I would also like to see how much naomi's "armor" would actual protect her lol. oh female "armor" designs...

Luck. A lot of luck.

Luck. A lot of luck.

I don't see any issues. It's a pass.

Nice work. She's cool.

 

[Avari]

Avari , I don't know what you have intended to happen in the markets or when, but I intended to have Arryn go to the markets sometime after noon to get lunch. If you want, and if the timing is right, I can have him in the vicinity of whatever is going to happen so your crime has either an eyewitness or perhaps even a false culprit for people to inaccurately assume is the criminal responsible.

If you already have something in mind, that's cool. Just thought I'd throw the idea out there.

Sure! There won't be any witnesses however - it'll explain itself when it happens.

 

[MagicPenguin]

Okay. So what would you like to do? Just have him nearby when it happens but not see anything? Or have Lucina's Paladin squad, or some other person, see him in the wrong place at the wrong time and basically go "big dude with hammer + mangled dwarf cleric corpse= guilty blacksmith?" Should they arrest him and maybe Lucina can intervene on his behalf when they do so they let him go?

Or is the culprit/cause of death going to he self-evident so that this sort of mistake wouldn't happen?

Cause of death will be self evident!

Personally, I'd like to see Aurora and Harmon/Dain talk to one another.
"Oh yeah, Zanza sends me inspiration for new ways to steal from the rich, and ideas for inventions that'll help me steal from said rich people,"

i wouldn't openly tell Aurora that he steals. She may not be a guard or a paladin but they are never far and she will make a citizens arrest.

 

[Pai Chan]

so exactly where is the dwarf? the markets is a big place, no? which of everyone's characters would be within earshot of the scream. and then there's putting it so that it follows whatever Avari and Penguin are planning.

 

[MagicPenguin]

I'm not exactly sure we're planning anything. I can have him in the area, but it doesn't sound like there's much for him to do besides react like anyone else who might be nearby when it happens.

 

[Pai Chan]

lol. daggonit. i thought i was being thrown a bone to try and build up a post around to more flesh out what's happening. there's not a whole lot to go off of atm.

 

[Avari]

Lissa is going to chase Gorebarth up a building that is still under construction - after that confrontation, the Dwarf will be dead on the pavement below.

That's pretty much the long and short of it haha

 

[Pai Chan]

who's Gorebarth? the dwarf? so many names to remember lol. i mean, i can make a post (which seems i have 1 or 2 people to post before me to set up the scene more?) but it'd be pretty limited on what I have no. and i'm just trying to keep penguin's idea in mind so i can try to add it in as well.

 

[MagicPenguin]

Gorebarth is the guy Lissa was on look out for because he took more than his fair share of loot after an expedition. I think.

I don't have a concrete idea in mind. I have been thinking for a while now that, after the noon mark, I'd have Arryn go to the markets for lunch so he'd be a little closer to everyone else. Then the latest Lucina post seemed to suggest something was going to go down at the markets around the same time. So, I thought it'd be worth floating the idea of some sort of collaboration.

Originally, I was thinking he could happen to witness the murder as it was taking place. Maybe, seeing the culprit, he'd try and catch him and ultimately fail. That, or people would unfairly accuse him of the crime because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or both.

Neither idea seems like it will work, so I'll just go back to my original plan of having him loiter around the markets, perhaps near one of the taverns our various groups are at, so that he isn't so separated from everyone, at least for about an hour before he goes back to making his sword.

Long story short, no need to plan your post around me because I'm just as clueless as you are regarding what's going to happen or what my character will do in response.

i wanted to plan around it because it has potential. and a combination of the two could work. so roll with it! and i'll post a proper reaction to whatever you come up with. don't let your ideas be just ideas. put that stuff out there.

 

[MagicPenguin]

The first idea won't work because the dwarf's death will have no witnesses. The second because the cause of death will be self evident so that no one would mistake my character for the bad guy.

Not sure where else to go with a potential collaboration.

Maybe on arrival, Lucina and the paladins THINK Arryn might have witnessed what happened and try to question him, but he has to tell them he didn't see anything.

Or maybe, he doesn't see the crime itself, since it has no witnesses, but he notices Lissa and/or Gorebarth leaving the scene shortly after. He tells Lucina and the paladins about her/them when they question him. They don't think she/they committed the act because apparently its cause/culprit will be self evident, but they start trying to find and question her/them anyway as potential persons of interest.

I've been playing a lot of Phoenix Wright lately, so crime scene investigation scenarios seem to be stuck in my brain.

 

[Pai Chan]

wait. something just occurred to me. how are there no witnesses to someone being murdered in a place full of people? like crowded to the point where you have to push your way through people, practically.

 

[MagicPenguin]

Apparently it happens near a building that is still under construction. There's probably an alley nearby with no spectators or within the construction site itself there might be a place no one would see something.

Or it might be a situation where a passing figure knifes him stealthily in broad daylight as he or she passes. Even if they were surrounded by people, if it were done skillfully enough, no one would even realize he'd been knifed until the one who did it was already lost in the crowd. No witnesses.

Also, it isn't necessarily a murder. I don't think Lucina's vision conclusively foretold that, just that the dwarf's bloody corpse would be found in the markets. I don't see why she'd mobilize paladins for anything else but some sort of murder or a monster attack, but it could still be an accident or...something else.

my love of true crime tells me that if you were stabbed quick enough in broad daylight for no one to see anything is saying that a person would hardly die from, said wound let alone die on the spot. and i think how crowded it is is more subjective. to me i'm pictured the typical market kind of scene where there are tons of people everywhere. including around construction. and alleys in old cities aren't like alley's in todays cities that have tall buildings on either side. people can see down alleys at a glance so that would be ruled out. and besides, structures aren't really found in market areas let alone tall standing ones.

i've seen tons of medieval cities and towns and seen this type of scenario play out tons of times. I guess it just depends on how realistic we are going here. I'm just going based off of what would happen if this scenario happened in my universe.

You might have not seen my post - but he's gonna fall from the roof of a building.

 

[Pai Chan]

ah, now that's more plausible. i think i might have missed it then.

 

[Pai Chan]

now that i think about it, it would be kinda cool if someone was looking suspicious but didn't want to be caught for one reason or another and led a little chase. would be a cool, yet classic, way for characters to meet up/interact for the first time. the ending of the chase is completely up to the authors of course. it could be with the fleeing character to get away or be caught and questioned.

just brainstorming ideas. don't mind me

 

[MagicPenguin]

Ah. I thought the dwarf and Grorbath were separate. I didn't realize Grorbath was the corpse; I thought the corpse was unrelated to Lissa and Grorbath's quarrel.

I'm down for this, though I'm not sure why anyone would find Arryn suspicious. His size alone might make some think him suspicious under the right circumstances, I guess. He probably wouldn't go chasing anyone down himself unless he were certain they needed chasing. A pickpocket stealing his purse maybe, or an assailant in a crime that happened right in front of him.

i meant in general. should have been more clear, sorry. but i'll leave it up to the other writers why their characters may seem suspicious and take off running. could be they got framed or that they are a thief and just don't want to be in cuffs/jail for any reason. and I was planning for my character with some paladins/guards to do the chasing since i'm brainstorming for Aurora. but still trying to set a scene that involves other characters.

 

[Locklaklazarii]

oh, i just work at dominos lol. but it pays well because tips can get me up to an extra 100 dollars in my pocket that day. that's a good amount even if it's part time.

looked at Naomi. if you think Aurora didn't get along with Dominicanes then naomi is easily much worse. I would also like to see how much naomi's "armor" would actual protect her lol. oh female "armor" designs...

To be afir she has more armor than I do, and due to the skimpy nature she can distract people in combat
