Second investigation

[letsplayamod]

[Friday has come once again, Typhon’s deadline for the carrot of a motive dangled in front of their faces. Temptations abound and, when the godlings stir in the morning, the air feels thick in a way it hasn’t before. Thunder rumbles outside and the sound of sheets of rain pour down but only ends up pounding against Athena’s protective barrier. No one could ask for a finer umbrella.

There's no more monstrous cyclops threatening your morning. The horses were corralled back to their stables to wind down from the frightening excitement of last Wednesday. From then on, Typhon's threats have once more grown quiet. Everything seems to be... fine.

Still, something feels off.]

[Oof yeah, Alex really was dealt a rough hand (haha) wasn't he... Okay, anything else to note about his front before Zvei flips him over?]

[letsplayamod]

[Nope!

Upon flipping him over Zvei finds that all of the chisels (lethal and non) pierced straight through him, the sharp edges cutting through the back of his shirt and soaking it and the flat top of the anvil in blood. Ouch.]

[necromants]

[Yeesh. What a way to go... Anything interesting or noteworthy on his back otherwise? What about the anvil? I'm assuming the amount of blood is correct for what Alex lost, so nothing weird there?]

[letsplayamod]

[The amount of blood loss matches, yes. It's definitely just Alex's blood here.

The only other thing of note about Alex's body is, if his shirt is lifted to take a closer look, his back has similar fresh impact bruising as his face and arms.]

[necromants]

[...Huh. Did he slam his back into anything? Zvei wasn't there for the initial impact, so he'll have to ask about that. Anything noteworthy about the bruising? Size/shape? Anything else that stands out as strange given the crime scene?]

[letsplayamod]

[Judging by the shape and size it looks like it's likely from landing on the anvil and then being crushed by the heavy shelf.]

[necromants]

[Makes sense! Really does seem like there's nothing else off here... I'll let you guys know tomorrow if I have any more questions, but I think that covers it!]
