Ander relays his thoughts on Bhaal and the cult etc. "Perhaps this cult has taken over the temple somehow, or at least hiding out nearby? I agree, the temple is the best startin' point we got. Let's head out."
Mardon quietly waits outside until the mass is complete, intending to go in and speak with the resident clergymen about the murders, after the service.

Ander looks around the cathedral, identifying any other buildings that might house the murderer as it may just be a coincidence the cathedral is centred and we're getting tunnel vision.

Both of you would think that the murderer has no presence in the church. Rubin spots some people wearing church uniform walking to the gate, stopping, and turning away.

Do we know how long a service like this typically lasts? Religion 17
Mardon asks the others if he does not personally know. “Any idea how long these things go for? I figured I’d talk to the local priest first. They’ve got to know something about these killing happening right around their backyard.” If Mardon knows with the religion roll he shares his best guess on service length with the others.
"One would hope he'd have an idea of his surroundin' parish. I agree though, he's a good startin' point. I'll keep lookin' around at what's near the temple here in case somethin' else piques my interest in way of clues."

Roughly 3 hours. You believe it has gonne on for about a half hour.
"The service might be like three hours long, and it's just getting going," Mardon says. "This is why I can never deal with regular church-goin', too much time out of my day, though I know Esme's mom would like me to rethink that attitude. Might eat up too much investigation time just hanging around. We can come back in a couple of hours or so to talk to the staff about what they know after the service. Might not hurt to poke around a bit in the meantime, make the most of our time."

Mardon investigates both the exterior of the church and the buildings and areas in the immediate vicinity, still in the "center" of the "murder circle" on the map, as his allies pointed out that it might not be the church, specifically. "Could be a nearby building, rooftop, some place that's important to our killer. Could just be their home, where they hang up their knife at night. Either way, it all seems to surround this area, so that tells me it's important." He Investigates, trying to put himself into the mindset of a killer, what patterns they might be seeing, what bizarre inclinations lead them to slay people in this district and place their bodies up on doorways, hoping for some intuition to lead him to their quarry.

OOC: It sounded like our plan was to start at the center of the "circle" of killings, the temple I believe, and begin the investigation there.
Rubin agrees, start in the center and work out.
Ander relays his thoughts on Bhaal and the cult etc. "Perhaps this cult has taken over the temple somehow, or at least hiding out nearby? I agree, the temple is the best startin' point we got. Let's head out."
Mardon nods, gathers his things, and heads off with his Force Gray mates and Esme, heading to the temple at the center of the "murder circle."
The temple is a large cathedral with 4 towers, 2 higher and 2 lower. The front door is flanked by 2 statues of solars.
The inside of the cathedral holds rolls of seats and 4 large stained glass windows on the left and right. A mass is happening at the moment.
Mardon quietly waits outside until the mass is complete, intending to go in and speak with the resident clergymen about the murders, after the service.

Rubin scouts around the outside of the area, looking for anything or anyone who seems out of place.

Rubin moves to check out these individuals in church uniforms.

These seem to be people who normally go to church. Unfortunately, they seem to be leaving.
Rubin would point them out to the others. "Maybe we should follow them, they seem to be acting oddly."
Ander nods in agreement, and follows the individuals, discretely.
They seem to be doing nothing but walking away. They are not conversing or doing anything of the sort.
