[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9065458, member: 27385"] [B]Demarius[/B], who is one of the priests of Secrets and part leader of the thieves guild is behind the assassination. However, it is a ploy and the heir is alive and body double was used under illusion magic. Few know all the secrets of the Implication and Demarius was able to swap the heir and the double during the festival. The double is not dead, but found drugged like Snow White or Sleeping Beauty. A warehouse in the market district loads jars of olive oil destined for Chathus in which the drugged body of the heir is hidden. The necromancer [B]Carrion [/B]needs the body to perform a ritual that will make the heir a basic zombie under his control. The merchant does not reach Chathus but instead the wagons are attacked by raiders in the neutral zone. Now there is a missing body neither side know where it is. The Spymaster for the King gets word from the gate soldiers that wagons left to the south and one paid the bribe to leave uninspected. The goods have been tracked back to the warehouse and a cleric of Contracts divined that an Implication gate was recently used in this area, I'm picturing something like in that Jumper movie where Samuel Jackson played a paladin tracker. This leads to a third party hiring the PCs to investigate the neutral zone and find out what is going on. [/QUOTE]
