Murder is ahoof?
Starting to think about what we know already. This is a detailed session and I encourage you to put your thoughts down so we can keep a bit of a track. I'll start.
During a fire, a dead centaur has been found in an abandoned warehouse on the Rope Walk. The fire appears to have been deliberately lit to destroy any evidence.
He seem to have been named Raymond Whitehoof.
He was a chess partner of Herbert the corner druid.
He was convivial, didn't drink to excess (centaurs that drink generally do drink a lot) and never got beyond the warm glow stage when he did have more than usual.
He wore white. Centaurs don't wear white unless they're sages - an exceptional centaur shows intelligence and leadership from very young. They're revered by other centaurs. Chiron was the most famous, and heroes went to him for education.
In other news, Orthrus appears to have acquired a bathtub.
ReplyDeleteMr Orthrus received a sample of a potion which is probably from Mrs Alcyone. It has 'laid one chap up and severely confused another, who are both under observation.' Found in a large wineskin. On testing it's been established that it's non-magical and a relative of the datura.
ReplyDeletePotion had properties of making imbiber very convivial and well disposed towards people, unlike standard datura. Speculation:used to obtain information?
ReplyDeleteAs Kuval, Orthrus, Michael and Fingolfin await an appointment with the centaur scholar - now who was it who was going to buy a boater?Harry the Fixer is contacted by a young centaur, protege' of the deceased sage.
