Greetings, Samurai! Prepare yourselves for a high-stakes race against the clock. The shadows are lengthening in Rokugan, and only the sharpest minds will prevail. Here is how our fast-paced investigation will unfold:

The Master Plan: Five Hours of Mystery

We are diving into a high-octane Play-by-Post adventure where every minute counts! We have a strict five-hour window to solve the crime:

• The Set-Up (~1.5 Hours): We’ll set the stage, establish the atmosphere, and dive deep into the scene.
• The Hunt (~2.5 Hours): This is your time to shine! Scour the area, interrogate suspects, and unmask the culprit before they slip away.
• The Aftermath (~1 Hour): We wrap up the narrative and see how your actions have reshaped the Emerald Empire.

Your Toolkit: Skills & Strategy

To navigate this, you’ll need to rely on your training. Depending on your approach, you may need to call upon:

• Sentiment: To read the unspoken heart.
• Skulduggery: To spot the tracks of the dishonorable.
• Commerce: To follow the coin and the greed behind it.
• Government: To leverage the weight of Imperial law.
