Timeline Summary

Backstory

On 6 July 2322, the first day of the Black Rock Tournament of 2322, the tournament committee voted 3-2 to allow Titania to kill Esteban Zapatero during their match. On the second day of Main Bracket battles, the 9th, a committee member known as Mr. Milton was killed in the committee booth, and his body was tossed into the middle of the stadium.


Quest 1

On the evening of the 9th, a group consisting mostly of tournament participants investigates Mr. Milton's death. After speaking with police and obtaining Multipasses, they inspect the body. After learning of the current prime suspects (Announcer Bill Skyes, committee member Tom Elwood, and judge Jacob Wallace), they question Bill Skyes. Skyes turns himself over to security for questioning as a suspect.


Quest 2

On the 11th, as the second division matches continue, the investigation group interrogates Elwood, learning that Milton had approached him about changing the tournament, using it to recruit people for an undisclosed group. They head to Elwood's hotel room and are nearly blown up by an assassin (Mike). They manage to bring him down and take him into custody.


Quest 3

On the 14th, after the end of the tournament, Martin Summer, the third committee member to have voted to allow the kill on the first day, is discovered to have called in the attack on Elwood's hotel room. He talks for a bit about a mysterious and powerful organization before he falls apart into bloody chunks. NPC Aaron arrives and explains that there are two mysterious organizations: One which had Milton killed, and the other which Milton was a part of, trying to use the tournament for recruitment.


Notes

  • At the end of the Free RP Leading on a Wendigo in 2013, Aaron explained his plans for the incomplete plot threads of the Black Rock Murder saga.
    • It was revealed that there were actually two killers in this saga. The one who actually killed Milton was NPC Aaron, working for one of the two organizations, while Summer was killed by Michael, working for the other organization. He also noted that the two organizations were connected to the events of Mineshaft Madness.
    • The following (now non-canon unless otherwise used, as Aaron scrapped it) information was also revealed: There was a war in New Epic between Heaven and Hell. Heaven made two titans, Ghu'Riv and Vha'Jar, to sort things out. After this job was done, Ghu'Riv broke himself down to become the Gurivians, and Vha'Jar did the same to become a race known as the Vaharians. These two were in some way linked to the two organizations.
  • First appearance of Chief Merton. Only appearances of Tom Elwood and Martin Summer.
