It is a dark night at the world of Shinobi Legends, as a people from many countries are invited by a mysterious "Benefactor" to spend a night at his castle. Nobody knows who this Benefactor is, aside from the fact that he is totally loaded, wears a mask, has a deep and resonant voice, and is probably a vampire. Obvious villain character aside, the hundred or so guests happily ignored the evil in their midst and drank their wine, chugged their beer, wore their lampshades and partied like it was at Oliver's yacht party.....
Until a piercing scream echoed throughout the castle. The music died immediately and a single scream of "murder!" whipped the crowd into a frenzy. The party was over. You and several other's manage to track the scream and run to the second floor reading room. You gasp at the sight before you.
Face down and bleeding into the carpet is the body of Shikkifujin. You find two others surrounding the lifeless hero's body, One is Hiro, in a fetal postion in a corner of the room, looking absolutely mortified. The other is Gaara, calm and composed and smoking a fancy 1930's cigarette, seemingly without a care in the world.
Nobody speaks for a long time, but you eventually snap out of it and decide to do something. After all...Shikki has just been murdered!!! (:O)
Here are your options:
1. Inspect the corpse
2. Survey the surroundings
3. Question the two witnesses/suspects
4. Scream and run around like a headless chicken
