Boris told us of a connection between Helmontra and Petram. I'd have to look for the exact quote but it was something like 'Petram knew Helmontra's fury' or 'Petram learned respect for Helmontra'. Something like that.Doctor Malsyn wrote: ↑Sat Jul 30, 2022 3:59 am Could you give us a reminder of why we came here? It's slipped me.

Yep! You guys are there to investigate any connections. Your assumptions were that Helmontra is an akuma and sent the corrupted Boris to spread its word and procure more sacrifices.

I agree with the suggestions so far. Talking to the mayor about the Warden thing might yield more answers than a random village person.
How old did the mayor look to be?

I recommend going to the mayor and asking about Old Petram, seeing where that conversation leads us. Ericka's typically been the talker of the group but any of us could. Lloyd's never been much of a talker though.

Re: Tales from the Trails (Soulbound) - (Full)
Just to be clear; I want each player to contribute something to the investigation. It can be soemthing the party does as a group, or splits up to do, or a single character peeling off.
It's less about your characters deciding to do something for the investigation, but the players deciding something for the group to do and gleaning information out of it, regardless of how it looks from the in character perspective.
The point of this exercise is to have the investigation move along briskly while giving you guys plenty of information to work with. If we were to roleplay the whole investigation, it could literally take months waiting on responses and questions, and I'm trying to avoid that. o-o

Malsyn, you've got four questions to ask as you have the group (or Ericka by herself) go about questioning townsfolk.
Remember, this is a group investigation. Your action chosen is for the group as a whole more than it is for your individual characters.

Erhm, I can't exactly think of anything specific. Erica is far more intelligent than her player here.

I did make a list of some potential subjects for inspiration on the previous page if that helps.

No, seriously, I'm trying to think of questions to ask but even with the list in front of me I'm drawing a blank. At best, I think she'd try to pursue her line of question about local signs of corruption as far as it could go, but that'd have depended on the responses she'd receive.

Well, that's okay as well. I mean, with five of you, that's 15 questions before rolling anything, and upto five more based on rolling.
20 questions can cover a boatload of investigation. Not gonna force anyone to ask their full set of questions if they have no ideas. Just let me know for sure you're done so I'm not waiting on anyone.
Have yet to hear from Prof Weird.

Could Moira prompt Ericka to ask them what the pyre's to the North are for?
