the most obvious suspect. By which I mean, it probably is the most obvious subject, but I don't want to spoil things by ending this too soon, so let's pretend we didn't see those things.
"But wait! All our suspects are not assembled! Isn't there someone missing? I thought I saw someone else in this room earlier. Wait... I seem to recall an altercation at the refreshment table. Yes... between @the-mighty-dalob and a...
"Where's @thedarksorcerer?
"If nothing else, I can ask him some stupid questions too to drag this thing out further."
“What no! Me? I haven’t the slightest idea what you-“
“I mean… Dark Sorcerer? Who’s that?”
“Brother…”
@green-cloaked-figure
“Ok fine! It’s me!”
He removes his skull mask to reveal a face identical to the Sorcerer’s
“But I didn’t kill him! However, I recall being very close to this Hero person when he died. I teleported away shortly after due to my cloak of recall.”
“The cloak teleports me to the nearest place of safety in the presence of a hostile spell.”
"A likely story!
"I'm not being sarcastic, that's a likely story, because yeah, you having committed the murder would be too easy and kind of an unsatisfying answer. But if you were very close to him when he died, and you know about the hostile spell, perhaps there's something you could tell us about it. Could you sense what kind of spell it was, or what direction it was coming from?"
“I can’t be sure… but it definitely came from that corner of the room.”
He gestures towards the snack table.
@sorcerer-acolyte @ignisuadaroleplay @serious-tabaxi @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @the-mighty-dalob
“Oh I see somthing”
*wither that be a hint or a magical snack is up to you*
@green-cloaked-figure @the-mighty-dalob @serious-tabaxi @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @ignisuadaroleplay
The lights flicker! A shout of surprise followed by a sudden heat.
@sorcerer-acolyte is dead. Where he stood is now a much more convincing pile of ash and an unharmed wooden mask
Curiously, the pile of chalk has been replaced by a similar pile of ash.
*muttering under breath* “Just go with it”
*R?? was at the snack table making the snacks look fancier.*
R??: sudden flash of sulfur... interesting medium for a disintegration
S??: real polite!
R??: sorry didn't mean to pin any blame on you....
*you look as the sorcerer standing next to a pile of ash, slowly levitating and a heavy rain starts indoors*
*his eyes are growling a deep blue*
*R?? tastes the rain...*
R??: hm. faint flowery taste... interesting.
*you watch and feel the mana of a stormy sea, the mana of a cry ocean. The mana of a drowning sailor… you feel the rage of water deep and blue*
R??: motion to evacuate to a higher floor? @sorcererest-sorcerer @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @the-mighty-dalob
*??R returns from probably the bathrooms looking awkward until he sees the mess.* ??R: toilet's flooded.
[ @sorcerer-acolyte Bold of you to assume the green-cloaked figure has feet]
The green-cloaked figure speaks loudly to make themself heard over the growing storm, which they otherwise seem to be completely ignoring.
"So.. we know Dalob and the gentleman in the eyeless mask were near the refreshment table when the first murder occurred. Was there anyone else there at the time?"
As they speak, they slowly walk toward Tempest.
"Speaking of the gentleman with the eyeless mask, did I hear you say something about sulfur earlier? Was that... a clue? Would you care to expand on it?"
Their voice is becoming less deep than it was, or at least less consistently deep; apparently they were putting on a fake voice this whole time and are now becoming careless about it.
"And wait! I believe we're still missing one suspect!" They turn toward @ignisuadaroleplay. "Weren't you dancing with a young lady earlier? Did you see where she went?"
When they get near Tempest, the green-cloaked figure whispers aside to him, made somewhat less inconspicuous by their choice to put their hand beside their mouth (or at least the spot on their hood behind which their mouth presumably is) when they do so.
"You know this is all fake, right?"
*the floating sorcerer snaps out of it and the cloud breaks*
“Hum? Right…. Can I uh… be zapped too?”
*he turns to @sorcererest-sorcerer as he descends*
“I want to spend time with my date”
*blushing a pink glow as he says the word date*
*the room is still flooded and you even see one or two fish flapping away on the floor*
"I mean, yeah, I'd kind of like to spend time with my date too, but at least the two of them are probably in the same place and hopefully getting along. Anyway, let's just get done solving this 'mystery' and they should be back.
"If it makes you feel better, I can check on them; I have a... okay, this is going to sound a little odd, but I have a mental connection to the Hero's costume. I didn't want to use it to cheat on the mystery, but I think it's okay if I just use it to check on them and see how they're doing, if it'll set your mind at ease."
( @sorcererest-sorcerer )
“No thank you, I’ll just go to them”
*he opens up a whirlpool in the water and just hops in. The other side shows his date. Once through it drains the water in and closes.*
* @sorcererest-sorcerer *
@green-cloaked-figure @serious-tabaxi @the-mighty-dalob @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @ignisuadaroleplay
“Ok! I think I’ve let this go too far.”
“My house is flooded and people are becoming emotionally hurt. I think it’s time to end this game.”
“If you would all like, you can call out your final guesses for the culprit to see who got it right. But as of now the game is over.”
Well this went quite sideways didn't it?
*I grab through a portal, pull out a piece of Pie and while grabbing it heat it up so it is nice and steamy*
So, any guesses anyone? I'm stumped to be honest.
@green-cloaked-figure @serious-tabaxi @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @ignisuadaroleplay
I have no clue what’s going on
“I would like to apologize for that”
*a man in a mask appear next to a cart*
“Jerry accidentally sent out the invitation letters that @sorcerer-acolyte asked us to keep hold of, this event was meant to be held in a few weeks.”
"Well, as we all know, in mysteries it's often the least likely suspect! And in this mystery, I'd say the least likely suspect is... me! After all, it was my companion who was the first victim. I'm the one who's been doing most of the investigation. Clearly I'm the one who's least likely to have committed the murders, and therefore, by the narrative laws of murder mysteries, the most likely suspect to have been the murderer!
"Except that I know I didn't do it. At least, I'm pretty sure I didn't do it. So that's not what I'm going to guess. Instead, I'll guess the person who I said was the most likely suspect before... the Merchant! Except I'm basing that guess largely on things that I'm not sure were actually supposed to be clues. Or maybe they were. I don't know. Sorry.
"Honestly, I just kind of wish more people had gotten more involved in the investigation. I was kind of trying to prod other people into participating more, but... oh well. Well, @sorcererest-sorcerer, I think you were doing a good job, anyway; I'm sorry if it didn't go exactly as you'd intended.
"The only thing I'm a little worried about is that I hope the Hero is okay. I mean, I'm sure you didn't physically harm him, but I think he was already kind of nervous and uncomfortable being here, and I hope he was a willing participant in this and he wasn't too traumatized; I don't want to scare him off from further social interaction with, uh, people aren't regular humans."
“The victims were teleported to a safe and comfortable room with refreshments and air conditioning.”
Mhm, interesting interesting.
@serious-tabaxi i think you're the only one who yer has to guess our Manaless magical assailant.
Any theories?
R??: mm... whoever it was, they weren't very imaginative.
S??: i think it was... the guy who claimed to have no clue what was going on
??R: i was in the bathroom for most of the evidence.
Mhm, ok so you think it was @ignisuadaroleplay who was absent for most of the Mystery portion
Our Detective @green-cloaked-figure thinks it was our Traveling Merchant @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant, who also thinks it was themselves... strangely.
While the novice Sorcerer @sorcerer-acolyte thinks it was a ploy by the Victim themselves.
Did i get all of this Right? Anything to add by anyone? Any theory changes?
“No that was my husband…”
*he blushes*
“Husband?”
“Shut up, date. He said that, I know the answer… accidentally got it spoiled so I didn’t guess.”

"I'm not being sarcastic, that's a likely story, because yeah, you having committed the murder would be too easy and kind of an unsatisfying answer. But if you were very close to him when he died, and you know about the hostile spell, perhaps there's something you could tell us about it. Could you sense what kind of spell it was, or what direction it was coming from?"

Curiously, the pile of chalk has been replaced by a similar pile of ash.

The green-cloaked figure speaks loudly to make themself heard over the growing storm, which they otherwise seem to be completely ignoring.
"So.. we know Dalob and the gentleman in the eyeless mask were near the refreshment table when the first murder occurred. Was there anyone else there at the time?"
As they speak, they slowly walk toward Tempest.
"Speaking of the gentleman with the eyeless mask, did I hear you say something about sulfur earlier? Was that... a clue? Would you care to expand on it?"
Their voice is becoming less deep than it was, or at least less consistently deep; apparently they were putting on a fake voice this whole time and are now becoming careless about it.
"And wait! I believe we're still missing one suspect!" They turn toward @ignisuadaroleplay. "Weren't you dancing with a young lady earlier? Did you see where she went?"
When they get near Tempest, the green-cloaked figure whispers aside to him, made somewhat less inconspicuous by their choice to put their hand beside their mouth (or at least the spot on their hood behind which their mouth presumably is) when they do so.
"You know this is all fake, right?"
*the floating sorcerer snaps out of it and the cloud breaks*
“Hum? Right…. Can I uh… be zapped too?”
*he turns to @sorcererest-sorcerer as he descends*
“I want to spend time with my date”
*blushing a pink glow as he says the word date*
*the room is still flooded and you even see one or two fish flapping away on the floor*
"I mean, yeah, I'd kind of like to spend time with my date too, but at least the two of them are probably in the same place and hopefully getting along. Anyway, let's just get done solving this 'mystery' and they should be back.
"If it makes you feel better, I can check on them; I have a... okay, this is going to sound a little odd, but I have a mental connection to the Hero's costume. I didn't want to use it to cheat on the mystery, but I think it's okay if I just use it to check on them and see how they're doing, if it'll set your mind at ease."

Murder Mystery?!
@serious-tabaxi @the-mighty-dalob @ignisuadaroleplay @dova-p-i @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @sorcerer-acolyte @green-cloaked-figure
The lights flicker. A blood curdling scream!
@green-cloaked-figure The Hero wearing a dragon mask has been murdered. His mask lays on a pile of ashes.
“Alright everyone! Remain calm. This is all part of the event.”
“There is a murderer in our midst. We must solve the riddle of who it is before they can pick off the rest of us. Murder Mystery time!”
Hm, well, okay, I'm going to assume he isn't really dead and that this is just a game, because if he is really dead I'm going to be very upset, but I hope he was convinced to go along with this voluntarily and that he's having fun, wherever he is.
I could find out from the mask what happened, but that would be cheating; I guess I'll go along with the spirit of the event and play along.
So I guess the first thing to do is to examine the, uh, "crime scene". Anything there besides ashes and the mask?
(And is it really the same mask he was wearing, because I would definitely know if it wasn't.)
It is the same mask.
The “ashes” appear to be nothing more than chalk dust.
(The mask winks, but at a time when no one but the green-cloaked figure is likely to notice.)
(Just to be absolutely sure, the green-cloaked figure uses the mental connection they have to the rest of the Hero's costume to make sure it's still intact, since if it is that presumably means the Hero is still safe too. Once reassured of this point, they stand up from their inspection of the evidence.)
Well, okay, I guess I should probably play along and make this look good.
The green-cloaked figure puts their gloved hand to the position on their hood where their forehead should be in (somewhat overacted) dismay.
"Oh no! This is all my fault! If only I hadn't encouraged him to come here! Why, oh why, did I lead him to his doom!"
They holds up the dragon mask facing them like Hamlet holding Yorick's skull.
"Alas, poor Hero! I knew you... well, not all that well, actually, but still you seemed like a good guy."
He turns to the other assembled guests (@serious-tabaxi @the-mighty-dalob @ignisuadaroleplay @dova-p-i @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @sorcerer-acolyte).
"We have to get to the bottom of this! My innocent companion has been slain in cold blood! Reduced to a miserable pile of ash! We must find the dastard that did this. Before..." (Dramatic pause) "...they strike again!"
(He makes lightning noises with his mouth to add to the drama.)
"Did any of you see or hear anything that might be a clue that may point to the perpetrator of this pernicious deed?"
[he was holding his stomach like he was sick from the scene] s-sorry no…. I have no clue of how it could of, at least it seems he went out quickly… [his other band however seemed to have put something in his back pocket]
“I can help track mana traces, see what if any spells were active”
"Ah! Excellent! A possible clue, so we can do something other than me asking the other guests random stupid questions so it can look like I'm pursuing an investigation! Yes, let's do that."
“All right”
*looks over at @sorcererest-sorcerer to see if looking at magic would ruin any of the behind the scenes effects*
Any and all attempts to detect or identify magic fail instantly.
The green cloaked figure scratches its head through the deerstalker cap that they definitely didn't have on when this all started and that may be a transformed version of the dragon mask.
"Hm... so that's a dead end, then.
"Well, friends, let's think this through. Of course the obvious suspect is the person who took @sorcererest-sorcerer aside earlier to speak to him privately, and who just a little while ago was suspiciously putting something into a pocket. But as we all know, in a murder mystery it's never the most obvious suspect. By which I mean, it probably is the most obvious subject, but I don't want to spoil things by ending this too soon, so let's pretend we didn't see those things.
"But wait! All our suspects are not assembled! Isn't there someone missing? I thought I saw someone else in this room earlier. Wait... I seem to recall an altercation at the refreshment table. Yes... between @the-mighty-dalob and a...
"Where's @thedarksorcerer?
"If nothing else, I can ask him some stupid questions too to drag this thing out further."
“What no! Me? I haven’t the slightest idea what you-“
“I mean… Dark Sorcerer? Who’s that?”
“Brother…”
@green-cloaked-figure
“Ok fine! It’s me!”
He removes his skull mask to reveal a face identical to the Sorcerer’s
“But I didn’t kill him! However, I recall being very close to this Hero person when he died. I teleported away shortly after due to my cloak of recall.”
“The cloak teleports me to the nearest place of safety in the presence of a hostile spell.”
"A likely story!

“Oh I see somthing”
*wither that be a hint or a magical snack is up to you*
@green-cloaked-figure @the-mighty-dalob @serious-tabaxi @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @ignisuadaroleplay
The lights flicker! A shout of surprise followed by a sudden heat.
@sorcerer-acolyte is dead. Where he stood is now a much more convincing pile of ash and an unharmed wooden mask
Curiously, the pile of chalk has been replaced by a similar pile of ash.
*muttering under breath* “Just go with it”
*R?? was at the snack table making the snacks look fancier.*
R??: sudden flash of sulfur... interesting medium for a disintegration
S??: real polite!
R??: sorry didn't mean to pin any blame on you....
*you look as the sorcerer standing next to a pile of ash, slowly levitating and a heavy rain starts indoors*
*his eyes are growling a deep blue*
*R?? tastes the rain...*
R??: hm. faint flowery taste... interesting.
*you watch and feel the mana of a stormy sea, the mana of a cry ocean. The mana of a drowning sailor… you feel the rage of water deep and blue*
R??: motion to evacuate to a higher floor? @sorcererest-sorcerer @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @the-mighty-dalob
*??R returns from probably the bathrooms looking awkward until he sees the mess.* ??R: toilet's flooded.
[ @sorcerer-acolyte Bold of you to assume the green-cloaked figure has feet]
The green-cloaked figure speaks loudly to make themself heard over the growing storm, which they otherwise seem to be completely ignoring.
"So.. we know Dalob and the gentleman in the eyeless mask were near the refreshment table when the first murder occurred. Was there anyone else there at the time?"
As they speak, they slowly walk toward Tempest.
"Speaking of the gentleman with the eyeless mask, did I hear you say something about sulfur earlier? Was that... a clue? Would you care to expand on it?"
Their voice is becoming less deep than it was, or at least less consistently deep; apparently they were putting on a fake voice this whole time and are now becoming careless about it.
"And wait! I believe we're still missing one suspect!" They turn toward @ignisuadaroleplay. "Weren't you dancing with a young lady earlier? Did you see where she went?"
When they get near Tempest, the green-cloaked figure whispers aside to him, made somewhat less inconspicuous by their choice to put their hand beside their mouth (or at least the spot on their hood behind which their mouth presumably is) when they do so.
"You know this is all fake, right?"
*the floating sorcerer snaps out of it and the cloud breaks*
“Hum? Right…. Can I uh… be zapped too?”
*he turns to @sorcererest-sorcerer as he descends*
“I want to spend time with my date”
*blushing a pink glow as he says the word date*
*the room is still flooded and you even see one or two fish flapping away on the floor*

Murder Mystery?!
@serious-tabaxi @the-mighty-dalob @ignisuadaroleplay @dova-p-i @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @sorcerer-acolyte @green-cloaked-figure
The lights flicker. A blood curdling scream!
@green-cloaked-figure The Hero wearing a dragon mask has been murdered. His mask lays on a pile of ashes.
“Alright everyone! Remain calm. This is all part of the event.”
“There is a murderer in our midst. We must solve the riddle of who it is before they can pick off the rest of us. Murder Mystery time!”
Hm, well, okay, I'm going to assume he isn't really dead and that this is just a game, because if he is really dead I'm going to be very upset, but I hope he was convinced to go along with this voluntarily and that he's having fun, wherever he is.
I could find out from the mask what happened, but that would be cheating; I guess I'll go along with the spirit of the event and play along.
So I guess the first thing to do is to examine the, uh, "crime scene". Anything there besides ashes and the mask?
(And is it really the same mask he was wearing, because I would definitely know if it wasn't.)
It is the same mask.
The “ashes” appear to be nothing more than chalk dust.
(The mask winks, but at a time when no one but the green-cloaked figure is likely to notice.)
(Just to be absolutely sure, the green-cloaked figure uses the mental connection they have to the rest of the Hero's costume to make sure it's still intact, since if it is that presumably means the Hero is still safe too. Once reassured of this point, they stand up from their inspection of the evidence.)
Well, okay, I guess I should probably play along and make this look good.
The green-cloaked figure puts their gloved hand to the position on their hood where their forehead should be in (somewhat overacted) dismay.
"Oh no! This is all my fault! If only I hadn't encouraged him to come here! Why, oh why, did I lead him to his doom!"
They holds up the dragon mask facing them like Hamlet holding Yorick's skull.
"Alas, poor Hero! I knew you... well, not all that well, actually, but still you seemed like a good guy."
He turns to the other assembled guests (@serious-tabaxi @the-mighty-dalob @ignisuadaroleplay @dova-p-i @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @sorcerer-acolyte).
"We have to get to the bottom of this! My innocent companion has been slain in cold blood! Reduced to a miserable pile of ash! We must find the dastard that did this. Before..." (Dramatic pause) "...they strike again!"
(He makes lightning noises with his mouth to add to the drama.)
"Did any of you see or hear anything that might be a clue that may point to the perpetrator of this pernicious deed?"
[he was holding his stomach like he was sick from the scene] s-sorry no…. I have no clue of how it could of, at least it seems he went out quickly… [his other band however seemed to have put something in his back pocket]
“I can help track mana traces, see what if any spells were active”
"Ah! Excellent! A possible clue, so we can do something other than me asking the other guests random stupid questions so it can look like I'm pursuing an investigation! Yes, let's do that."
“All right”
*looks over at @sorcererest-sorcerer to see if looking at magic would ruin any of the behind the scenes effects*
Any and all attempts to detect or identify magic fail instantly.
The green cloaked figure scratches its head through the deerstalker cap that they definitely didn't have on when this all started and that may be a transformed version of the dragon mask.
"Hm... so that's a dead end, then.
"Well, friends, let's think this through. Of course the obvious suspect is the person who took @sorcererest-sorcerer aside earlier to speak to him privately, and who just a little while ago was suspiciously putting something into a pocket. But as we all know, in a murder mystery it's never the most obvious suspect. By which I mean, it probably is the most obvious subject, but I don't want to spoil things by ending this too soon, so let's pretend we didn't see those things.
"But wait! All our suspects are not assembled! Isn't there someone missing? I thought I saw someone else in this room earlier. Wait... I seem to recall an altercation at the refreshment table. Yes... between @the-mighty-dalob and a...
"Where's @thedarksorcerer?
"If nothing else, I can ask him some stupid questions too to drag this thing out further."
“What no! Me? I haven’t the slightest idea what you-“
“I mean… Dark Sorcerer? Who’s that?”
“Brother…”
@green-cloaked-figure
“Ok fine! It’s me!”
He removes his skull mask to reveal a face identical to the Sorcerer’s
“But I didn’t kill him! However, I recall being very close to this Hero person when he died. I teleported away shortly after due to my cloak of recall.”
“The cloak teleports me to the nearest place of safety in the presence of a hostile spell.”
"A likely story!
"I'm not being sarcastic, that's a likely story, because yeah, you having committed the murder would be too easy and kind of an unsatisfying answer. But if you were very close to him when he died, and you know about the hostile spell, perhaps there's something you could tell us about it. Could you sense what kind of spell it was, or what direction it was coming from?"
“I can’t be sure… but it definitely came from that corner of the room.”
He gestures towards the snack table.

The green-cloaked figure looks around for @sorcererest-sorcerer.
"Hey, uh, Sorcerer? Sorry to break kayfabe for a moment, but I'm confused and I just wanted to check... is this part of the mystery, or is this guy just being a jerk and refusing to play along?"
(Ooc do we need to clear up the time lines?)
@green-cloaked-figure @the-mighty-dalob @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @serious-tabaxi @sorcererest-sorcerer @merchant-wizard-and-jerry
[OOC: Not a timeline issue, I don't think; I just didn't know your characters and didn't get that the one causing the storm was a different character than the one who had "died". I've deleted the post I made that was based on the misunderstanding. Sorry.]
(Ooc no worries : ) I know it was a bit confusing and all, but I haven’t been around in a while and am sort of following the plot on this one but thought that if my guys husband who sort of been talking the lead died, he would you know… loose it a bit (even if it was all for show, he isn’t the most stable about that))

“Ok fine! It’s me!”
He removes his skull mask to reveal a face identical to the Sorcerer’s
“But I didn’t kill him! However, I recall being very close to this Hero person when he died. I teleported away shortly after due to my cloak of recall.”
“The cloak teleports me to the nearest place of safety in the presence of a hostile spell.”
"A likely story!
"I'm not being sarcastic, that's a likely story, because yeah, you having committed the murder would be too easy and kind of an unsatisfying answer. But if you were very close to him when he died, and you know about the hostile spell, perhaps there's something you could tell us about it. Could you sense what kind of spell it was, or what direction it was coming from?"
“I can’t be sure… but it definitely came from that corner of the room.”
He gestures towards the snack table.

The lights flicker! A shout of surprise followed by a sudden heat.
@sorcerer-acolyte is dead. Where he stood is now a much more convincing pile of ash and an unharmed wooden mask
Curiously, the pile of chalk has been replaced by a similar pile of ash.
*muttering under breath* “Just go with it”
[the “merchant” has started to slowly back sway from the main area, quietly trying to disappearing into one of the many halls] enough death for me to know to flee.
*a strong wind bushes you back in to the room… slowly filling with water*
Water… ugh of course… [he went with the wind, trying ti make it appear as he was wandering a little rather then fleeing]
*you are bushed back into the center of the hall… you look up to see indoor clouds*
[he took out an umbrella, opening it as he headed back towards the pumpkins] worth the bad luck.
*your feet are a bit wet… the water is rising*

Murder Mystery?!
@serious-tabaxi @the-mighty-dalob @ignisuadaroleplay @dova-p-i @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @sorcerer-acolyte @green-cloaked-figure
The lights flicker. A blood curdling scream!
@green-cloaked-figure The Hero wearing a dragon mask has been murdered. His mask lays on a pile of ashes.
“Alright everyone! Remain calm. This is all part of the event.”
“There is a murderer in our midst. We must solve the riddle of who it is before they can pick off the rest of us. Murder Mystery time!”
Hm, well, okay, I'm going to assume he isn't really dead and that this is just a game, because if he is really dead I'm going to be very upset, but I hope he was convinced to go along with this voluntarily and that he's having fun, wherever he is.
I could find out from the mask what happened, but that would be cheating; I guess I'll go along with the spirit of the event and play along.
So I guess the first thing to do is to examine the, uh, "crime scene". Anything there besides ashes and the mask?
(And is it really the same mask he was wearing, because I would definitely know if it wasn't.)
It is the same mask.
The “ashes” appear to be nothing more than chalk dust.
(The mask winks, but at a time when no one but the green-cloaked figure is likely to notice.)
(Just to be absolutely sure, the green-cloaked figure uses the mental connection they have to the rest of the Hero's costume to make sure it's still intact, since if it is that presumably means the Hero is still safe too. Once reassured of this point, they stand up from their inspection of the evidence.)
Well, okay, I guess I should probably play along and make this look good.
The green-cloaked figure puts their gloved hand to the position on their hood where their forehead should be in (somewhat overacted) dismay.
"Oh no! This is all my fault! If only I hadn't encouraged him to come here! Why, oh why, did I lead him to his doom!"
They holds up the dragon mask facing them like Hamlet holding Yorick's skull.
"Alas, poor Hero! I knew you... well, not all that well, actually, but still you seemed like a good guy."
He turns to the other assembled guests (@serious-tabaxi @the-mighty-dalob @ignisuadaroleplay @dova-p-i @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @sorcerer-acolyte).
"We have to get to the bottom of this! My innocent companion has been slain in cold blood! Reduced to a miserable pile of ash! We must find the dastard that did this. Before..." (Dramatic pause) "...they strike again!"
(He makes lightning noises with his mouth to add to the drama.)
"Did any of you see or hear anything that might be a clue that may point to the perpetrator of this pernicious deed?"
[he was holding his stomach like he was sick from the scene] s-sorry no…. I have no clue of how it could of, at least it seems he went out quickly… [his other band however seemed to have put something in his back pocket]
“I can help track mana traces, see what if any spells were active”
"Ah! Excellent! A possible clue, so we can do something other than me asking the other guests random stupid questions so it can look like I'm pursuing an investigation! Yes, let's do that."
“All right”
*looks over at @sorcererest-sorcerer to see if looking at magic would ruin any of the behind the scenes effects*
Any and all attempts to detect or identify magic fail instantly.
The green cloaked figure scratches its head through the deerstalker cap that they definitely didn't have on when this all started and that may be a transformed version of the dragon mask.
"Hm... so that's a dead end, then.
"Well, friends, let's think this through. Of course the obvious suspect is the person who took @sorcererest-sorcerer aside earlier to speak to him privately, and who just a little while ago was suspiciously putting something into a pocket. But as we all know, in a murder mystery it's never the most obvious suspect. By which I mean, it probably is the most obvious subject, but I don't want to spoil things by ending this too soon, so let's pretend we didn't see those things.
"But wait! All our suspects are not assembled! Isn't there someone missing? I thought I saw someone else in this room earlier. Wait... I seem to recall an altercation at the refreshment table. Yes... between @the-mighty-dalob and a...
"Where's @thedarksorcerer?
"If nothing else, I can ask him some stupid questions too to drag this thing out further."
“What no! Me? I haven’t the slightest idea what you-“
“I mean… Dark Sorcerer? Who’s that?”
“Brother…”

R??: sudden flash of sulfur... interesting medium for a disintegration
S??: real polite!

Well that is rather unfortunate, they've been our best lead so far...
"Gadzooks! The villain struck again! Perhaps our poor departed, uh, actually I don't think I ever got that guy's name, but perhaps he knew too much!"
In addition to the deerstalker cap, somehow, the green-cloaked figure is now holding an oversized magnifying glass they didn't have a moment ago. (Or at least the frame of a magnifying glass; if you look closely it doesn't actually seem to have a lens.) They're also no longer wearing the domino mask, so maybe the mask turned into the magnifying glass? (The domino mask had been pointlessly worn over the drooping hood of their cloak anyway, so it hadn't really been contributing to disguising their identity.)
"So... hm... who was near the snack table when the fiend struck the first time?"
They look around. "Also is @thedarksorcerer still here, or did they teleport away again?"
“I’m here”
"Ah! So did you sense the direction the spell came from this time, or were you not close enough?"

Murder Mystery?!
@serious-tabaxi @the-mighty-dalob @ignisuadaroleplay @dova-p-i @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @sorcerer-acolyte @green-cloaked-figure
The lights flicker. A blood curdling scream!
@green-cloaked-figure The Hero wearing a dragon mask has been murdered. His mask lays on a pile of ashes.
“Alright everyone! Remain calm. This is all part of the event.”
“There is a murderer in our midst. We must solve the riddle of who it is before they can pick off the rest of us. Murder Mystery time!”
Hm, well, okay, I'm going to assume he isn't really dead and that this is just a game, because if he is really dead I'm going to be very upset, but I hope he was convinced to go along with this voluntarily and that he's having fun, wherever he is.
I could find out from the mask what happened, but that would be cheating; I guess I'll go along with the spirit of the event and play along.
So I guess the first thing to do is to examine the, uh, "crime scene". Anything there besides ashes and the mask?
(And is it really the same mask he was wearing, because I would definitely know if it wasn't.)
It is the same mask.
The “ashes” appear to be nothing more than chalk dust.
(The mask winks, but at a time when no one but the green-cloaked figure is likely to notice.)
(Just to be absolutely sure, the green-cloaked figure uses the mental connection they have to the rest of the Hero's costume to make sure it's still intact, since if it is that presumably means the Hero is still safe too. Once reassured of this point, they stand up from their inspection of the evidence.)
Well, okay, I guess I should probably play along and make this look good.
The green-cloaked figure puts their gloved hand to the position on their hood where their forehead should be in (somewhat overacted) dismay.
"Oh no! This is all my fault! If only I hadn't encouraged him to come here! Why, oh why, did I lead him to his doom!"
They holds up the dragon mask facing them like Hamlet holding Yorick's skull.
"Alas, poor Hero! I knew you... well, not all that well, actually, but still you seemed like a good guy."
He turns to the other assembled guests (@serious-tabaxi @the-mighty-dalob @ignisuadaroleplay @dova-p-i @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @sorcerer-acolyte).
"We have to get to the bottom of this! My innocent companion has been slain in cold blood! Reduced to a miserable pile of ash! We must find the dastard that did this. Before..." (Dramatic pause) "...they strike again!"
(He makes lightning noises with his mouth to add to the drama.)
"Did any of you see or hear anything that might be a clue that may point to the perpetrator of this pernicious deed?"
[he was holding his stomach like he was sick from the scene] s-sorry no…. I have no clue of how it could of, at least it seems he went out quickly… [his other band however seemed to have put something in his back pocket]
“I can help track mana traces, see what if any spells were active”
"Ah! Excellent! A possible clue, so we can do something other than me asking the other guests random stupid questions so it can look like I'm pursuing an investigation! Yes, let's do that."
“All right”
*looks over at @sorcererest-sorcerer to see if looking at magic would ruin any of the behind the scenes effects*
Any and all attempts to detect or identify magic fail instantly.
The green cloaked figure scratches its head through the deerstalker cap that they definitely didn't have on when this all started and that may be a transformed version of the dragon mask.
"Hm... so that's a dead end, then.
"Well, friends, let's think this through. Of course the obvious suspect is the person who took @sorcererest-sorcerer aside earlier to speak to him privately, and who just a little while ago was suspiciously putting something into a pocket. But as we all know, in a murder mystery it's never the most obvious suspect. By which I mean, it probably is the most obvious subject, but I don't want to spoil things by ending this too soon, so let's pretend we didn't see those things.
"But wait! All our suspects are not assembled! Isn't there someone missing? I thought I saw someone else in this room earlier. Wait... I seem to recall an altercation at the refreshment table. Yes... between @the-mighty-dalob and a...
"Where's @thedarksorcerer?
"If nothing else, I can ask him some stupid questions too to drag this thing out further."
“What no! Me? I haven’t the slightest idea what you-“
“I mean… Dark Sorcerer? Who’s that?”
“Brother…”
@green-cloaked-figure
“Ok fine! It’s me!”
He removes his skull mask to reveal a face identical to the Sorcerer’s
“But I didn’t kill him! However, I recall being very close to this Hero person when he died. I teleported away shortly after due to my cloak of recall.”
“The cloak teleports me to the nearest place of safety in the presence of a hostile spell.”
"A likely story!
"I'm not being sarcastic, that's a likely story, because yeah, you having committed the murder would be too easy and kind of an unsatisfying answer. But if you were very close to him when he died, and you know about the hostile spell, perhaps there's something you could tell us about it. Could you sense what kind of spell it was, or what direction it was coming from?"
“I can’t be sure… but it definitely came from that corner of the room.”
He gestures towards the snack table.
@sorcerer-acolyte @ignisuadaroleplay @serious-tabaxi @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @the-mighty-dalob
“Oh I see somthing”
*wither that be a hint or a magical snack is up to you*
@green-cloaked-figure @the-mighty-dalob @serious-tabaxi @kajeet-da-traveling-merchant @ignisuadaroleplay
The lights flicker! A shout of surprise followed by a sudden heat.
@sorcerer-acolyte is dead. Where he stood is now a much more convincing pile of ash and an unharmed wooden mask
Curiously, the pile of chalk has been replaced by a similar pile of ash.
*muttering under breath* “Just go with it”
Well that is rather unfortunate, they've been our best lead so far...
"Gadzooks! The villain struck again! Perhaps our poor departed, uh, actually I don't think I ever got that guy's name, but perhaps he knew too much!"
In addition to the deerstalker cap, somehow, the green-cloaked figure is now holding an oversized magnifying glass they didn't have a moment ago. (Or at least the frame of a magnifying glass; if you look closely it doesn't actually seem to have a lens.) They're also no longer wearing the domino mask, so maybe the mask turned into the magnifying glass? (The domino mask had been pointlessly worn over the drooping hood of their cloak anyway, so it hadn't really been contributing to disguising their identity.)
"So... hm... who was near the snack table when the fiend struck the first time?"
They look around. "Also is @thedarksorcerer still here, or did they teleport away again?"
“I’m here”
"Ah! So did you sense the direction the spell came from this time, or were you not close enough?"
To answer your First question...
*Chewing on cake*
...i was around the Pie display
*rain starts to pour inside the building*
