++++ Good Cop, Bad Cop |
I propose that CorvusTheValet be the Good Cop, since I am Bad Cop.

He agrees.

It is so awkward.

I decide to wait for the expert.

++++ Tea Contest |
CorvusTheValet has been called to a Tea Contest.  DoctorCharles supports this fully.

Bethany brings a Grand Copy of the Art of Tea.

++++ Icecream! No wait, it's a scream! |
TheMarshall hears a scream.  He goes to investigate--insects swarming in the lobby.

Smashes some.  Maybe acid on the ground after?  TheMarshall calls for DoctorCharles.

++++ What Happened? |
DoctorCharles questions the customers about what happened.

He investigates the insect.  Symbol on their wings may be from the BlackLotusTong.  CorvusTheValet will investigate.
++++

++++ The Only Escape |
TheMarshall finds that that PirkessDunlands seems to be fully dead.

CorvusTheValet investigates.  Notices an acid smell.  Small pool at the body's feet.  He leaves.  Containment.  20 minutes later.  Nothing left of him or the chair, except a metal skull.  It has a strange, destroyed rune.

He takes it to DoctorCharles who investigates.
++++

++++ Tea Duel |
I keep SkarleTheKobold occupied.

3 out of 3.  Total 71 vs 47.  CorvusTheValet wins, promoted to gold.

The other guy is demoted.
