Kendil rose up and bowed to the woman attempting to make it anyhow gallant. "Madam, we are Gray Hand investigators, sent here to help. We are very sorry for your loss and will do anything to aid Alona family".
"I guess my older brother has made to many mistakes and has paid the ultimate price" he stares in space for a second then shakes his head.
"Derek, my older brother was found dead late last night in the inner garden. That's about all I know for sure. My mother wont let me see his body and all the servants are close mouthed about it."
As he speaks you can all see his anger rising.
"I m now the heir of this family and they still won't recognize it."
"Derek was doing some shady things I m sure, trying to" save" our family, but I think he got in way over his head."
He stars to say more but a harsh voice cuts him off.
" That's enough Aril, go take a bath and let the grown-up talk. We will call upon you if you ever decide to become something else than a lazy drunkard. " A gaunt woman enters the room. Dressed in black silk and with her drawn features she makes a striking figure.
She let's nothing transpire as she waves Aril protest away nonchalantly.
" Sorry for that. He doesn't know any better. Who are you and what do you want?"
Irene remains quiet listening thinking that the woman is rather stern
"My son is dead and there is nothing to be done about that." her reply is like a whip.
"The Grey can investigate. His body is in his room and the garden has been left as it was found. Servants are keeping an eye."
"You will," it doesn't sound like a request as she says this, "let me know what you find. I will have my revenge."
"I could tell you that we have no enemies but that would be lying. What is true is that none of them would do something like that. They would rather humiliate us than kill us. This serves no purpose.... That I can see."
"I'll be staying in my room. You have leave to speak with everyone of my staff. Just ask Sol my butler to help you."
She nods toward a tall and dark man who has more the look of a soldier than a butler standing in the corner behind her.
Something was telling Kendil, an answer like "this is way above my paycheck" would not be understood in the present company. But it was miles away from the criminals he used to deal with, and he told the sacramental phrase to himself.
Well, one thing had to be the same, though, with any type of murder. Kendil bowed his head again to the Lady of the house and turned to the butler. "Mr. Sol, can we see the crime scene?"
Sol bows has he takes you into the garden. It is a large square of green and flowers with a finely carved fountain representing a metal eagle taking flight.
There is something gloomy about the place and it takes you a second to realize that all the flowers are black and metal roses.
Blood stains are visible in the grass.
( Make perception checks or investigation checks. Tell me what you are looking for.)
For Irene
It seems easy to get from the garden to the second story as all around there is a causeway.
Well, it was too late, of course - the body was removed and whoever the murderer was, he (or she - why not) had enough time to clean up or misguide. Still, the rules of investigation were not written for nothing. Those metal flowers were sharp enough to reap the clothes, catch the hair, harm the murdered. Kendil has no means to analyze csene magically but good old watching helps too sometimes. He searched for any tracks different from his group and the battler, pieces struck on the metal flowers, tried to get the picture of the murder from blood-stains (was there a fight? Did the guy died on spot?)
Irene looks angry when she adresses the butler Mr Sol
" How was the body laying which way did his head face What killed him There is a law that applies to interfering with a murder investigation! especially
of a Nobel. Moving the body before we investigate could apply."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As the others interrogate or question Kaylyn walks slowly around the edges of the room looking to see what she might see that appears out of place or doesn't belong.

Argh my perception roll was good but I forgot the slash to close the investigation roll and when I fixed it is manipulated the rolls.

Kaylyn steps in next to Kendil but remains quiet for the moment. She watches the lady to see her response to what Kendil says.

OOC: But the grass is a grass, not metal?
