WEEK 3 - TRIAL

[productions]

week three trial



[At 9 AM precisely, the old grandfather clock chimes once again, and the doors to the drawing room are opened. They will remain open until everyone has come inside, after which they will shut behind them. It is not possible to leave on your own, although perhaps if you have a specific purpose the hostess will allow you to go, as long as you are accompanied by a partner.

The room is set up comfortably, with several tables by the fireplace set out to assist with the trial. The Hostess will also remain in a seat near the fireplace, next to the scales on the mantle. At lunch, the doors will open to bring in a large meal on an automatically rolling buffet, and at 3 PM, tea and finger sandwiches will be served. You'll be able to enjoy the trial in comfort, of course, but the information cards set out on tables will not allow you to forget your true purpose here.

At 7 PM, the trial will adjourn for the day. Players will be escorted by the Hostess to the ballroom, where dinner and wine will be served until 10 PM, at which point players will be required to return to their wings in groups with their wingmates and will be locked in their bedrooms until 8:30 AM the following morning.]

Let's say he was stabbed after being knocked into the elevator shaft... There aren't many ways to end up down there, you know?

He would have had to been knocked down from one of the other floors and then the killer would have to run all the way down to the basement to finish the job. Or they would have had to fight in the basement and push him in from there.

Depending on how the fall went and the time it happened, it could be possible. If it was late enough for most people to be asleep and no one heard the fall, then the victim would have had no way to escape. The culprit could come down to the basement, open the doors, and finish the job.

Unless he fell unconscious... that would mean he waited in the elevator until the killer came to finish him, doesn't it?

( That is. Really grim. How old was Dave? He was one of the younger ones in the manor, wasn't he? )

It seems plausible. The audience likes gruesome murders, which means the game runners probably set it up that way to ensure it's being watched. They have to top last week somehow.
