2nd sesh


You found the key in Feld’s pocket

Yorick and Netsu had dinner with Sel
Sel was friends with Feld since childhood
Harvests have been poor, had to make cuts
Hasn’t had the funding to upgrade well
Cenn argued with Ferra and Colby in front of the town hall
Raziel stole the ledger and some debt notes
Mortar and pestle found in Sel’s desk
Sel’s ledger – starting 5 months ago, few funds are going towards town improvement; no raise for secretary
	3 months ago – bought statue in town, bunch of stuff for the town hall
	Overinflated funds, possible sign of treasurer going against mayor
Raziel had a vision of the mayor saying “WHERE’S MY MONEY, SEL”
	Made a gash on the body’s forehead
Sel noticed that his ledger and some funds were stolen, but covered it up from ace investigators Yorick and Netsu
Netsu goes to the tower to talk to Kent
	The harvest hasn’t been bad
Yorick finds a note in the liquor cabinet
	Starts 6 months ago, ends at 3 months
	Noting the same thing you saw in Sel’s ledger
	Raziel opens a note from the mayor asking Sel to meet in his office urgently
	The mayor might have dirt on Sel?
Yorick “”””fights”””” Cenn
Raziel meets with Sel and tries to blackmail him, the opposite happens
