Rev Green keeps the lead pipe, and continues searching.

Rev Green finds no secret passages in the hall. He seems to remember that's part of the game. He can stay in the Hall, or go to another room

He will explore!

Miss Scarlet is, likewise, exploring, moving on to the next room down the hall.

NEarest rooms to him appear to be the lounge or the study, one to his left the other to his right, but he can go to others

The nearest rooms to Miss Scarlet are the Billard room the south or the Ballroom to the west

The studious Reverend naturally gravitates towards the study.

Zara has rooms to see!

Oh, the billiard room! That looks intriguing! She glides through that doorway.

(Professor Plum)The library is just south of the billards room, and north of the study, and those are the closest to Zara for her to pick. She comes out and can see Scarlett going to the billards room and Green going to the Study. She could join either, or move on further to the other rooms

"Ah... " She can't quite call out.

"Aug-... Reverend?"

(STUDY) The Study is not so different from August own beloved Office in Earth Runes, there is an antique desk... a filing cabinet...

A soft huff of frustration.

(BILLARDS ROOM) One can almost imagine the smell of pipesmoke, offset only by a vase of flowers, and there is a rather lush and still well preserved billard table complete with balls and sticks. Insert Fiona joke here

(As before, Perception plus ALertness Dif 7, or Perception plus investigation Dif 6. Furhter, Coradel may roll a Int plus Alertness in addition)

Billiards room, then. It's closer.

She drifts around the room, her delicate fingers coasting over the felt off the billiards table,

/roll 5 7

/roll 4

She gazes around the room, seemingly idle but perhaps more attentive than she looks.

His ear attunted to her whisper after all these years, he turns in the doorway and looks out. "Zar....ahhh... Professor?"

But it is too late!! Zara has slippedi nto the billards room

Perhaps he was imagining it. After all, no one sees Zara unles she wishes it. He'll examine the Study.

The first thing Coradel notices is, there is a note in one of the pockets.

The second thing Coradel notices is the flowers in the vase of aare a particular type

"Oooh." She fishes the note out of the billiard table pocket, and reads it.

(STUDY) The desk first, then the filing cabinet. Desk top, desk drawers.... the chair?

Zara aka Plum notices the flowers, of course, notices the note, and notices the thing strapped UNDER THe billard table. She also

also finds the where Coradel is putting the notes she's collected. She's no piskie, but she might be able to.. is that legal?

Yes, after she reads it, this note is also slipped into her cleavage.

(REV GREEN) Finds the Revolver in the desk

She murmurs, "Of course he was," and smiles as she tucks the note away.

He examines it carefully, and looks for something to carry it in.

Zara checks under the table, first.

She finds the object under it.

Scarlett doesn't see Plum skulking about. And she may assume that's all the clues she could find here

Well, with Coradel stealing clues...

Yes, that's certainly the only clue here. She meanders on her way out of the billiards room, and on to the BALLROOM.

The object is Zara's to claim.

The note is gone, but the room is given one last look.

And Zara removes the weapon under the Billards table

(STUDY) Green/August finds a small case he can put the REvolver in

(DINING ROOM) Vince finishes his drink, and goes in search of Mrs. White...

(BALL ROOM) SCARLETT enters in, only to find Mrs. Peacock nosing about. Clem's elder form is maintained. It's really a lovely ball room bnut Clem moves along CAREFULLY , slowly, as if she might fall?

(KITCHEN) Vince finds Mrs. White in the Kitchen, her housekeeping outfit fitting there. She sees Vicnce "Col. Mustard, may I help you? WOuld you like an arsenic sandwich?"

He moves over, offering a hand in a gentlemanly fashion. "My dear Mrs. White, however are you today? Feeling well?"

Miss Scarlet observes Mrs. Peacock a moment before saying, "Do your feet hurt, dear Peacock?"
