He chuckles softly.

"I AM vile" Mr. Boddy says and puts his glass down "I best go get killed. SOmewhere, in some room" He walks off

"By somebody, with some item, I believe," Miss Scarlet murmurs, drifting over to a pair of French doors opening onto a garden.

"Twere this a Christie, it would be everyone."

A gasp from the Butler "Mr. Boddy is DEAD!"

"That was fast..." Who all is still in the room?

NO one. All have slipped out.

Or was that chicanery

Nay, Flicker flash!

"I suppose it would be cheating to use a Cantrip to solve this?"

Everyone is in a different room

Miss Scarlet starts in the Conservatory, (There's no garden btw)

(Oops!)

Col Mustard saw a flash, and he realizes he's in the dining room

"Splendid!" He finds himself a candlestick to polish off one of the tables.

She blinks and turns around, wondering how she got there. "Well...that was sudden."

Our Reverend finds himself in the hall

And, perhaps too predictable, Professor Plum finds hreself IN the library

Miss Scarlet takes a look around the Conservatory. Does anything seem odd or out-of-place?

Zara checks her surroundings!

Well, a conservatory or Solarium does have a kind of garden set up in a few window plants thanks to the huge windows and normally, sunlight (Though it is somehow gray and raining outside now) . She looks about

(Plum) THe Professor looks about the Library and has to admire the trouble put into making it look in the old tudor style. Fine selection here, but a few gag books labeled things like 'How Morticia got her groove back' and 'Mary Shelly Fights the Patriarchy'

Mustard realizes the Candlestick he's grabbed has a light coat of webbing.

August dutifully looks around.

"Aha." He observes. "Clearly the spiders are the culprit." As he carefully replaces it, having noticed that, showing disuse, the candlestick could not have been recently used in a murder.

(Perception plus alertness for August Dif 7, or PErception plus Investigation Dif 6)

(Plum in the library) Zara glances down and realize the floor has a thin layer of dust. Yet she is the only one who has left footprints.

(CONSERVATORY SCARLET) Coradel looks about and finds a flower with a card in it. She may read it if she likes

She does like, thankyouverymuch.

(LIBRARY) "Mmm..." Clearly, there was no murder here. Is there an iconic weapon to eliminate?

(CONSERVATORY) "Hmmmm...." Scarlet says after reading the note. She folds it and slips it into the bustline of her dress.

(The HALL, REV GREEN) The Great hall has a marvelous rug, and .. as he walks along it, our good Liam notices a buldge under one part of it, near a tapestry

(LIBRARY) Zara looks for a weapon, but rather finds something written in a web

(DINING HALL) Mustard pours himself a drink. And maybe a second one.

(DINING ROOM) he pours a drink and words form in the glass, like dye being revealed by lemon juice

(LIBRARY) "Aye. Tis true. It is not an act I could bear."

(DINING ROOM) “Oh, I need must check on the poor dear.”

(CONSERVATORY) She looks about again, but if she sees nothing else of interest, she sees if she can exit the room to find others.

(HALL) Rev Green investigates the rug lump.

(HALL) He pulls forth a leadpipe. Looking it over... he finds that.. Whisper PM

During all this, Mrs Peacock also wanders, who knows which room, while gathering evidence
