Lord Sinclair, a highly respected Nobleman of Kandarin has been found murdered in his mansion. Despite the presence of a large number of guards all working hard to solve the crime, local law enforcement officers are totally baffled.
Can you use your razor sharp analytical mind to uncover the evidence and unmask the culprit?
Start Point:
Sinclair's Mansion, North of Seers Tower
To start:
Speak to any of the Guards on the property
Quest difficulty/length:
Novice/Short
Minimum requirements:
The keen mind of a detective
Members only:
Yes
Items needed:
Talk to a guard to find out whats going on. You learn that Lord Sinclair was murdered and they have no clue as to who or why. Go search for clues and evidence. My rundown may differ from who may be your murderer but you can figure it out the same, the murderer is random, not everyone will end up with the same one.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
Pick up the criminal dagger and you will see it is not sturdy enough to had killed Lord Sinclair. Now pick up the pungent pot and you will see he was drinking this before he died. When you investigate the smashed window you will see there is a piece of thread on there. When you investigate the guard dog's gate he will begin to bark loudly, so you figure it was not intruder but someone from inside that the dog knew. Heading back to house to search some more. I searched in each barrel of the sons and daughters and got their silver item. I also went to the gardners shed and searched the sacks and got a piece of flypaper to save time you can grab a total of 7 of them now.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
I headed to the gossip to learn about the family and so forth. He mentions about the Poison Salesmen by Seers bank made a huge sale to one of the members of the family. I went to talk to the salesmen. He tells you he sold a bottle to each of the sinclairs. I used the pungent pot on the salesmen to learn it had been his poison.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
I went back to the house and talked to Elizabeth, she said she used her poison on mosquitos. Next was Carol, she said she used it on the blocked drain outside. Anna was next, used it on the compost heap to kill off the wildlife in it. Talked to David next, he said he used it on a nest of spiders upstairs. Next was Frank, he used some to clean the family crest outside. Bob was last and he said he used his on the beehive in the garden.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
Now I went to investigate each thing the kids said they used there poison on. Fountain checks out. The drain has been cleaned and smells of poison too. The beehive checks out as well. The family crest is nicely polished and has a slight poison smell. Upstairs the spider nest checks out as well. The compost heap has not and is teeming with maggots. IT clearly was not dealt with as Anna said.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
Talk to a guard and tell them who did it. You prove it was not a servant by showing the thread. You tell them about Anna and the compost heap and he says you need more evidence.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
Go back to the gardners shed (if you didn't grab them earlier) and grab more fly paper for each item you got form the kids and one for the knife. 7 total needed. Now head to the kitchen and take flour form the flour barrel. Now use flour on the dagger, then use flypaper on the dagger to get the murders fingerprints. Now repeat process on each of the silver items you got from the kids barrels.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
Use the unknown fingerprint with each of the kids, for me carol did not match, bob did not match, David did not match, Elizabeth did not match, and Frank did not match. It only left Anna left, which is an exact match.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
Head and tell the guard your new evidence. You tell him your theory and then show the thread that matches Anna clothing and that she did not use her poison on the compost and then show the matching fingerprints. You hand over the evidence and get a reward from the family.
