Mystery Introduction:

Wind blows the front door open and a cold blast of air blows out all of the candles. The door slams shut, but the entire bar area of the inn is dark. You hear a snap and some movement… but then someone finds some matches and begins relighting the candles. When the bar is illuminated, everyone sees it at once. There is the body of another patron, a champion for the next tournament. It looks like his neck was snapped, but whoever did it spilled their alcoholic beverage. There is a sticky puddle next to the corpse, and it definitely was not the victim’s.
