We resumed the investigation into Albert Krause’s death after a brief recap and a flashback to a dream that Daisy had about a bridge between two Brindlewood Bays and dead fish saying the word “Void”.
Daisy and Rosemary were visited by Emily Krause as expected but also her annoying brother David (dressed rather improbably in the hind legs of a pantomime horse and a shirt designed to look like it was made of straw).
The Mavens spotted the David was carrying a concealed gun and that Emily was engaged in an intimate text conversation with an illicit lover. Daisy was also convinced that one of Emily’s Pokémon tattoos had evolved into another one.
Meanwhile Margaret and Laura headed to the yacht using the ploy of delivering some sympathy flowers from the townspeople. This seemed to work and a number of clues were discovered from snooping and talking to Alison Krause (Albert’s wife) before the butler became suspicious and politely asked them to leave.
The Maven all met up and compared notes. The clues all pointed to David being the culprit - Albert had discovered he was involved in an art scam and had died following a confrontation.
Then they gathered the suspects at the fish market. David tried to escape but fell into a fish cart and was promptly arrested.
Afterwards they had a rather strange encounter with the yacht captain who said his family had been living in Brindlewood Bay for many years and gave the Mavens a warning (threat?) that people in Brindlewood keep dying or mysteriously disappearing…
GM notes: the players seemed to want to track down every clue imaginable so I had to encourage them to Theorise. I struggled a bit this week with role playing all the suspects but we seemed to muddle through.
We’re going to play Starfinder next week but the Mavens are likely to return…
