Vòh: part 2 - Murder

Corvus is accused of murdering Wasserman Jr.
- The crime was done at a fencing school
  - he shouldn't have died to 1 attacker (this is unknown in the game)
Investigation into the murder lead to the City of Boats where we find out captain went on a mission with a Movadi that hasd a pet Owlbear and had an Ekwaara companion looking for his Pa - Gatwing. This Movadi said he was driven to do God's work. By the looks of it he was a mercenary that was always short of coin
Our investigation has lead to the Wasserman's ship the Pride of the Sea Mother. It has 12 cannons on each side of the first deck under the main deck. The storeroom had 4 more cannons as well as hatches both above and below
- Men with mouth masks, stiff mops and murky water were seen
- Marines boarded the ship that were armed with long rifles, clad with a breastplate. Colours were black with gold trim
(not known in game) The Pride of the Sea Mother was damaged by dragons about 300 years ago and used to be in possession by the Dustenheils
The Rusty Anchor is an ale house favoured by the officers
"Plague doctors" are roaming around the dock
400 years ago there was a huge pestilence that hit Vòh. Every 4 years they celebrate the healing/curing of it.
While on the Pride of the Sea Mother we learn that the Wasserman's daughter's fiancé (Dilahey) was murdered
- The location of the murder was at the Reddish Plant Sex Organ (I am still learning this Vohene) [Scarlet Blossom] which is a half-elf brothel
Erenn was at Wasserman's side on the ship. A scrawny pale guy
Delahey was dabbling in Polenese style fencing
- Polen is known for their steel and copper
A black silk rope was found near the balcony at the Scarlet Blossom
A shoe print is found and it is quite small, possible the killer is a lady
Rochego Dilahey wanted the box we were hired to get
- Niether Dilahey nor Schönveld knew that there were 2 boxes. Seems like we were set up to something
The black silk rope comes from a place in the Strangers Quarters that equips assassins
Sennór Asta Loá is the fencing instructor who teaches the Polenese style
At Asta L0á the door is green with a stylised firgure in an 8 point cross
The unarmed Ork raiders fight like Asta Loá
The last female student he taught paid with octagonal gold - stylised mountain with a castle on it
There is a rapier at Asta Loá that is oddly weighted and works only with his technique. The blade is folded and braided in its metal work and looks brand new but is about 50 years old
The gold Guinea is minted at the Corsair's secret city
Lord Grimsby hasn't seen his daughter in 10 years - about 16 years
Lord Grimsby's son works at the Factor (accounting house). He speaks Drogasian as though a child would
Lord Grimsby's daughter was a feared pirate, stole a ship and left her fiance
Scorcer's Wiches Boob (Witches Tit) is where we have a drink with Grimsby Jnr.
- The Grimsby's have had a longtime fight with the Wasserman's
- They have the wealth to buy their own army
- Dustenheil is in the history books - a small castle north of Blackrock bend
- Pride of the Sea Mother sailed 1 year ago at the same time Wasserman's 1st wife died - she was lost at sea
  - He married a new wife very quickly after her death
- Lord Grimsb'y daughter wanted to take over the company
Grimsby Jnr's rapier is not ornamental as it has seen action
Dilahey (Wasserman's daughter's fiance) was the eldest son of the Dilahey's
My report to the Inquisitor
- Needed the orchid to make some medicine
- We killed some cultists
- We tried to bring a cultist back alive
Eldest son of the Rainickers is the next murder victim - killed in his own garden
Rainicker was called out to a duel. It was definitely a lady that challenged him. The group (thats being killed) all knew one another and passed one of the maids around (sexually). The maid knew of only Grimsby being alive in group(not known in game)
There was a note left for Corvus from his captain. It says she knows where Mrs Wasserman's body is. It is at the Siren's Tits. Look for flagstone on the northen most tit. Her treasure is there. Wasserman shouldn't know. Signed ECG. Note Wasserman's new wife shouldn't know either (not known)
Navigation to the Siren's Tits is hard. Serpent infested waters.
- Movadi & Ekwaara went in that direction with Captain Grimsby -> never returned. They went to look for something at the Broken Spine
Grimsby's son (Callathan is dead) -> found dead in the Scarlet Blossom -> he has a second wound on his left shoulder. Not a normal weapon; Ring missing from left middle finger, there's blood by the rail.

Note - The technique used to kill everyone requires the defender to parry the first attack to open them up for the lung thrust. (not know)

The guard at the dock at the Scarlet Blossom was knocked unconsciousness. Saw a boat that was black with gold trim and muffled oars. Sleep powder was blown in his face
The knife holding the note Corvus found was not a dagger you'd associate with a pirate - made for killing, well balanced and excellent for throwing
Woman (Isabella) from the fencing school "vanishes" when Quincy follows her to an alley and falls unconcious
Woman that Asta Loá trained that we think is the killer had "dead/passionless eyes"
Corvus found a 7-sided Guinea
Callathan was playing cards with riverfolk and only one had money. Flamboyant clothing, scar on face - clean scar on the cheek; went outdoors after Callathan got a note

Vòh: part 1 - The compass that finds its direction

Fish people were searching our room at the Raven
Box was stolen and thus we had to find it
Masque were disguised as a Wasserman and ended up fighting in a park. The constabulary took us to the dungeons and after the trial an agreement was made with the Inquisition to release us
I am to report to an Inquisitor by the name of Father Langden at the church on the dealings of the Alchemist and to do so in a confession booth
The Lady of Pain is currently 1 block away from the Raven
Schöveld wants the box back and is holding the Alchemist's book hostage
In our attempt in getting the boxes back, the Wasserman's daughter was kidnapped by us and we were attacked by fiends
Copsy is a tutor of Classical Drogasian to the Wasserman's
My 1st report to the Inquisitor contains the following:
- Schönveld spoke with the Alchemist in the Raven
  - he wants he box back and is holding his book hostage
- Copsy is a tutor for Drogasian
- The Alchemist made the "bats" explode
- The rogue smells funny after the attack
- was displaying "magic" to a hostage of ours
Copsy was an "illusionist" that had a 1 time performance where we killerd him and retrieved the cube
We end up returning the cube to Lord Wasserman
We're on a search for a flower needed to make a potion help prevent the from turning into a fiend
- We find where the flower grows however we end up interrupting some cultists trying to perform a blood ritual
  - said cultists were near 5 pillars with the mark of (i think the Adversary?)
For the life of me I can't remember where we met Gregor Dustenheil. All I know is that he is bald
