Riley whispers to Kale "He's selling you snake oil. Do whatever you want with this knowledge but he's telling you a mix of lies and things you already know."

Moving off the bar he'll take a drink over to Agatha and quietly say "If we can't get anything out of these boys and the bakery turns out to be a bust then I say you and I just walk the streets come nightfall. Give this Ripper some tasty looking bait that bites back, y'know"

"Enjoy your drink. If you (looks at the others and the bartender) or anyone else comes across any concrete information, contact our garrison. If it proves useful, you will be rewarded for your efforts afterwards."

"I think that's all were gonna get out of here. Lets do the Baker next as planned"

Riley will enjoy his last few seconds of moderate dryness then move swiftly through the rain to the Bakers to ask him if he knows anything about the incidents

Dalus follows behind, annoyed at the ignorance and disrespect of the locals. "Bakery first, yes. After that, the actual crime scene. There will undoubtedly be actual evidence there."

"Right then. To the baker's. Thumbs palmed." Kale follows and pauses at the door and turns around. "You coming Agatha?"

(If the Shield SLA can be used against Rain:)
Kale shouts after Riley and Dalus, "If you guys hate rain so much, I might be able to help with that."

(If the others accept, Kale will be happy to walk beside everyone while the shield hovers over them)

The rain is a little less violent now. You can make out more details, even more with the rainshield.

The bakery is across the street and to your right. There's a light in the window. Across the street from you is an alley. There's another alley to your immediate right.

He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Check both alleyways before heading into the Bakers

Recognizing his lack of empathy for non-augmented humans, Dalus is going to circle the building looking for clues while everyone else goes inside and interrogates the poor breadsmith. Get a feel for this Baker and whether he can be trusted and maybe even turn up a legitimate clue.

The baker's is adjacent to some other, currently closed, buildings. It cannot be circled.

But in the alleyway across from the inn, Riley finds something. (Fort save, find coming in PM).

Turning to look into an alleyway Riley suddenly tenses and jerkily whips out his Meltagun, eyes wide with alarm.

"Fuck!" Riley shouts "Come 'ere!"

Kale draws his Stubb Gun and looks in the same direction as Riley. "What's there?"

The narrow alleyway leads to a little courtyard. The few doorways and windows facing the area have been boarded up. Sprawled on the cobbles, amid the weeds and trash, is a corpse. Or what is left of a corpse. The body has been almost completely dissected. Organs have been lined neatly next to the corpse. Bits of flesh hang from an old clothesline. Two eyeballs watch you with interest from the window ledge. If only their companion, a thick red tongue, could tell you who did this filthy deed.

Agatha hurries, also assuming by the outburst that there was trouble. As such, her shotgun is already out in both hands when she gets to the crime scene with the others.

"So we've found another victim... just be careful, if the killer is still there, we could become the next victims."

There's no need to see if the corpse is going to get up - it seems rather unlikely to be a case of "almost dead". Instead, she looks about at the windows, boarded-up though they may be.

(Spot 23, or 25 if there are Orks to be spotted.)

After lowering his rifle Riley moves away from the corpse quickly and spends a minute with his hands on his knees, just trying to breathe air that doesn't smell like rotting corpse.
"If anyone knows anything about bodies, or tracks, or medicine, or crime scenes or anything take a look. I'm just a gun grunt, I got no use over there"

(If given a minute, Riley will slowly head back over and try to provide some help. Using Aid Another on any Search, Heal, or Knowledge checks anyone is making)

Kale examines the corpse and the surrounding area.

(He has Heal ranks if that's any good for autopsies, but no Wis mod. Heal Check: 11. If taking 10 is an option, 14. Knowledge Local 16 (rolled 10) to see if there's anything odd about the way the corpse is dressed or anything. Search: 13 (16 if taking 10 is an option) to search the surrounding area for anything funny)

"I'll check the roof, the killer may have escaped that way."

Dalus climbs onto the roof! (1d20+11=31; fuck yeah natural 20) and looks around for knife wielding maniacs or other evildoers.

Results: There's no footprints surrounding the body, or leading away from it. The rooftop looks clear. The corpse is not too old, certainly from the beginning of the night.

(Knowledge Local (rolled 13+6=19) How do the locals typically handle corpses? Is there a watch or guard outpost nearby?)

"This happened a few hours ago. The perpetrator is probably long gone. But there's still a chance someone's seen something."

Dalus gets down and searches the body for any clue as to the victim's identity. "The perpetrator had to have left some sort of clue. There is always a trace left behind."

Search result: 1d20+4=18; used anydice instead of the chatroom because yuffie was missing.

(Add +2 to that search check. If we don't find anything I say we take 20 and keep searching, there's got to be some clue to take from this)

(Kale has a +6 Search Mod, so taking 20 gets 26. With 3 Aid Anothers, we can make it 32)

You find some blood where the corpse leaked, but no footprints, no weapons, no nothing.

But careful analysis of the corpse shows the cuts were made by a small edged object, very probably like a good-sized knife--or a dagger, as the locals called them.

(Any of you guys have some sort of camera or something? Might be a good idea to take some pictures and ask the local blacksmith (or if there's an expert on blood splatter analysis or something at our garrison, them) about the nature of the weapon and whoever made the cuts.)

"Don't think there's anything more we can do here. Might as well find out if the Baker's seen anything."
