un: Ganymede - Mithrun's case

...What does have everyone have now?

It's been more than two days now since what happened.

Whatever everyone has been finding out, we should put it together, or something like that. Even as new information comes in.

As for me, I took a look at the bloody trail of footprints, which I confirmed to be Mithrun's. He didn't seem to be in any much of a rush, like he wasn't paying much mind or attention to where he was going either.

The trail of blood was only a mess due to the amount of traffic, as it is, without adding to any more prints as NPCs don't leave footprints.

Anyone else have anything more?

[Augh. Auuuugh. Trying to figure out the most important information in order ]

- neck injury wasn't deep enough to kill. It did not come from a player's weapon or spell. Or any crafting tools

- he has these weird circular bruises that are red around the edge like he was blasted by something?

- his mouth and tongue were really swollen too

[ do not ask why Sinclair was ok with getting up close and personal with his friend's dead body just don't. ]

[Buddy??????]

1. Did it look off in some way?

3. Like an allergic reaction?

1. I can't tell.

3. No, not like an allergic reaction. But I'm having a hard time thinking of any spells or monsters that could cause those bruises.

...Would it have something to do with that thorn that was found in his mouth, you think?

Edited 2023-09-06 21:42 (UTC)

Could it? It was a small one, caught between his teeth.

Maybe. Since it was found inside...even if caught right there.

It might. But he also had red eyes and broken blood vessels there. He also had a runny nose.

There are some dungeons that make us sick after, but they're not always visible.

Could I add my findings under yours, Vogel-kun?

yes. of course.

[ ... ... ... ]

Thank you.

I already mentioned some of it in earlier comments, but... here is the rest.

1) His face was slick with perspiration. His avatar's SP was not empty, but it wasn't full, which suggests he fought back.

2) The shallow lacerations on his arms are located on the underside of both arms. The wounds look similar to what one of my spells, MeJuk Kruz, can do. Close, but not quite it.

3) The broad burn across his left exposed shoulder wraps around from the front of his shoulder to the back of it. But there are no actual burns on his back. Only his shoulder seems to have taken the brunt of whatever spell or attack hit him. Something more targeted than a GiVak Don, but still, it seems too narrow for what a level 50 or even 25 spell should do.

Please don't ask me any questions. That's all I know. You're all free to discuss amongst yourselves, of course.

[ He's not going to derail the consideration of evidence, but this might actually take first place on "inadvisable things Sinclair did because of this". ]

Message me if you need to run a dungeon later.

[ That would go for Hani too, but he doesn't know if they take refuge in dungeon grinding like Sinclair... ]

thank you

[Not derailing either but making it clear he appreciates it. he'll take Winter up on his offer]

[now that he's been to the dungeon instance and looked at the bestiary:]

headhunters were in the dungeon

maybe that could have hit his neck

Yeah, you're probably right. he must have dodged it.

it doesn't explain the small circular bruises though.

what is an override anyway? I've never seen that before

Edited 2023-09-08 20:40 (UTC)

I don't know about the bruises. It doesn't really match anything I saw.

Someone allowed us in where we shouldn't I guess? It looks like the dungeon shouldn't load at the gate but it still does.

How did Mithrun get in, though?

that's a good question

I've been at the randomiser trying to get "errand" as a keyword but it hasn't been showing up for me yet

did someone send it to him?

it wouldnt be the first time we got something shady sent to our inbox

Ganymede, Swallow and I got Δ Hidden Forbidden Radiation from an anonymous sender, and then Michel and I got Θ Hidden Forbidden Dragonbein.

the first one made me sick, but the last one didn't do anything but make me feel like we had to run away or else

this one doesn't seem like a hidden area like the others

[Also, upon checking spreadsheets again]

oh he documented this one

yeah
what if its from the mystery sender again though
but the keywords are kinda
...
i feel like its mocking me
i dont like it

its from the same user that gave us the titles

and mithrun seemed to think they might be responsible for the level cap armor and the mirrors

[ don't ask how he knows this]

"recursive fool's errand"
...yeah i hate it too. it was like it was sent to make fun of him
