Guard

• Player: What's going on here?
• Guard: Oh, its terrible.
• Guard: Lord Sinclair has been murdered
• Guard: And we don't have any clues as to
• Guard: who or why. We're totally baffled
• Guard: If you can help us
• Guard: we will be very grateful
  • Sure, I'll help
    • Player: Sure, I'll help
    • Guard: thanks a lot!
    • Player: What should I be doing to help?
    • Guard: Look around and investigate who might be responsible
    • Guard: the sarge said every murder leaves clues to who done it
    • Guard: but frankly we're out of our depth here
  • You should do your own dirty work
    • Player: You should do your own dirty work
    • Guard: get lost then, this is private property.

Talking again

• What should I be doing to help again?
  • Player: What should I be doing to help again?
  • Guard: Look around and investigate who might be responsible
  • Guard: the sarge said every murder leaves clues to who done it

• How did Lord Sinclair die?
  • Player: How did Lord Sinclair die?
  • Guard: well its all very mysterious.
  • Guard: Mary the maid found the body in the study next to his bedroom
  • Guard: on the east wing of the ground floor, the door was found locked,
  • Guard: from the inside, and he seemed to have been stabbed
  • Guard: but there was an odd smell in the room. Frankly, I'm stumped
• I know who did it!
  • Player: I know who did it!
  • Guard: Really? That was quick work! Who?
    • It was an intruder!
      • Player: It was an intruder!
      • Guard: Thats what we were thinking too.
      • Guard: That someone broke in, to steal something
      • Guard: was discovered by Lord Sinclair, stabbed him and ran.
      • Guard: Its odd that apparently nothing was stolen though.
      • Guard: Find out something has been stolen, and the case is closed
      • Guard: But the murdered man was a friend of the king
      • Guard: and its more than my jobs worth not to investigate fully
    • the butler did it!
      • Player: the butler did it!
      • Guard: I hope you have proof to that effect.
      • Guard: we have to arrest someone for this and it seems to me that

              • Guard: tch. You wouldn't last a day in the guards
