[DatHoser]

Awright, was the fortune teller in cahoots with the wife over insurance money from the guy?

 

This doggone thing is addicting!

[Fatter than Joey]

Was the fortune teller having an affair with the deceased?

[Menotti80]

no, and no:

 

things left to figure out: a motive for the murderer (a relationship to the dead guy). exactly how the guy dies.

 

 

note: this is the last one of these that are super involved. i have a bunch more of these that are shorter and probably better games to play in this setting

[Fatter than Joey]

was the fortune teller a dude?

[Menotti80]

yes joey

[TracyThom]

Grrrrr. This is getting frustrating.

 

Let's get this out of the way...

 

The person whom the fortune teller knows... Is it the victim's:

 

daughter?

wife?

son?

sibling?

parents?

coworker?

neighbor?

 

 

-Is the fortune teller stalking that person?

 

-Does that person share the same feelings towards the fortune teller as he/she does with them?

 

-Was the fortune teller working alone?

 

-Is the victim's occupation important?

 

Reference the bridge...

 

-Did the fortune teller or someone working with the fortune teller, tamper with the bridge?

 

-Was the bridge open for vehicular traffic when the accident occurred?

 

-Was the bridge specifically for pedestrians and bicycles?

 

-Did the bridge collapse?

 

-Does this bridge open and close for large boats passing underneath?

[Menotti80]

The person whom the fortune teller knows... Is it the victim's:

wife? no, yes

son? no, no

sibling? no, no

parents? no, no

coworker? no, no

neighbor? no, no

Would Ned Yost be good at interpreting Tarot Cards?

[DougJones43]

Was the victim having an affair with the fortune teller's wife?

Did the victim harm the fortune teller's wife in some manner?

 

Was the bridge rigged with some type of explosives?

 

Did the victim know they had received the 'death card'?

 

Did the victim die from:

Blunt bodily trauma?

Fire/smoke?

Electrical shock?

[TracyThom]

So, the victim is having an affair with the fortune teller's wife. The victim goes to get his fortune told, and he receives the death card. The fortune teller draws him a map to a location where the hex can be reversed. Unbeknownst to our victim, the fortune teller rigged a bridge with explosives and blows up the bridge as the victim drives over it.

 

Close?

[Menotti80]

Was the victim having an affair with the fortune teller's wife? yes

Did the victim harm the fortune teller's wife in some manner? no

Was the bridge rigged with some type of explosives? rigged - yes; with explosives? not important

Did the victim know they had received the 'death card'? yes

Did the victim die from:

Blunt bodily trauma? probably

Fire/smoke? no

Electrical shock? no

 

So, the victim is having an affair with the fortune teller's wife. The victim goes to get his fortune told, and he receives the death card. The fortune teller draws him a map to a location where the hex can be reversed. Unbeknownst to our victim, the fortune teller rigged a bridge with explosives and blows up the bridge as the victim drives over it.

Close? i would say it's close enough. lol

 

the victim goes to get his fortune told. during their session, the fortune teller realizes this is the man his wife has been having an affair with. the fortune teller gives the man the death card and draws a map for the man to go and get the fortune reversed. the fortune teller knows a shoretcut, where he drives there and riggs the bridge in some manner (explosives are possible, but not as likely). the man drives on the bridge, where it fails and he plunges to his death.
