As discussion begins to wind to a close, you decide to vote on who to give up to the police. After a quick telephone call, the cops pull up to the estate, the red-and-blue lights illuminating the rain-soaked driveway. It's only a matter of time before you'll have to give up the suspect a majority of you have decided to vote out--Uncle Deadly.

Congratulations--you've found the murderer. Ironic how a man framed for murder all these years ago finally became the monster so many people thought he was. It seems like the nightmare is nearly over. As you begin to depart from the lounge room, you think on everything that's transpired here. What will you do, now that Mr. Lionheart is dead? Although you can rest assured that Deadly will be locked behind bars for what he's done tonight, can you truly consider this to be justice?

This is not a question so easily answered.

Thank you again for participating in this murder mystery! We appreciate your patience throughout all this, and for exploring our little experiment. Feel free to finish up whatever threads you have, or have some end game conversations. Don't forget to leave feedback and criticism so we can make this experience even better.

It's half-past nine when everyone reconvenes in the lounge room once more. The tension in the air is palpable as eyes dart from one suspect to another, wondering who will crack first. As the night wears on, it becomes more and more apparent that something must be done. As interesting as it would be to Weekend-at-Bernie's Mr. Lionheart's corpse, someone will find out about the murder eventually. The culprit must be caught, unless everyone else wishes to hang on their behalf.

You've gathered more clues from the rest of the manor--now, it's time to put everything together and catch a murderer.

As before, this part of the murder mystery is a freeform discussion of the evidence and potential theories on whodunnit. Feel free to interject in other people's threads, accuse people, lie, cheat...whatever it takes to get the truth. If you want to ask for any mod clarification, feel free to request it in your comment title.

Remember--the game concludes on Saturday, where you will be asked to vote on who you think murdered Mr. Lionheart. If a majority of characters vote for a suspect, that suspect will be arrested, and you'll be told whether the guess was correct or not. Whatever your conclusion is, make sure you don't split the vote--for splitting the vote will have worse implications for everyone involved. Get to it--there's a murder to be solved!

Once the initial discussion begins to die down, it becomes more and more evident that you don't have the full picture. Arguments erupt, conversations become circular, and tensions continue to rise as fingers are pointed every which way. Eventually, you all decide to split up and search the rest of the manor for more evidence. Nobody leaves the estate grounds until you're able to tie the murder to someone here.

Time to investigate.

thedirectors

With clues and information in hand, you gather in the lounge room on the second floor of the Lionheart estate. The room is dimly lit, casting long shadows against the deep red walls and intricately woven carpet. Plush chairs and chaise lounges are scattered around, inviting you to take a seat. In the corner of the room is a tall grandfather clock, tick tick tick-ing the seconds away as you sit. A rotary phone sits dormant on a small serving table, waiting for someone to pick it up and call the police.

There's now the matter of the dead man and who killed him--and, surely, it must be one of your number who did the deed, as you were the last group of people to interact with him. This looks bad for everyone. The police would have a field day with this. Everyone's a suspect, and unless you want to walk out of here in handcuffs, you better make sure you pin the true culprit.

Better start talking--you don't want to be the one accused of murder, now do you?

This part of the murder mystery is a freeform discussion of the evidence and potential theories on whodunnit. Feel free to interject in other people's threads, accuse people, lie, cheat...whatever it takes to get the truth. You're free to also come up with whatever props one could realistically find in a lounge room. If you want to ask for any mod clarification, feel free to request it in your comment title! We'll get to it as soon as possible.

Rain begins to pelt the roof and windows at around 7:50 PM. The wind shrieks and howls outside, threatening to claw its way into the very house and tear it apart. Appropriately dreadful weather for the dreadful night that would soon ensue.

At around ten past eight, a terrifying, blood-curdling howl is heard from upstairs. Captain Ahab, screaming of murder, bloody murder!

It takes little time for you all to scramble upstairs and into Mr. Lionheart's room, but the scene that greets you is ghastly. It's hard to make out an expression of any kind, but he looks almost...angry. Perhaps a tinge fearful. Whatever the case may be, it's the last expression he'll ever make. For currently, Mr. Lionheart's dead body dangles halfway out of his bed, threatening to fall onto the floor.

A peel of thunder shakes the very foundations of the house as lightning streaks across the sky, illuminating Edgar Lionheart's frozen face. Looks like dinner will have to wait until later.

Dare you investigate?

thedirectors

The invite instructed you to come to the manor to celebrate Mr. Edgar Lionheart's 75th birthday party at precisely 7 PM. An ominous peel of thunder rumbled in the distance as the guests began to arrive at the manor. Passing through the estate's grand gates was like passing some invisible threshold from one mundane realm to one more fantastical and heightened in reality.

As the front door opened and you walked into the vestibule, you were greeted by Mr. Lionheart himself--a large, bearded man with graying hair wearing an expensive royal blue tuxedo. He smiled, holding out his hand for a handshake.

"Welcome to the Lionheart Estate, my good fellow. May I take your coat? Ah--dinner will be at 8 PM, following a speech. I have a few important announcements to make...but that can wait until later. For now, help yourself to a few drinks--we're here to celebrate, after all."

And with that, he departed to tend to the other guests. The sound of a grandfather clock somewhere in the house echoed throughout the hallway, counting down the minutes until dinner. The entrance hall loomed before you, beckoning you to...well, enter, if you dare.

One thing was sure--this would be an unforgettable evening.

Welcome to the murder mystery! Make sure that you carefully read over your dossiers to understand the scenario. Each character has been given a pre-murder task, which can be completed at any point during the week. The murder investigation will go up on Saturday, June 4th. In the meantime, just enjoy the party and mingle with the guests while you can. Perhaps you'll discover some interesting information for later....
