Alphonse: how are you today dogtuna Alphonse: oh ya you cant talk Alphonse: CAUSE IGFIG IS LAZY Igfig: Still mute I'm afraid Alphonse flips dogtuna over Alphonse: 1d20 screw you Dogtuna: Alphonse's pool is [17] Alphonse: boom Alphonse: almost a critical Igfig: Last time, on Dogs in the Vineyard Alphonse: DONE Dogtuna: Alphonse's pool has been cleared. Alphonse: wait is erik here Jacob_Quinn: Yes. Alphonse: THEN WE CAN BEGIN Jacob_Quinn: LEARN OUR NAMES GOD DAMMIT. Ben_harrison: whats my name Igfig: I don't even remember your names Igfig: who's dogtuna Alphonse: no clue Ben_harrison: my name is Ben_harrison Igfig: anyway Igfig: last time Igfig: you killed all the bandits Igfig: and came back Ben_harrison: wooo Ben_harrison: now we let sam off cause god wanted his dad dead Igfig: only to discover that Samuel's dad, Alphonse's brother in law, Hamilton Jacob_Quinn: Hooray for murder. Igfig: drowned in the river while you were away Alphonse: how insensitive Igfig: You immediately suspected murder Alphonse: man what if it wasnt murder thouh Ben_harrison: it was divine punishment Jacob_Quinn: According to our doctor, he was obviously beaten. Jacob_Quinn: And drowned. Alphonse: oh ya Alphonse: man that was ME too Igfig: and after talking to Judith (Hamilton's wife, Alf's sister) and Samuel, examining the body, talking to the Steward, inspecting the scene of the crime, and talking to Constance Igfig: you decided that yes, he was murdered Ben_harrison: we deduced it was sam Igfig: but by whom, you still aren't sure Ben_harrison: who was gods tool in hams death Alphonse: where exactly did we leave off? Mordecai: We talked to Constance and we were on our way back to town I think. Alphonse: alright Igfig: aye Alphonse: first I want to check something based on my thoughts over the past week Igfig: you may want to review the logs from last time Alphonse: in character this is alphonse being suspicious Ben_harrison: [22:36] PISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Ben_harrison: [22:36] Also hurrah, I got to use patricide in a sentence. Ben_harrison: [22:36] hows that Ben_harrison: [22:36] maybe we should question samuel Ben_harrison: [22:36] or Ben_harrison: [22:36] I learned that word from Rogue Legacy. Ben_harrison: [22:36] <~Igfig> "If it wasn't Constance... then who was it?" Ben_harrison: [22:36] <~Igfig> something like that Ben_harrison: [22:36] <~Igfig> SMASH TO BLACK Ben_harrison: [22:36] IT WAS SAM Ben_harrison: how it ended Alphonse: "Before we question samuel I want to go take a look at the bridge once more" Igfig: http://champion.uwaterloo.ca/~igfich/ditv/logs/ Igfig: ok Alphonse: "unless you guys think we have anything urgent to get to" Alphonse: guess not Alphonse: so warping to the bridge Igfig: sure Alphonse: first is the broken wood still in the river? Jacob_Quinn: "I've had to poop for three days." Jacob_Quinn: "But carry on." Alphonse: "you can poo later" Igfig: um Alphonse: from the railing of the bridge Igfig: I'm not sure, what difference would it make? Mordecai: It probably floated away by now. Alphonse: I want to see the marks on the wood Jacob_Quinn shits in the woods. Ben_harrison: thats a really long poop Igfig: ah Igfig: Yeah, sure Alphonse: you said it was strong and the bridge was fine Ben_harrison: god is punishing your bowels Alphonse: so if so then the wood would have to be purposely broken Alphonse: like kicked or somethign Igfig: The wood isn't right there, but you find it stuck between two rocks a bit further downstream Alphonse: if it had been from hamilton leaning on it the cracks would be right down the center and splinters would be everywhere from the weak wood Alphonse: perfect Alphonse: I examine the edges and the cracks Alphonse: the wood is wet and its been a day so it's hard to see Igfig: Well, it doesn't look like that, no Igfig: nor does it look like it was sawed Alphonse: hmm Igfig: there are some deep gouges in it Alphonse: hmmm Alphonse: how deep? Igfig: half an inch maybe? Alphonse: hum Alphonse: what do you guys think Alphonse: tht seems odd Alphonse: but not sure what could make that Alphonse: if anything it proves he hadnt just leaned against the bridge and it broke Igfig: From the way it was broken, you think it was probably pulled, not pushed Igfig: like, torn out Alphonse: hm Igfig: bent nails and stuff Jacob_Quinn: Maybe someone threw him over. Jacob_Quinn: And he held on. Ben_harrison: bears Alphonse: I walk back to the bridge check the spot where the bridge was vroken Alphonse: do the splinters on the edges of the railings point into the bridge or out to the river? Ben_harrison: sam is a bear Igfig: In, I guess? Whatever implies that it was broken from on the bridge Mordecai: Or maybe someone pulled it off, and then bashed someone with it. Alphonse: what i mean is Alphonse: if i am standing on the bridge Alphonse: and the railing had been pulled Alphonse: the splinters on the edges would point at me Igfig: yes, the splinters point in Alphonse: alright then Alphonse: so what were we going to do next Alphonse: question samuel one more time? Jacob_Quinn: I'm just hear to fix guns. Jacob_Quinn: But yeah. Mordecai: I'd say we deliver the mail. Jacob_Quinn: here* Mordecai: Gives us a reason to visit everyone with Barton tagging along. Alphonse: alright you can go ahead and do that i dont think i have any questions for him Alphonse: but ya thats good Alphonse: lets deliver the mail Alphonse: HEY BEN Alphonse: MAIL Alphonse: ben_harrison Jacob_Quinn: BEEEN. Alphonse: now is his time Ben_harrison: WOOOOOOOOO Ben_harrison: YEAH Alphonse: I hand the mail over to ben Igfig: There are a number of pieces of mail Ben_harrison takes it Igfig: all clearly stamped and addressed Ben_harrison: lovely Alphonse: this is for you ben Igfig: except one that just has "Father Christmas" scrawled across it Igfig: you think it got put in the wrong load Ben_harrison goes to the post office to drop off the mail bag Alphonse: there is no post office Alphonse: its just mail to each individual person Igfig: I think you just deliver it by hand, yeah Ben_harrison: of course there is Ben_harrison: that is how it works Jacob_Quinn: Jesus Christ Ben. You are the worst mailman. Alphonse: not at that time Jacob_Quinn: We had this conversation in the first session! Igfig: That's how it works among godless heathens, maybe Alphonse: maybe the bigger cities have a post office Ben_harrison: you bring the mail to the office and people get it themselves Alphonse: but not most villages Alphonse: w o w Alphonse: worst. mailman. ever Jacob_Quinn: Alright. We go to the post office. Alphonse: i think we should take over jacob Jacob_Quinn: We drop off the bag. Jacob_Quinn: Great job, Ben. Ben_harrison: its like yall didnt read up on postal services Jacob_Quinn: Who's a good mailman? Who's my big strong mailman? Igfig: you drop off the letters at the appropriate place, wherever that may be Jacob_Quinn: I think my little mailman deserves a treat. Ben_harrison: cause that is exactly how it was done Ben_harrison: fools Igfig: Then congrats Ben on a job well done Jacob_Quinn: We're playing a ttrpg about Mormon gun-paladins stopping demon invasions. Jacob_Quinn: I'm pretty sure the mail can work however. Jacob_Quinn: Anyway. Jacob_Quinn: Mail delivered. Ben_harrison: yessss Igfig: Next stop? Jacob_Quinn: Who do we think killed this guy? Alphonse: i kinda want to know what that christmas one was Alphonse: alright Alphonse: I think brother Hamilton Alphonse: samuel is not strong enough to break the bridge, or hold hamilton under Ben_harrison hangs on to the father christmas one though Alphonse: constance's motive falls through after we continued the marriage with her daughter working the store with samuel Alphonse: wife doesnt make sense Alphonse: it just comes back to the steward Alphonse: we dont know enough about this guy Alphonse: I think when we found him at the bridge he was breaking the bridge for the excuse that it fell Igfig: That doesn't fit with the footprint you found at the scene, though Alphonse: which footprint? Igfig: In the dirt by the river? Alphonse: yar i mean what was its description its lost in the logs Jacob_Quinn: Yeah we found it before I left last week. Igfig: Pointing away from the river Alphonse: it wasnt too big? Alphonse: hmm Igfig: It was too small Alphonse: maybe samuel was involved but not the killer Igfig: small man or medium wonman Alphonse: i just dont think it works out for him Alphonse: we need to have barton track that scen Alphonse: we need to have barton track that scent Alphonse: argh Mordecai: Yup. Alphonse: lets bring barton around Jacob_Quinn: BARTON, KILL. Alphonse: we already checked the body Alphonse: and uhh Alphonse: and constance Mordecai: That's what we are doing with the mail right now I thought. Alphonse: yeah Igfig: I think you guys have been walking back and forth enough as to mess up the scent now Alphonse: but apparently POST OFFICES EXISTED Alphonse: well barton still has the scent Alphonse: he sniffed nice and good Igfig: yeah, but then you went down to Constance's, and to the, uh, post office Alphonse: so its either samuel or hamilton then Alphonse: how can we figure this last bit out guys Jacob_Quinn: Who the fuck is Hamilton? Mordecai: I don't think Hamilton killed himself, seeing as we're pretty sure he was murdered. Jacob_Quinn: That's the dead guy. Igfig: and I figure more people have been down to the bridge and back since then Jacob_Quinn: Yeah. Alphonse: oops Alphonse: i mean samuel or the steward Jacob_Quinn: We could just strongarm the shit out of one of them and try for a confession. Jacob_Quinn: That sounds like something cult warriors woudl do. Alphonse: thats like 50/50 chance of getting the right onem Mordecai: And yeah, so the scent idea has gone away now. Wasn't the strongest plan anyways, I don't think Irish Wolfhounds are known for their sense of smell. Mordecai: More for their being huge and tackling people. Alphonse: either way I dont think constance did it cause the motive is gone for her Jacob_Quinn: It wasn't at the time. Igfig: also I'd much rather you solved the puzzle with deduction and investigation than following a magic scent trail to the culprit Jacob_Quinn: I mean we took it away in retrospect, but she had no reason to believe it would be before. Alphonse: what do you mean Jacob_Quinn: She had no reason at the beginning to supsect that Samuel wouldn't call off the marriage to work in the store. Igfig: wait, gimme a second to parse that double negative Alphonse: yeah im uh Igfig: hm Alphonse: not sure what he is saying Igfig: so she had reason to suspect that he would call off the marriage? Igfig: (or rather, no reason not to) Alphonse: so Alphonse: either way Alphonse: she has no motive Jacob_Quinn: I missed the end of that session. Jacob_Quinn: I thought the consensus was "We are going to push that marriage anyway" Ben_harrison: it was sam Jacob_Quinn: But she might have thought it would get her out of it. Alphonse: so shemay have killed hamilton thinking it would have ended the mariage? Jacob_Quinn: that was my thinking, yeah. Alphonse: we thought that at first Igfig: what she said when you talked to her was that she was okay with the marriage now that it wouldn't Samuel coming to take over her family Alphonse: but remember when we talked to her we continued the marriage by saying the daughter would go live with samuel Alphonse: yar Alphonse: so that theory falls through Alphonse: and thats why i think she didnt do it Jacob_Quinn: Fair enough. Alphonse: yar Alphonse: so Jacob_Quinn: Crazy idea. Jacob_Quinn: Could the Steward be gay? Jacob_Quinn: And want to bone Samuel? Alphonse: samuel or steward Alphonse: thatas getting a bit outrageous Alphonse: but we dont know he isnt Alphonse: so whats our plan of actino Alphonse: put them in a room together and see what happens Ben_harrison: who isnt gay really Jacob_Quinn: Well Ben wants to kill Sam. Jacob_Quinn: And Paul isn't here. Ben_harrison: nuh uh Igfig: Note that nobody knew that Sam was gay Alphonse: so we lock ben in the closet Mordecai: But what would that accomplish? Putting the Steward and Sam in the same room? Alphonse: nothing i was joking Ben_harrison: ben thinks sam was gods tool to kill ham Alphonse: we need an actual course of action Jacob_Quinn: SPARKS WOULD FLY. Jacob_Quinn: Why would God want to kill Hamilton? Mordecai: Him wanting to bone Sam wouldn't give a reason for him to murder Hamilton. Alphonse: yar Ben_harrison: for reasons im sure Igfig: also, if you'll permit me to metagame for a moment here Alphonse: lets see if we can get dirt on the steward or something Igfig: This murder caused the Demonic Influence to hit level 5 Mordecai: You are the dm, last I checked the dm is the only one allowed to meta game, I think, maybe. Igfig: which means that it was not divinely decreed Mordecai: Yar. Alphonse: aah Alphonse: that is true Igfig: this murder is ultimately caused by the demons, in some way Alphonse: yar Alphonse: so steward or samuel Alphonse: so like i mentioned last week Alphonse: lets see if we can sneak in and find the stewards journal or something Igfig: okay Jacob_Quinn: Works for me. Jacob_Quinn: See if he's a crazy. Jacob_Quinn: This is really Paul's territory. Alphonse: so we need guys to distract him Alphonse: i wouldnt say paul Alphonse: our hunter knows how to walk silently Alphonse: and sneak Jacob_Quinn: Sneaking seems like osmething he'd be good at. Jacob_Quinn: Ahh yes. Jacob_Quinn: Okay Alphonse: so we distract the steward Jacob_Quinn: I'll district the Steward. Jacob_Quinn: distract* Jacob_Quinn: You stand guard. Igfig: district the attorney Jacob_Quinn: Mordecai finds the journal. Alphonse: yup Alphonse: i cover the door non chalantly or whatever Alphonse: and talk to him Jacob_Quinn: Alright, I'm gonna ask the Steward to come with me to the burned section of the town so we can discuss plans to rebuild and repair now that the bandits are dealt with. Alphonse: so jacob sneaks through the guys back window or something Mordecai: Do we know he has a journal? Alphonse: that would be even better Igfig: sure Alphonse: we dont know Alphonse: but that was an example Alphonse: if we can find anything Jacob_Quinn: If he murdered somebody, he'll probably have something incriminating in there. Alphonse: a letter from hamilton, a plan or something Alphonse: yar Igfig: Except it's not like the town was burned down, just lightly damaged in places Jacob_Quinn: What's the Stewards name? Igfig: Derrick Alphonse: how can we pull him away from his office / house then Alphonse: hm Jacob_Quinn: Well yeah, but as an inventor/tinker Jacob would wnat to help as much as possible before he leaves. Jacob_Quinn: Trust me, I am gonna bore the shit out of this guy. Jacob_Quinn: But he's not going to brush off a Dog. Alphonse: i suppose Jacob_Quinn: And if he's really defensive about leaving well... that kinda tells us something, too. Alphonse: how will this conflict work? Igfig: Eh, I'm not going to do it as a conflict Alphonse: i figure it could be Alphonse: otherwise its just us saying we do this and mordecai goes in and finds blank Jacob_Quinn: That's fine for solving a logic puzzle. Alphonse: i guess so yar Igfig: Well, it's not quite that easy Mordecai: Yeah, we still have to figure things out. Alphonse: so we walk into the office and whats our excuse to pull him away? Alphonse: mordecai is not with us Jacob_Quinn: I ask him to come with me to the damaged sections of town. Alphonse: just a few houses Igfig: That's the main street Jacob_Quinn: So I can offer my services as a crafstman before we leave. Igfig: basically right outside Alphonse: sure Jacob_Quinn: I want to meet the people who live and work there. Jacob_Quinn: See the damage. Alphonse: aah Jacob_Quinn: Mordecai will have to go in the back. Jacob_Quinn: See what help they need. Alphonse: and we can help repair Jacob_Quinn: Talk to him about faith and buildings and whatnor. Igfig: "Sure, I suppose that could be arranged. Let me introduce you." Jacob_Quinn: whatnot* Ben_harrison: i have a digging trait that could help if we want to look through the office Alphonse: "Excellent, lead the way" Alphonse: during this time mordecai climbs through the window... Igfig: and he goes off with you Igfig: okay Mordecai: Or we could just go in through the door? If there was no one else in there. Jacob_Quinn: Alphie should pretend to be equally bored. Igfig: You probably could, yeah Jacob_Quinn: And just dump me on teh Steward so he can get away from my yapping about buildings. Alphonse: if its just outside walking through the door would be silly Jacob_Quinn: And then sit on the porch. Jacob_Quinn: Relaxing. Mordecai: But could give me a legitimate reason to explain why I am in there if I don't get out in time, saying I was trying to find him or one of you guys, and I had just missed you. Ben_harrison: have the dog sniff him now Alphonse: sure but for now just get in there and look around Alphonse: the dog's lost the scent Jacob_Quinn: You needed to use the can. Mordecai: Yar, either way, I go inside and start searching. Mordecai: Looking for any records, letters, journals, various things. Igfig: Well he's out at the moment, and he's not out on the street. Went with Alphonse into one of the fire-damaged buildings to talk to the people there Igfig: Okay Jacob_Quinn: Alphonse is on the porch. Alphonse: yup Jacob_Quinn: Jacob is talking his ear off about structural integrity. Igfig: er, not alphonse Igfig: jacob Alphonse: I'm just outside bored Igfig: anyway Igfig: You pretty quickly find a... not so much journal as log Ben_harrison: i am in the wind Mordecai: Alright. Jacob_Quinn: Ben is still at the post office. Jacob_Quinn: Just basking in the smell. Alphonse: ben sniffs Alphonse: mmmm Igfig: it's not in any great detail, but some of the more recent entries deal with the whole Constance situation Ben_harrison: chatting up the atendent Mordecai: Makes ssense for there to be entries on that, he is the town's steward after all. Ben_harrison: oh i should do that Ben_harrison: the post officer gonna know whos getting letters from whom Ben_harrison: know town gossip Igfig: he's worried, at the beginning, about what she'll do with her husband Elijah dead. There's some mention of the women of the town—primarily Judith, let's say—going to help her out with things Ben_harrison: Igfig can i talk to the attendant at the mail boxes? Igfig: but over time he comes to the opinion that she's doing fine on her own Igfig: There is no attendant I'm afraid Igfig: nobody would steal mail, wouldn't be much point Ben_harrison: slacking on the job! Mordecai: Anything else of note in the entries? Alphonse: hmm Alphonse: odd Igfig: there's a box for putting letters into, you can collect this town's mail here Ben_harrison: we need to set up an officer Alphonse: ben i think you are vastly overestimating this town's population Alphonse: so it looks like we didnt find anything in his notes Alphonse: HMMMM Igfig: Nothing incriminating, at least Igfig: he does not seem to be a crazy Ben_harrison: more than a couple families? Alphonse: this is true Igfig: Few dozen families maybe Ben_harrison: well then its big enough for a proper office Mordecai: Alright, any other books or logs of interest? Igfig: not really, nothing that catches your eye Alphonse: maybe we should talk to samuel again then Mordecai: Alright, I go ahead and leave the building, giving Barton a nice scratch behind the ears since he waited outside. Alphonse: good dog Alphonse: better dog than ben Ben_harrison: i need to talk to the steward about his lackadaisical attitude to the mail Mordecai: I need a memory jog, Sam said he heard two pairs of people leaving his house right? Alphonse: err Alphonse: not sure Ben_harrison: "said" Mordecai: Like, two on the staircase I think even? Jacob_Quinn: I think he heard two creaks. Igfig: He said heard the stairs creak twice, yeah Alphonse: it could have just been two feet Alphonse: humans enerally have two feet Mordecai: And only twice, so that means no one went up. Alphonse: generally* Ben_harrison: the demon level is so high because there is no post officer Igfig: it was two people Alphonse: danit Alphonse: danit Igfig: or one person twice Alphonse: DANGIT MY KEYBOARD Mordecai: Yup yup, but we know Hamilton didn't go back. Alphonse: so it has to have been a second person Alphonse: hmmm Mordecai: Or two people leaving. Igfig: although it's possible it creaked more after that, because he fell asleep after hearing those creaks Ben_harrison: "STEWARD" Alphonse: that is true Alphonse: lets search hamilton's room Alphonse: see if we find anything Igfig: ok Alphonse: my ideas are running out Ben_harrison: "it has come to my attention that you do not have a post officer" Alphonse: and i doubt anyone will object so lets just ransack Ben_harrison: "explain" Jacob_Quinn: Works for me. Ben_harrison: hang on guys Alphonse: :I Igfig: "Oh, hello Brother Benjamin. Yes, that's true. We don't get the mail here often enough to need that kind of position." Ben_harrison: we are back to mail Alphonse: always the mail Jacob_Quinn: "Good enough for us. Carry on." Jacob_Quinn: We walk away. Ben_harrison: "well then i deputize you" Ben_harrison: "temporary officer" Igfig: "People generally just come and check the post when it arrives, then send their own letters along with the Dogs when they leave." Igfig: "Oh, er... thank you, but I don't think that will be necessary." Alphonse: the steward is overcome with feelings at being deputized Alphonse: ANYWAYS Alphonse: we ransack hamilton's room Alphonse: do we find anything Alphonse: throw open drawers Ben_harrison: "attend your duties well" Alphonse: look in desks Igfig: Oh right, you go to Samuel and Judith's house Igfig: Judith greets you, and lets you upstairs Mordecai: I don't think we need to throw open drawers, we are trying to solve the murder but it isn't like we expect another one to happen. Alphonse: we THROW OPEN DRAWERS Igfig: but she was about to go take out the laundry, so she goes back downstairs and leaves you to it. Ben_harrison digs around Ben_harrison: 1d4 Dogtuna: Ben_harrison's pool is [2] Alphonse: i dont thnk we need to roll Igfig: actually, how is laundry done before laundry machines? Alphonse: there was this rolling board thing Ben_harrison: wash basins Alphonse: it clipped onto a bucket of water Igfig: In the river? Or a tub? Alphonse: and you rolled clothes over it over and over to scrub off dirty Mordecai: By washing it down by the river or in a tub of water. Alphonse: a tub Igfig: Ah, a wash basin Mordecai: Either or I'd think. Alphonse: either or Alphonse: warm weather could be a river cause why not Mordecai: Depending on what is available or handy. Igfig: hmm... river is more convenient I'd imagine Mordecai: Or how clean the river is. Igfig: it's pretty clean Igfig: so yeah, I guess she leaves entirely, down to the river Igfig: anyhoo Alphonse: anyhooooo Ben_harrison: pollution of industrial revolution hasnt happened Alphonse: we ransack the house looking for letters or something Alphonse: or well Jacob_Quinn: Jacob shat in the river earlier. Alphonse: just hamilton's room Alphonse: office Alphonse: etc Igfig: The room is fairly spartan, as is the way in the Faith Alphonse: ? Ben_harrison: IT Ben_harrison: IS Ben_harrison: SPARTAN Igfig: spartan, not Spartan Alphonse: like theres not much in there? Ben_harrison: yeah Igfig: yeah Alphonse: hm Jacob_Quinn: Not a lot of comfort. Alphonse: so not much to look through at least Igfig: bed, chest of drawers, a chair or two Jacob_Quinn: THROW OPEN THE DRAWERS. Igfig: no letters to be found, beyond copies of restocking orders Alphonse: figured we wouldnt find much Alphonse: hmmm man Igfig: the drawers contain clothing Alphonse: i am just not sure anymore Igfig: I'm trying to find ways to put clues in here! But it's hard Alphonse: im practically out of ideas Alphonse: (lets do my idea) Igfig: also this beer was a bad idea on a near-empty stomach Jacob_Quinn: I dunno what else we could do. Alphonse: lets do my idea Alphonse: i vote my idea Alphonse: its fun Alphonse: it could be a nice conflict too Jacob_Quinn: What idea is that? Alphonse: all of us vs all of them Mordecai: Nah. Jacob_Quinn: Murder the entire town? Jacob_Quinn: CLEANSE THE WOUND. Alphonse: no threaten to kill all our suspects if the killer does not come forwards Mordecai: Does Judith share her room with Hamilton? Igfig: yes Mordecai: Right, so didn't find anything of hers either then. Igfig: Well, there's her sewing and stuff Jacob_Quinn: CONVENIENT. Alphonse: obviously she sewed him into a big sweater and drowned him Igfig: uhm, I suppose there should also be something in here to further establish that she's friends with Constance, but I don't know what Alphonse: maybe just a picture or something Jacob_Quinn: A shrine. Alphonse: thats creepy Igfig: a selfie, the two of them doing duckface Alphonse: how about a letter like "i really enjoyed book club last week, lets divorce our husbands and get lesbian married next week" Mordecai: That'd get painful, holding a duckface long enough to camera obscura a selfie. Igfig: nothing of that sort Alphonse: ya Alphonse: so Alphonse: who says we do my idea Igfig: for one, nobody in this town would send letters to each other Igfig: when it's much faster to go see them yourselve Igfig: s Alphonse: lets metagame that we know they are good friends Igfig: okay Alphonse: none of us are very educated on that period of time Mordecai: Well we've got info that they have been hanging out lately. Alphonse: thats true Mordecai: The notes in the thing, the camera obscura duckface selfie. Jacob_Quinn: DEY FRIENDS. Alphonse: of course Mordecai: Constance being sad for her that Hamilton died. Alphonse: yar Mordecai: I mean everyone is, but she specifically sent her condolences to her. Alphonse: we need a COUP DE GRAS Jacob_Quinn: HOW CONVENIENT, Mordecai: We need to consider the fact that Judith may have gotten some ill-informed ideas on what to do with her life from talking to Constance. Alphonse: like what do you mean? Alphonse: KILLING HER HUSBAND? Mordecai: How big is Judith? Igfig: Medium-size Alphonse: would that fit the footprint? Igfig: sure Alphonse: aw Alphonse: snap Mordecai: Who would have an easy time getting Hamilton to leave his house in the middle of the night? Alphonse: JUDITH Alphonse: "i need to discuss something with you but i dont want samuel to hear" Mordecai: Who would go down the stairs at the same time as Hamilton, and not need to go upstairs in the first place? Jacob_Quinn: "They're gonna take your son away if you don't kill your husband." Alphonse: J U D I T H Jacob_Quinn: Sounds pretty good to me. Alphonse: you know thats true Alphonse: constance could have been the trigger Alphonse: if she is my sister she spent time in the military Alphonse: and is strong enough to hold him under to drown him Alphonse: aw hell Alphonse: the murderer could be my sister Igfig: women can't join the military Alphonse: well i know Alphonse: but she would have done work there Alphonse: acting as a nurse even Igfig: sure Alphonse: you'd have to pick up wounded Alphonse: yar Alphonse: we didnt think of this angle Alphonse: so with this new theory what can we do to try and prove it Mordecai: Talk to her? You are her brother. Alphonse: and what Alphonse: ask her if she killed her husband Mordecai: I dunno. Alphonse: hm Alphonse: we could Jacob_Quinn: Just tell her we know. Alphonse: i could convince her the secret is safe with me Alphonse: so we can stay here Alphonse: and i can visit her during the night Alphonse: and tell her i know she killed hamilton Alphonse: and want to know why Alphonse: adn that i trust it was just and necessary Alphonse: and her secret is safe with me Alphonse: how's that sound Alphonse: if I can covnince her to confess Jacob_Quinn: Works for me. Mordecai: Then we have to do something. Mordecai: Not sure how we'll want to handle that if it turns out to be her. Alphonse: let's cross that bridge when we get to it Alphonse: for now lets see if we can get her to confess Igfig: kay Alphonse: where do dogs sleep in villages? Igfig: when and where? Igfig: Uh Igfig: hm, that's a good question Alphonse: is there like a "dogs house" in each village? Jacob_Quinn: We kill her. Igfig: That would make a lot of sense actually Igfig: let's say there is Alphonse: neato Alphonse: alright Alphonse: As we leave we run into judith on her way back Alphonse: I hang back Alphonse: "Judith, I'd like to talk to you after dark" Igfig: in fact, the doghouse is probably attached to the post office Igfig: or vice versa Jacob_Quinn: We sleep on mail. Alphonse: "I do not want samuel to hear, let's meet at the bridge" Jacob_Quinn: Under a blanket of mail. Mordecai: The Steward's home would probably have extra room, or if that wasn't available in the town local families could probably volunteer to do so. Alphonse: wait Alphonse: bridge or her house guys Mordecai: The bridge could be very... thematic? I keep using that word, I need more words. Alphonse: yar Mordecai: Dramatic probably. Alphonse: for drama I'd like the bridge Jacob_Quinn: Dramatic. Alphonse: igfig is that okay Jacob_Quinn: Cinematic. Mordecai: Cinematic, that's one that was eluding me for some reason. Igfig: "Oh? What about? Did you figure out who did it?" Alphonse: "I'll explain everything there, I'd just like no one to overhear when I tell you my theory" Igfig: "All right... I'll see you then." Alphonse: I nod and we walk off Alphonse: night falls.... Alphonse: I definitely want at least one of you there at the bridge Alphonse: maybe hiding underneath in the water Jacob_Quinn: Mordecai should do it. Alphonse: the river will drown out your sloshing as you move underneath hopefully Jacob_Quinn: Hide in the trees. Alphonse: thats what i was thinking Igfig: she continues along her way, a thoughtful expression on her face Jacob_Quinn: On account of he is a hunter. Alphonse: once again that sneaking Igfig: right, night falls Alphonse: and thus night falls.... Igfig: also did I mention that night falls Alphonse: as the moon is hanging in the sky Alphonse approaches the bridge with a torch, seemingly along Jacob_Quinn: I heard a falling sound. Alphonse: alone* Jacob_Quinn: Oh, it was just night. Igfig: night falls and cracks Igfig: the dawn spillsout Alphonse: but secretly, Mordecai has been waiting hidden under the bridge in the shadows for an hour in preperation Igfig: all right Mordecai: Under the bridge? I suppose if there is room. Alphonse: id imagine so Alphonse: okay so guys whats our evidence Alphonse: the footprint Alphonse: the squeaks Alphonse: anything else? Alphonse: process of elimination i guess Alphonse: do the wounds point towards her at all? Igfig: After a quarter of an hour or so, Judith appears Igfig: coming down the bridge with a lantern in her hand Alphonse: wow Alphonse: rude Alphonse: i have a torch and she has a LANTERN Igfig: "Alfie? What did you want to talk to me about?" Alphonse: "Judith..." Alphonse: I approach her Alphonse: "I don't want to mince words here" Alphonse: "All the evidence... points to you.

Igfig: Probably will Mordecai: As Judith? lands from her leap I take the shot square in the back of what the hell happened to her.

Alphonse: "angry and wounded demon" Mordecai: That doesn't make sense for a d4, and he already did the demon bit. Igfig: that's covered by the 2d10 relationship with a demon Alphonse: "has gone berserk" Alphonse: maybe shes not thinking straight now Igfig: also, d4 traits tend to be phrased as disadvantages Mordecai: doesn't handle surprises well?

Mordecai: so Alphonse is totally out now, super great. Alphonse: yeah but i helped Mordecai: You definitely did. Igfig: I hope you don't roll too high on that fallout, you're the doctor after all Alphonse: that is true Alphonse: i have an 8 and some 4's Alphonse: or a 6 i think Mordecai: He can just do surgery like that guy in Master and Commander. Alphonse: it could get dangerous at least Alphonse: thatd be pretty hardcore Igfig: I think 16 is the point at which you might die, so you're probably going to be ok Mordecai: Alright. Igfig: oh wait no Igfig: you can die at 12+ Igfig: 16 is when there's no way you'll survive without medical attention Alphonse: hm we'll see after the encounter Igfig: 20 is where you'll just die period Igfig: yup Mordecai: I call upon my faith as a Dog to fortify myself to deal with this foe.

Alphonse: can I operate on myself Alphonse: WAIT Igfig: I don't think so Alphonse: I have my medical kit with me Alphonse: mordecai can try and operate Mordecai: I send Barton to town to get help. Igfig: but since these wounds are demonically inflicted, you could probably save him with ceremony Alphonse: mordecai its all up to you Mordecai: the jar of dirt can still help! Alphonse: I cough and splutter Jacob_Quinn: I feel like Ben and I would've arrived by now. Alphonse: walking out of the river at least to collapse on the grass Jacob_Quinn: On account of the shooting. Igfig: yes probably Igfig: Alphonse's body + the healer's Acuity Alphonse: I reach into one of my inside pockets and pull out my medkit Igfig: I should note Jacob_Quinn: Well, I have a lot of Acuity.

Jacob_Quinn: YEAH. Igfig: Alphonse is actually ok Mordecai: Now for your sister. Alphonse: oh alright Igfig: That jar of dirt down his throat saved him! Mordecai: Though that is assuming we aren't going to let her just die here. Alphonse: I get up after wrapping bandages around my chest Alphonse: and drag my sister out of the river Alphonse: she got a 17 Mordecai: I'm also assuming she is back to normal instead of what the hell demonized. Alphonse: she's pretty much fucked unless we can do something Alphonse: hmm Alphonse: should we even save her Alphonse: since she is possessed Alphonse: it may be better Alphonse: hm Mordecai: We probably have ways to try and fix her, and to redeem her. Jacob_Quinn: She's a demon. Jacob_Quinn: She dies. Igfig: She is not looking demonized now, yes Mordecai: Otherwise, we let Samuel not have any parents left. Alphonse: that doesnt mean she is not possessed or could be in the future Alphonse: and she is my sister Mordecai: Also I don't think Jacob or Ben saw her demonized then. Alphonse: in the end its down to me being the doctor to decide if i save her or not Mordecai: So that's just between me and Alphonse. Alphonse: ya Alphonse: for now at least Igfig: wait why are we saying demonized? The term is possessed Alphonse: because demonized is a funner word Mordecai: Cause I didn't remember the proper term. Alphonse: also that Mordecai: Also it is a fun word. Alphonse: so we dont know if the demon is still there Alphonse: we could try and save her then perform an excorcism Alphonse: that seems to be the best plan i think Igfig: By the way Alphonse, you do take two long-term fallouts Alphonse: two? Igfig: I think so Alphonse: you should check that Mordecai: You did nearly die. Jacob_Quinn: So the town is at Demon Level 5, and she turned into a monster and attacked us. Alphonse: that is true I guess Igfig: one for getting higher than 8, another for getting higher than 12 Jacob_Quinn: And we're just letting her live. Alphonse: alright ill do that Alphonse: for now though we need to deecide if we save her or not Igfig: yes you do Alphonse: do you think we could exorcize her so soon after she's nearly died Igfig: the clock is ticking Alphonse: she could be too weak and then just straight up die anyways Igfig: and by clock I mean bleeding Alphonse: and then we have to deal with a demon Igfig: and by ticking I mean bleeding Alphonse: but I suppose that is a better chance to save my sister than letting her bleed out Igfig: demons don't have a physical form, remember Mordecai: It's your call Alphonse, your sister, mother of your nephew. Alphonse: alright I'll operate Igfig: okay Alphonse: I drag over my medkit Alphonse: so I roll my acuity? Igfig: and her body Igfig: which is... 4?

Igfig: Actually, now that I think about it Igfig: that fallout I didn't bother with earlier Igfig: should probably go to the demon Alphonse: while I place my hand on Judith's stomach and feel how her breathing is affected by the wounds, and literally push organs back into place that are poking out Mordecai: A thing!

Igfig: oh ok Igfig: Anyway, it looks like your physical push, combined with the metaphorical push from the book of life reading, was enough to expel the demon from her midregions Igfig: it's still there in her body, but it's not tearing at her Igfig: she hiccups, and finally relaxes Alphonse: aw Igfig: falling into a deep sleep Igfig: DONE Dogtuna: bfhlglkgkkgkggh Alphonse: what a horrifying set of circumstances Alphonse: welp Igfig: oh, I see Igfig: don't try to roll a d0 Igfig: 4d0 Dogtuna: gflfblgbfhkghhg Igfig: yeah Igfig: FALLOUT Dogtuna: Igfig's fallout dice so far are [] Alphonse: END Dogtuna: Alphonse received fallout: [1, 2, 4].

Alphonse: well what else is there Mordecai: he said from her mid-region, still demon stuff with her. Alphonse: aah Igfig: also, how did she get possessed?

Igfig: I think we might want to leave off here for tonight Mordecai: Probably for the best. Jacob_Quinn: I'm good with that. Alphonse: yeah Alphonse: sure Igfig: this was a fun one! Alphonse: yar Alphonse: a bit muddled at first Igfig: And I'm glad you finally figured out it was Judith Alphonse: though to be fair none of us were expecting a demon Jacob_Quinn: I didn't really do muhc. Igfig: yeah, sorry bout that Jacob Jacob_Quinn: It happens. Jacob_Quinn: I actually had some work to do, so it worked out.
