You are a dwarf detective in a crime scene. The crime scene is the barracks.

There lay a middle-aged dwarf in the middle of the room, most likely stabbed in the stomach. (Investigate?) There is a bloody chair behind him, though the blood trail indicates that he was dragged from the other direction. (Investigate?) On the table, a knife covered in blood is stuck inside. (Investigate?) There is a female witness holding her crying, dwarven baby in her arms. (Question?)

What do you investigate/question first?

[Microcline]

If the knife is stuck in the table, then one or the other is made of an exotic material.  Either the table is made of wood (a dwarf with a table not made of stone or precious metal is downright unusual) or the knife is made of some metal far stronger than steel, and was wielded by something unnaturally strong.

[kilozombie]

So investigate the table with knife?

[Crashmaster]

Look like it was more then he could stomach.

YYYEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

Case closed, seal fort and purge with magma.

[kilozombie]

Just going to continue with investigating knife in table...

The table is made out of copper, and the knife stuck in appears to be Furno Ultrotame's knife, a strong, burly man in the Barracks. It's a knife made out of a sleek candy wafer and seemed to be stabbed in very badly. Either Furno was anxious, or it was not Furno who wielded it. The blood is dry.

Who made the knife? Must've been mood.

Twas obviously the witness

Twas obviously the witness

You talk to the witness.

"All I heard was his yell... then a stabbing in the table."

Questions:

1. Did you know the victim?
2. How long was the yell?
3. Did you hear stabbing of the victim?

[NRDL]

Ask all three.

[Conan]

Ask the mysterious overseer who killed the guy. 

I wonder how dwarves perceive the upper forces controlling them.

[kilozombie]

"Did you know the victim?"

"Of course. He's well known, but not exactly famously. A few of the men in the militia don't really like him."

"How long was the yell?"

"Oh... I don't know, two or three seconds?"

"Did you hear him actually being stabbed?"

"Well, yes. It was faint, but I heard it."

What do you do next?

1. Investigate body
2. Investigate trail

[Conan]

Ask witness if Mr. Victim had any grudges/people he hated.

Also ask witness if Mr. Victim was under any moods/influence by ghosts.

Wrong section, this belongs in Forum Games and Roleplaying. This section is for stories and games that have a direct link to Dwarf Fortress, not a forum game based on it.

Right, thanks, how do I move it?

Right, thanks, how do I move it?

You don't, you make a new thread in that section and lock this one.
