Lang eyed the vials suspiciously but focused instead on the journal and leafed through its pages.

Florence jumps at the sound of the item hitting Otto's head. "Oh dear!" she yelps. She looks him over from a distance and seeing clearly he's okay adds, "Do be careful, Mr. Schmidt, we wouldn't want more tragedy on our hands today."

She moves to the side of the bed and takes a look at the shoes. Remembering all manner of things she's found under beds when tenants leave, it dawns on her to look under the bed for anything of interest.

Perry flinches at the thunk of the jar on Otto's head, then again at the sound of it shattering. "I don't think the police will be happy with us," he mutters under his breath. Glad I didn't check the cabinets.

He glances under the armchair next to him; if there's nothing there, he'll go to examine the window, and see if maybe a murderer could have escaped that way.

Florence gets on her knees and looks under the bed. There doesn’t appear to be anything there but as she pulls the shoes, she finds a single key on a ring inside one of them. It appears to be the right size for the box.

Finding nothing on the chair, Perry steps past the body toward the window.
OOC:
Spot hidden roll as he glances at the corpse.

Otto examines the Table and two wooden chairs: the table can accommodate two people. There is a place setting in front of one chair, but otherwise, the table is bare.

Not heeding her earlier commands at all as curiosity gets the better of her, Florence sits on the bed and inserts the key into the box, turning it to see if she can discover what's inside.

Sam approaches Florence, intrigued, seeing as she is manipulating a box.

Perry glances at the corpse.

Lang nodded in thanks to Seagal then began to read.

"Dreamlands?" he muttered.
OOC:
Would an Occult roll be appropriate here? Dream Interpretation?

Perry notices Across the back of Gardiner’s hands, on his legs and arms, areole scars on spiral shapes. The same shapes don’t appear on his face or head.
OOC:

If you want to look more closely, you could make a first aid roll. Otherwise you. An continue to the window.

OOC:
You can make an occult roll after a full skim of the book.

Florence opens the box as Sam peers over her shoulder. It contains $128, a sewing kit, and grooming items
OOC:

$128 is enough to cover the $15 room-and-half-board for eight months.

OOC:
That puts us back round to Otto again
May 30, 2022 11:02 pm
Florence shakes her head and puts the items back in the box, locking it and placing it back on the shelf. "He had enough money to pay for this room for many more months. He wouldn't have had that on hand if he planned to take his life, would he?" she asks the others. She shakes her head in grief and takes a seat on the bed.

OOC:
No specific action from Otto.
"So what was he doing here?" Schmidt says, gesturing to the body as the others fuss with books and keys and boxes. Looking at Lang, who'd said he'd shared books with the dead man, he continues, "Is this some sort of devil worship?"

Sam takes good note of presence of cash in the box. His attention is more and more focused on the case at hand though. He goes back to the nightstand and takes a good look at the so-called dictionary lying there.

The body catches Perry's eye, and he squats down to examine it closer. "What in the world could have caused these?" he says softly to himself.

Would you like to use luck or push to roll again at risk?
