Chapter 1: One of Our Students is Missing

[HoneyDog]

OOC, You can only roll for one skill! Choose which has the highest score.

Listening to Atwater, the investigators notice that he speaks with an archaic burr to his accent.

Soon, he stops moving, and appears to be sleeping.

Henry, Henry doesn't recall Atwater possessing any particular accent, especially like this. Atwater is from Boston, but does not have a dialect.

[Mr. Handy]

"I suppose that's all he's going to say," says Alice.

OOC, Was there a chart in the room?

[HoneyDog]

OOC, There doesn't appear to be one.

[Philulhu]

OOC, Did Bruce recognise the accent? Another English roll - just a straight success this time (75/95) - https://www.dholeshouse.org/Tools/DiceVerifier?RID=9cb2b426-7eb9-43ad-8344-2512a564aa00

[HoneyDog]

OOC, No, sorry.

[aine]

“Gosh, he sounds rather like our old gamekeeper; practically medieval he was. From Shropshire.” Says Fort.

[Silver Priest]

"He's never possessed any particular accent until now," Henry points out with a frown. "I suspect the trauma has done something to him, and he's in such a state it could be weeks before we learn anything more from him, if we ever do."

"One thought occurs to me; perhaps whatever happened was something other than lightning, though I have no idea at present what this could have been. It's difficult to make any conclusions based off two words, after all. I still think the best course of action is trying to determine if we can find any missing people that match up with the mystery man we found."

[Mr. Handy]

"Yes, he does seem to use archaic English," says Alice, "the sort you might see in documents from around the time of the Revolutionary War. Well, I think we've accomplished all we're going to here."

[SunlessNick]

"You said he didn't use that accent normally?" Emily asks Henry. "Maybe we should let him alone for now. Concentrate on finding out who the other one is."

[HoneyDog]

OOC, Shall we move on then?

[Philulhu]

OOC, Happy to move on.

[aine]

“Yes, let’s move on; this place gives me the willies.” Agrees Fort.

[Mr. Handy]

OOC, I'm ready to move on too.

[HoneyDog]

OOC, I'll move things on to the next day. I'll assume that everyone will meet at the hospital to try to see the man they found yesterday.

[SunlessNick]

Emily will call in at work again to explain where she is and that she's been "deputised." On a whim, she'll ask Mr Grewe if he knows of anyone else who's gone missing apart from the Atwater and Cardigan. Then she'll meet the others at the hospital.

[Silver Priest]

Henry spends a few hours at the library going over recent newspapers to see if anyone matched the description of the unknown man they had found.
