Omast Questioning

Omast looks at everyone through blurry drunk eyes, "er well... Rodrik didn't have any issues with half-orcs. He would say not to hold the nature of their births against them. They all have orc blood though and are dangerous at heart. Rodrik didn't have enemies. I mean lately he has been fighting with his dad over something or other, but what son doesn't have a fight with his dad sometimes?"

Cham Questioning

"Brinya is probably home at the boarding house in the northwest part of the city. She is a weaver and works out of her room there."

Red thanks Cham for the information then suggests we go to the boarding house.

Omast Questioning

I mean lately he has been fighting with his dad over something or other, but what son doesn't have a fight with his dad sometimes?"

"We'll follow-up, but I would hope he's not a suspect," Herd responds. "What of his work with the guard? Any new missions, activities or initiatives? Any threats against the guard themselves or the town prior to last night?" 

Cham Questioning

"Before you go, the guards have now taken Rodrik's body..." she chokes up a bit. "... away. Do you want to check over the room again? Might be something that was missed. The guards didn't really look all that hard."

Omast Questioning

"He was investigating something, not sure what it was though. Always taking notes in that journal of his. If you find that journal then you'd have something I'd wager." Omast takes a swig of his flask only to discover it was empty. "Anything else, cause I need a refill."

"Oh, yes, that's a good idea. Tith, Mozu, will you help me?" Investigation: 17

Omast Questioning

"He was investigating something, not sure what it was though. Always taking notes in that journal of his. If you find that journal then you'd have something I'd wager." Omast takes a swig of his flask only to discover it was empty. "Anything else, cause I need a refill."

"Mr. Frum," Herd replies, "You would not happen to know where Mr. Rodrik would normally keep his journal, would you?" 

Upon hearing that Omast wants a refill, Curascious will happily offer to get him one.

This sparse room contains only a single cot and a writing desk. The cot is a cheap affair with a straw-stuffed mattress, now stained red with blood and stripped of its linens, while the desk is a slightly nicer piece of furniture that has nonetheless been chipped and worn by time. A cracked window in the southern wall is the only exit other than the room’s door.

You find underneath the bed with Mozu's help you find a scrap of paper.

Omast smiles at Curascious, "You were always one of the good ones." He turns toward Herd, "He always kept it on him. Heard it was no where to be found. There is someone you should talk to. This half orc... named Katrezra. He claims that Rodrik met him shortly before he died. Find him, make him talk. Likely the halfie did it hisself. He is over Sanctuary."

Tith will go to the window, open it, and look around the outside window area

investigation 1

Tith goes to open the window, he pulls and pulls and it finally comes open flying up and he leans out and looks out. He leans farther and farther trying to get a good look and... promptly falls out.

21 acrobatics 

Tith manages to hang on and scramble back in the window.

Can Curascious tell if Omast is being honest? Wisdom (Insight) 12

Oh he's being honest alright, but you can also tell he doesn't really know what was going on Katrezra and Rodrik. Thought he didn't really seem to believe Katrezra killed Rodrik

Curascious returns presently with a drink for Omast. "Very well, believe we should question Katrezra next. Many thanks, and condolences," says the gnome, bowing so that his nose brushes the ground.

"Oh, yes, that's a good idea. Tith, Mozu, will you help me?" Investigation: 16

 Mozu will assist with the investigation: 7

Mozu is distracted by the goblin falling out the window, muttering, “Of course... Why wouldn’t you fall out a window? The new hit craze...”

Mozu watches Tith pull himself back in, “Huh. Well then... Tith, have you found something?”

Herd, taking a cue from Curascious, attempts to bow down as low as the gnome, but his barrel shaped body prevents him from doing so.

"Agreed. Thank you, Mr. Frum. Apologies for not being able to bow as low as social edicts demand," says the warforged.

Omast smiles a little at Herd. "Not sure social edicts demand it." His smile fades, "Find who killed my friend." He drinks deeply from his new drink and starts back toward his work.

Is Rodrick's hope knife still in the room?

"Wasn't  Rodrick too old for a hope knife?"
