Hikan Riddlewire's notes, kept on his person
22nd - 28th Moonstone, 1067
The following is the weekly contents of Riddlewire's notes before he transfers them and any accompanying comments to his journal out in the wastes.Investigation proceeding slowly
Vatek totally useless ARGH!No new murders since Wavepaddles; killer might be biding time or is onto us
Info from questionings:
Stravitch - no info; indisposed, refuses to answer questions, intimidating as hell
Kuli - no info; been imprisoned
Jools - no info; angry over ban on religion, amongst other things, but horrified of murders
Vash - no info; angry like Jools, not moved to violence; seemed nervous during questioning, probably nothing
Zako - only witness to Stravitch's attempted murder; His words exactly: "Half-elf girl. Fell into the magma pipe though." When pressed about the body, he admitted he didn't see it go in.
Aryn - Aryn knew nothing; chastised me for asking him, said that it was my job to find out how these people were dying
Rinsesilver - refused to answer questions in any meaningful way
Dodik - no info;
Sulari - no info; said she would keep me posted
Merkil - no info; too dejected
Suspect list:
Stravitch - Wouldn't kill himself; disembowelment too neat for him
Kuli - been in prison; knew nothing of deaths
Jools - solid alibis; gentle spirit, despite being a soldier
Vash - solid alibis; metalsmiths vouched for him at times of death
Aryn - I'd know if Aryn was trying to kill somebody. He'd send me.
Mystery half-elf - likely dead, but body not found
Can't inform populace of possibility of half-elf without informing half-elf; must remain a secret between me and Vatek. Back to square one: waiting for killer to strike.
Will not be transferring notes to journal until killer found; too dangerous. Possibility of getting murdered in night. Need way to hide them from Udib; not enough room in trenchcoat.
Have told Vatek about possibility of mystery elf-chick. He's been warned.
Injury total for week of 22nd Moonstone while keeping order:

Total blood loss:
Quarter mug
It's been a bad week so far for bruisings.

OOC: Reading about "stomp their face into dust" made me think of Mario. Now I have a dwarf Mario with a mask on running around jumping on skeletal koopas @_@
And dwarves eat mushrooms, and there are only four colors of dye in DF: red, green, blue, and black: the only ones you would need to make a sprite of Mario! The metaphor is complete!
Mario Jumpman the Joyfulness of Jumping has been ecstatic lately. He has taken joy in slaughter recently.
