I had a brilliant idea. A "catch the wolf" in df thing. i will now present our protagonists:
The fortress is called : Gripwhips
It's the 9th of granite, year 172, Early spring.
Countess Zulban Rovodgigin (archfliers) (F)
Mayor Rith Oburineth (heroiccities) (M)
Captain of the guard Lor Bomreknekut (Whipsecret) (F)
Militia Commander Thob Okirinod (Eldergate) (M)
Manager Edem Mengkodor (Lasheddawned) (M)
Chief medical dwarf Olon Rulmonom (Mutepapers) (M)
Broker Logem nethustuth (balancedfenced) (F)
Bookkeeper Sibrek Asmelezar (Merchantsoldier) (M)
milita captain Nish Thizinod (fastengates) (F)
The population is of 138 dwarfs.
Of this, 20 are childrens.
The children who already died are the following:
Likot Udnomal a dwarven child, and Urist Kadolkastar, a dwarven baby.
Other deaths are the following:
Zulban isetherit, miner
ezum teshkadlogem, metalcrafter
momuz vathsithvucar, mechanic
litast akrunalzush, fisher
cerol loloktomem, miller
fikod zuntirlaz, fishery worker
thob uzolrulush, fisherdwarf
alath usancilob, woodcrafter.
And a Lamb (pet) and a dog (pet).
The military of the fortress is composed of 3 squads.
The captain of the guard is alone in one squad.
The other squads are made one by 10 dwarves and the other by 2.
Obviously no justice system will be posted, (too easy in that way).
It's a "one question for one answer" thing. I'll give the most general answer i can, so be specific with the question (no, who's the killer or the like obviously).
Let's see if the killer will be catched or not.
No random guessing.
I just presented the main protagonists, but it doesn't mean the killer is amongst them.
Who will find the killer first? or will he manage to kill more and more childrens?
let's see how you fare against an unknown baby killer.
The first Hint, for the first day of the culprit searching.
Through diary form, obviously.
Diary of Ezum Teshkadlogem
I was asked to smelt galena and tetrahedrite from the higher ups, for silver and copper.
I'm quite wondering what are we going to do with it, we already are at full storage capacity, we're even sleeping with the armok damn silver and copper bars!
I usually visit the grand tomb made to commemorate the deaths of those who the forgotten beast killed, in the mining shaft, a couple of years ago, Zulban Isetherit was asked to mine and open a breach directly in the caves, where a flying hornet like beast was seen. He died from it's poison, to think just a couple of days before we already had the tragedy of Likot, poor children, we found him dismembered, like a beast had killed him and eaten him, and mawed him, body parts were everywhere. Near the trade depot. Now i'm going to stop writing, i have to work on smelting this things.
Hint number 2
Eyewitness for the murder of Likot
"well, ya see, i was jus going down the road next to the depot, and just moved near the door for the, you know, the stockpiles, when i heard a savage scream. I froze on myself and thought it was about bein sober and all, so i drank a full load of dwarven ale and went back on my steps.
that's when i tripped and fell.
i swear it, something terrible had happened. the body of the fellow was like, smashed against the wall, and it's arm was, well, the thing on which i tripped!!! it was terrible, really, really terrible, who would do such a thing??"
"hmm...yes. you may go now" this was not going to be an easy case. Something wasn't quite right. Somebody had to know something, but what?
Let's give a push to the DF community:
Who should be interrogated now? a noble, a farmer category dwarf, a fisherdwarf, or who?
