player plot signup: the vessel with the pestle.
WHAT? Lady Amelda Araminta Rowan Carolina Sinette Hillingham claims that her bodyguard was poisoned by her no good nephew. She's requested Riftwatch catch him! Amos has been playing bodyguard for her in the meanwhile, and would like to figure out the nature of the accusation so he can get out of this boring babysitting gig. That's where you come in.
WHO? Three people, plus Amos. I'll RNG if there are more than three people signing up.
HOW? This mission won't be logged. Everyone is going to write a mini report in a shared google document (one paragraph minimum, no worries) and characters can argue in the margins about what REALLY happened.
Characters can choose icly what aspect of the 'mystery' they'd like to inspect (the nephew, Hillingham's sick bodyguard, something else entirely?), and how, and write the mini report on it.
If you need help deciding what happens, or more details, I'll obviously give them to you, but feel free to go wild. Differing perspectives or timelines that don't match up is fine. We're Rashomoning a little, here.
POSSIBLE OUTCOMES:
1. If they can prove & agree with Hillingham that her nephew caused this, Hillingham will be intensely grateful to Riftwatch.
2. If they prove that no good nephew is innocent, Riftwatch gain his favor, which might be good when / if he inherits Hillingham's estate.
3. If it turns out that the bodyguard just has bad allergies or something... at least it's over?
If everyone comes to a different conclusion, Amos will act as a tie-breaker.
WHEN: Signups close on Friday the 12th. After that, I'll give us a week to write something up.
