Inhale.
“Martyn Kaver entered Granitehill on the third of Gozran. I was unaware of the reason for his visit at the time, but I quickly became aware of the reason. Understanding his reason as a business opportunity, I negotiated a private meeting at night on the hill to the east of the town. We had this meeting successfully and planned on discussing the exacts at breakfast the next day. I did not directly accompany him on my way back to the temple, and did not see him the next morning.”
He focuses his gaze in the direction of the magistrate.
“With the aid of divination, I found his body at the creek the next morning after he was announced to have been missing.”
He scans the room.
“I, in addition to Drakor, Canary, Arius, and Lionel, engaged in an investigation after the fact. We found that the body had been dumped into the creek from upstream. Upon going to the hill east of town, we discovered three sets of footprints, a scrap of clothing, and telltale signs that the initial crime had been committed at that location. The two known sets at the time belonged to myself and Martyn Kaver.”
He scratches his neck.
“We went to a local shop that we believed would have sold the clothing. The shopkeeper narrowed down who purchased the item in question to three people, of which included Kamilla. Upon consideration, we decided to head to the smithy first, though I had decided to gather some of the militia for assistance in case a conflict broke out. Conflict did indeed break out, as hostilities broke out with Sten who was attempting to buy time for Kamilla.”
His eyes dart.
“Upon resolving that situation, we exited and began tracking Kamilla, who had run away in the meantime. A comparison of Kamilla’s tracks to the tracks we saw at the hill proved to be a direct match. Myself, Drakor, Canary, and Lionel successfully tracked Kamilla, who had taken a horse, and were able to capture her. We learned of her circumstances.”
He gives a slight nod.
“I believe that is all of the relevant events.”
