The Raven's Ball Murder Mystery

In the parlor, you find Elmira Ellet, pacing with a visible frustration that contrasts with the calm demeanor of the other guests. She’s tall, striking, and her intense gaze meets yours as she stops mid-stride, clutching a coin purse in her hand.

You ask about her whereabouts and what she knows.

"What a mess this is," she mutters before turning to face you fully. "I didn’t want anything to do with Virginia; she’s nothing to me. But I’m no murderer. You’ll find nothing to tie me to her death." You ask Elmira what they were arguing about. Here, Elmira ruefully laughs and says "that's my own business, but if you must know, she was accusing me of indiscretions with her husband. She's always been jealous of me. It wasn't long after that, she began having another coughing fit and she just fell from her seat at the piano. Then I ran and alerted the Stableman, Peter."

She thrusts the two coins into your hand.

"There is more at work here than your natural senses understand. Use these at the blackjack table. If you're lucky, the dark arts will reveal what you’re looking for. But if you want my opinion? Talk to Doctor Blackwell. I saw her and Virginia arguing earlier. After that, Blackwell stormed off, headed toward the cemetery as if she were going to open the gates of hell herself."

With her parting words, you begin to wonder if Elmira knows more than she’s letting on.

But, still, a lead is a lead. You take the coins and head over to the blackjack table. You sit down, put down a coin, and the dealer nods at you, then deals you in.
