Sigil: City of Doors

murder , as reported by sigis

some persons, reading the article, would, at least for mere curiosity, check how the suspect looks like , and whatever other bits of informations might be publicaly shared by the guards

For any interest parties, they would be able to gather a rough description of Roy Marcus. He has medium length bushy blonde hair. His face shows a lack of care with about a weeks worth of stubble. His clothes are little more than rags and he constantly stinks of BO and Whiskey. He used to frequent the Bottle and Jug of the Hive Ward and frequently made trips to and from Undersigil. What people would remember most is that he was a woman beater. On many occasions people around Sigil have witnessed Roy smacking around his homely but lovely wife Sara. The only reason he skipped jail time for so long is that his Harmonium brother Tom Marcus would convince his superiors that Roy was working on his issues. Eventually Tom tired of his brother lies and excuses and turned him in for assault as well as other charges, including drug trafficking and thievery. Not much else is openly known about Roy Marcus and the Harmonium are remaining tight lipped on further details.

After reading over the SIGIS article and asking about the Bazaar, Nienna starts searching for signs of Sara's family and friends. She begins with asking several touts in area about one Sara Marcus, and anything they knew of her.

To Nienna: You find that Sara was never in public much and the times she was her husband kept her on a short leash. Most who you speak to have seen him hit Sara Marcus on more than one occasion. She was a good woman and always defended her husband who never became abusive until Sara had bedded another man. They believe the only reason he was never jailed sooner was because of his brother Tom, who was a member of the Harmonium. None you speak to are surprised to see that Sara's life ended at the hands of her husband.

To Serin: The Bartender would confirm that Roy Marcus was in fact a regular. He would offer up that Roy came in the day after his wife was murdered asking to be hidden. He told the barkeeper he didn't do it. He would never and that he was being set up. He loved his wife and was ashamed of how he had been treating her. The bartender said he agreed but sent someone to fetch the Harmonium. He tried to keep him there as long as he could but said Roy grew suspicious and ducked out. He narrowly just escaped the Harmonium and the bartender hasn't seen him since.

''fetchin' the bone back to the dogs, you tried, uh? *smirks* And now who knows where ta bone buried itself in, mh? Nae a great fetchin' dear...*sips flipping idly through the sigis then peers over at him and back to the paper* how much is the reward anyway? Might give it a try meself ... y'know if he had any other... *glances in his eyes briefly*...''trusted'' person where to hide at?''

///might edit this later. just too tired now to complete it

A man on a stool close to Serin speaks up.

"Reward? Ain't heard nothin' 'bout no reward but if'n ya wanted ta find 'im wit' 'is pecker in 'is hand talk ta Ronin in Undersigil. 'Ee's one o tha' folk tha' make folk disappear. Fer a price, 'ee may 'ave a notion to loosen 'is lips."

Serin nods as she look attentively at the man, registering his appearance, expression, voice and so on, also in a attempt to catch any eventual glimpse of hidden motives behind the info he is giving to her. More than free drinkage at least, which anyway she pays, offering the man a round of drink. and asks him if he knows exactly where, in undersigil, and what Ronin looks like

The man never gives a name but he does tell her that Ronin would easily be found at one of the pubs in Undersigil. Always after hours and always in the most expensive booth. He likewise give a description of Ronin. Blond hair, blue eyes, heavily muscled, and usually dressed in black. He would then look expectantly for another drink. With this gentleman it would seem his only motive is free booze.


OOC: If people are interested I will run an event on this next weekend. Either post or PM me what times work best for you.

after weighting if the man's words can be acceptably reliable, serin pays him a second drink, spends some time to take a look around for any suspicious movements in case the subject of the discussion attracted any interests of sort, and then, a few later, she moves out, apparently heading to undersigil. in truth she soon hide nearby seeing if anyone comes out of the pub to tail her.
if no one does, she goes to undersigil for good

//not sure what you meant with ''always after hours'' in the previous post , though///
////this weekend SHOULD be good. time, well , not too much late for a gmt +1 possibly///
