Summary

Inn Murder Investigation

The group discovered a dead body in the corridor outside their room at the inn. Frankie and Gore examined the body, which had a knife wound in its back and a multicolored tattoo at the base of its skull. They determined the victim was a common traveler, likely killed by someone with access to the inn’s back rooms. The group determined the scene was staged, with minimal blood and a scrape mark on the wall, suggesting the victim was killed elsewhere and brought to this location. They found no clear signs of robbery. Frankie and Vyth checked the surrounding area for blood trails or evidence, while Rock and Halvor analyzed the body’s condition. The group agreed to investigate the victim’s roommates and speak to the innkeeper for more information, while Halvor and Vyth remained on watch in the corridor.

Intruders Searching for Federico Piparoli

A group of armed men arrived at the inn searching for Federico Piparoli, who they believed was connected to the deceased traveler. The party debated the layout of the inn and the movements of various characters, including a couple who had arrived by boat. They considered the implications of the new arrivals and their hostile intentions, while also dealing with an impatient innkeeper who wanted to maintain order.

Intruder Subduing at Staircase Encounter

The group responded to an intruder and his thugs who were searching for Federico Piparoli. Halvor, Gore, and the innkeeper successfully restrained the intruders at the staircase. Rock intercepted the leader of the group as he attempted to ascend the stairs, delivering a flurry of non-lethal blows that incapacitated him. The intruders were subdued, and the group decided to let them go after the leader’s unconscious body was removed from the stairs.

Dealing with a Disruptive Guest

The group encountered a disruptive guest who was drunk and causing a disturbance, demanding to find a man named Federico Piparoli. Halvor and Frankie attempted to calm the situation, while Rock and Gore maintained security. The group discussed the possibility of dunking the man in the river to sober him up, but ultimately decided to let the innkeeper handle the situation. They also heard faint yelling from the corridor, but the source was unclear.

Inn Dispute Resolution

The group helped resolve a situation with three rowdy guests by negotiating their removal, which was successfully completed. Frankie shared information about a potential murder case involving a scribe and his companions, but the group decided not to get involved. The group then planned to approach a couple in a room to discuss their situation, though they were initially thwarted by the innkeeper’s knocking on a different room.

Hotel Room Disturbance Investigation

The group investigated a disturbance in a hotel room where a young couple was being threatened by a man claiming to be their betrothed. After a confrontation, they determined the couple was telling the truth about not wanting to be together, and the man was likely lying about his identity. The group conducted a security sweep of the room, checking for hidden persons, and found no one else present. They decided to stop for the night and continue their investigation the following week.
