Subject: Body
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I assume the latest rumour with the body washed up in the river was your
doing? If not then i apologise, and just forget about what i am about to say.
I thought i would have had more time to act to the Dark Mage but apparently
he moves much faster than i gave him credit for. (Which reminds me, how is it
possible that the girl went missing on August 18th even though RL that was
only two days ago? and now it is the middle of December). My character will
head straight away to the scene of the body and investigate, looking for any
signs of magic, and using his medical skills to determine exactly what killed
him. If there are any signs whatsoever that it was the Dark Mage that killed
him, i will warn you i am going to go hunting after this Dark Mage, and
should this prove impossible then i will do a large and spectaular magic
effect designed to draw the mage to me. However foolish such an action migh
appear, my character can not with good conceneiss allow this abomination to
continue. Anyway, i guess you would like to RP all of this but i thought i
would give you the heads-up. Of course, if you would prefer to just send me a
+mail with some information, on what i uncover during my invesigation of the
body i will be greateful. However that is fairly unlikley and failing that, i
look forward to seeing you soon, and putting this evil beast in the ground
once and for all. Thanks again. Ali

You manage to get to where the body is before the people decide what to do
with it, and can get some investigations in.
He was a big guy. It's hard to tell what condition his clothes were in before
he was dropped in the river; his outfit looks a little the worse for wear
afters. He had big boots, workman's hands, and a somewhat scraggly-looking
beard.
Cause of death is probably the fact that his throat was cut; you think his
wrists were slit before the throat was cut, but it's hard to tell; someone
may just have wanted to be really thorough on making sure this guy was dead.
You're not sure if he was dead before he was dumped in the river either, and
besides, the water washed away most of the blood.
Magically: You really wish you had the time sphere, because the guy's skin is
a bit shrunken, like it was a lot older than the rest of him. He looks maybe
thirty, but his cheeks have hollowed out in a way that doesn't look natural,
and can't have been how he looked when he was alive. Your magical scans of
the guy pick up the dissolving remnants of a magical aura on him: a sick,
twisted and above all else, familiar feeling: apparently someone else wanted
to hunt down this guy as badly as you did, and knew where to find him.
You can detect other magical residues on him with prime, but you don't have
the spheres to get any more information from them. They could be the last
bits of quintessence from whatever node he had access to; whatever they are,
they're fading faster than the sense of the guy himself did.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for your detailed message, I will warn you that since there is
clearly linked with the Dark Mage, i intend to go hunting for him. I intended
to discuss how with Ash (since he is the Mage Admin) however if you would
like to hear my suggestions about how to get my hands on the guy (Or how i
intend i bring him to me) then just give me a buzz.

Subject: Extra
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just a little extra, for my past message. There was just a small amount of
your mail that i did not totally understand. As regards the sense of
similarity do you think you could clarify exactly what you meant by that? I
quote "apparently someone else wanted to hunt down this guy as badly as you
did, and knew where to find him". It is probably just me being dense, but i
would be grateful if you could explain if by "this guy" you are referring to
the body i am currently invesigating or the Dark Mage that i now wish to hunt
down or destory. Also i would just like to check the body to ensure their are
no signs that the man had been attacked by animals. Thanks again

Thanks for that clarification. Sorry, it was me being dense and after
re-reading your message it is now clear to me what you meant. However i am
unhappy that someone has taken care of what my character has come to think of
as his personal crusade, of course it is better that someone would take care
of this fiend before he gets a chance to strike again although i would very
much like to know who killed him and will research in the public libary and
in Dannon's personal libary (Which i am lucky enough to have access to) and
will compile a list of possible suspects, then consider the way that he was
killed with a knife and see if that leads me to any other possible
conclusions/
