You have loads of proof, and no one likes Brandt anyway.

He only got where he is because of the influence of the Graf's late wife.

Also:

Quote from: Klaus

I thought the Captain of the guard already briefed you on our discoveries

When, Klaus? All he did was arrange the meeting.

Anyway, they want to hear it from the players! This is important.

Julian never knows what to say!

Low fellowship stat?

None of the items they took to the High Wizardy person seemed very chaotic.

There is the letters though and the diary. They are incriminating enough.

Now if Brandt is smart he will simply claim that they were forged, deny knowing the writers and be annoyed that a person of his position would be attacked by such dangerous slander.

Which is why we should simply murder him and be done with it. WE know he is guilty, that is enough for Heinrich to act as executioner.

Megapost!

CliffNotes Version:

How Admund and party investiaged Brandt and Windhund over past few days.
Documents from Brandt's safe indicate that he is a naughty, naughty boy.
Brandt has been working with members of the Purple Hand Cult and is involved with Jade Sceptor Cult
Gotthard Brandt is actually Gothard Wittgenstein
Dieter was hypnotised, by a woman named Elise whom we are currently investigating to see if she is connected with Brandt or Purple Hand
We think Brandt should be arrested immediately
Would like permission to continue investigating Elise and Cassilida to see if they are connected to Brandt too.

Law and Order was on TV while I was typing this, so it may come off a bit lawyer-like. Brandt is an important figure, and this is the culmination of several game days worth of investigating and dice rolling. I figured it would be better to be detailed and thorough with the Marshals.

Julian, you could speak up and discuss the labs in the dwarf tunnels, since they were run by Wolfgang, whom the letters confirm was working with Brandt.

It might be interesting to see if Mortus can use her contact with Brandt and lie her way into the cult. Of course in order to do that she would need to meet the rest of the party and convince them to leave off Brandt for a while.

Something that is quite unlikely given Klaus' sudden distrust and Heinrich's murderous intent.

Amazing post, Karl! Well done!

Only if she likes depraved sex orgies.

If Klaus sees Mortus with Brandt he will kill her.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #8232 on:** October 23, 2013, 10:57:44 AM »

Drama!

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #8233 on:** October 23, 2013, 11:12:57 AM »

She must be a traitor meeting with Brandt to warn him.

Blackpenny between her smiling eyes.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #8234 on:** October 23, 2013, 11:45:43 AM »

Probably it won't come to that.

Is Julian going to say anything, or should I just assume it?

going to edit it though!

That's OK, it will be a while before I respond anyway.

the marshal’s have been quite responsive to us, haven’t they? Already know we’re looking.

Yep. They strongly dislike the taxes, but also want to keep the military out of political matters. They're pretty much the only people that I trust in Middenhiem.

dwarf plus marshal coup time!

maybe.

or not.

I would believe Mortus is a shapechanger.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #8246 on:** October 24, 2013, 09:55:00 AM »

It would explain a lot.

Also: Admund didn't explicitly mention Brandt's connection to the Graf's late wife, but since it's there in the letters and journal, the marshals are going to know about it.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #8247 on:** October 24, 2013, 09:59:40 AM »

Yes that was something I was worried about but....well lets just dash ahead.

Oh dear...the Law Lords ....of whom at least one might be under the sway of the enemy. Also impressive how loyal and righteous the Marshalls are. I already feared they too would be just after the power which now easily is within their grasp.

There are good people in the Empire ...who would have thought.

I meant to but I felt my post was turning into a novella. I should have added a line about that when Admund mentioned connections with Wolfgang, Elise, and Sparsam.

Graf Todbringer needs to stop marrying sexy cultists.

Good posts, Admund and Klaus!

Will respond tomorrow.

What if he doesn't marry them? Is it OK then?
