Albie Moore is still reluctant to allow all of you into the rooms, but Shannon places her hand on his arm, and he softens immediately.

"Shawn, just let them see for themselves. We all want to solve this."

He relents. "Very well then. Nothing's been disturbed except for moving the body for autopsy, so they can search away. But Seamus did it, mark my words, and no one is going to convince me otherwise!"

He goes back to cracking ice but Shannon tuens to you happily. "There! I knew if I called him by his middle name and made it cozy, he'd let you in! Come on, I'l take you up!"

[OOC: You may now search BOTH the murder site and the Boyle's room for clues. Each team has a dozen hints available, so you may now ask questions by smail. You have until Sunday,May 12th, at 11:59 pm Subeta time to send thoise to me. Please DON'T ask me to solve the mystery for you. I will gladly give you clues but the whole point of Nutsy is for you to solve it, whioh you should be able to so if you ask the right questions.)

Gratefully, quietly follows Shannon, tiptoeing in the murder room then Boyle's to look around for clues. They whisper softly to each other proceeding to hastily write notes of all they see. After quite a length of time they are finally done, giving Albie (or Shawn) if he glances their way and Shannon who smiles winningly a nod, a couple of waves, and maybe an occasional smile. Once out of the rooms the team meet at a large table in a nearby pub to discuss their findings.

(( go to SL team! :) ))

nervously bites fingers Go to our private group area and let's try to figure out the right questions. I always get a slight panic about this part. Haha!

, to clarify, we can ask 10 questions about objects in the room(s)? I'm guessing this is our "bonus clues" total that we have or we can pull out some of those to ask with as well?

You actually have 12 questions, and, yes: objects, furnishings, whatever.

Thanks! We will see what the Pepperettes come up with. :) :)

um one more question about the questions.

So we need to ask specific things like: are there finger prints on the window that don't belong to x Y or z?

Not: "can we examine the cup on the table? ", right? I'm trying to remember former nutsy's and I don't remember how we did this part or if it's the same as previous times which will help us formulate our "questions".

Suddenly an idea, or answer comes to some of their questions and they stare in wonder at the table before ordering more food.

(( Look at SL for some answers ))

You should all have answers to your questions by now. If you asked something that was irrelevant or not allowable because it made me give you the answers, I refunded your clues. You should have a total of how many clues you have remaining. You should also, if you asked some good ones, know quite a bit about the mystery. However, you should also be "just a touch short" of everything you need for a conclusion.

So, go downstairs. There you will find these locations: The front desk, the service area, and Mack's workshop/room. You may interrogate Mack, Shannon, and Albie. If you are clever, you should be able to fill in the pieces you need. However, you may only use the clues you still have available, plus a "Free Three" option, I'll give you now. You have until Sunday, May 19th, at 11:59 pm Subeta time to smail your new questions to me.

Good luck and all questions welcome.

, needed in SL!

oh goodness. This is super helpful AND also really freaking me out. I feel like we have a direction but so much left to ask. Are we allowed to still look at the rooms or is that chance "gone".

Sure you can, but the answers you need are probably downstairs.

Okay. Thank you. That's what we are leaning towards. head the private forum and let's get some brainstorms going. :)

... help in SL? https://www.subetalodge.org/forums/index.php?topic=5656.msg45063#msg45063

You all have the answers to your questions back by now, and you should have formulated your theories on what happened. However, you may have a few lingering doubts, so I will give each team three final clues to spend only on the person(s) you think might be guilty. Along with that, here's a few "bonus facts" for you:

1. One of the Boyles did leave the room during the night, but why?
2. Shannon is NOT the murderer. She is guilty of nothing but being lovely and too attractive to the opposite sex.
3. The murderer did use the vents, but not from the Boyle's rooms.

Each team asked at least one very vital question in figuring out the culprit, so you may consult with another team if you wish, but you will then share the credit with that team if you win.

Tentatively, you will all able to present your RP solution to the mystery (dressed in finest hotel dining apparel) on Sunday, June 1st, by 11:59 PM Subeta time.

The Squirrel's Bounty will continue to be stocked with prizes all this week, so you may window shop.

Good luck and Happy Sleuthing

.. need your answer and roleplay, in SL thanks! https://www.subetalodge.org/forums/index.php?topic=5664.0

Way to go teams!

Thank you. This is all very helpful. Will get my active teammates to brainstorm with me. I feel like we have a theory, but we are lacking the why. That's the hard part!

OH my, this has been so hard and tricky -- the trickiest one yet! :)

Random hint for today: All of the Boyles know how to use firearms (sometimes not wisely,) but none of them climbed in or out of a vent.

.. we have a hint :)
