The newspaper title translates as "stone face"; it is not related to KostyaN, who was long nagged about his poker signature. Originally, the name 'Peut-être toi' was planned, which translates as "maybe you," but it was later replaced; these words were a hint that the mafia used an additional clue, and therefore anyone could be suspected.[/COLOR]
...But same darkest of all was
Gur...
A hint that Gur was checked by a blind nun; after all, the headache caused by her ability irritated him greatly[/COLOR]
...an open coffin made of hastily assembled boards...
The coffin was poor - a hint at the peasant role[/COLOR]
...My children! The apocalypse is coming!
HoM[M]ie fell victim to the Beast! Save your souls!...
A mafia clue; Ta Kotoraya... went for the kill, and the number of the Beast could be seen in her registration date: 06.04.2006 => 6 (2+4) 6 => 666 [/COLOR]
...
HoM[M]ie was found in his hut, the carotid artery had been neatly slit, blood fountained from it, watering the wooden floor and gradually growing into a crimson river, and then into a whole bloody ocean...
Ta kotoraya... is the head of the "Out of many, one" clan; the name became an allegory in the description of the murder: first there was a stream that merged into a river, and from it an ocean, and an ocean consists of many such rivers, therefore, it is one out of many. [/COLOR]
And again an allegory: 5 coins on a wooden table; if you put two "moments" together, you get: 5 wooden ones, and rubles are called wooden. Now let's look at the previously used banknotes with a denomination of 5 rubles: Ta Kotoraya...'s hometown is depicted, as well as 2 landmarks: St. Sophia Cathedral and the Millennium of Russia Monument[/COLOR]
...the priest passionately finished his pompous speech, marking the sale of indulgences;
WhiteLizard'y was the first to apply for one...
Tonight a dancer visited Lizard, with whom he entertained himself, but at the same time a ranger arrived; fearing that it was his wife or her mercenary, he first ran to buy off his sins, fearing a premature end at the hands of a jealous spouse.[/COLOR]
...a rumor flew in waves about a strange shadow that visited
Zybr's house...
This shadow is an undead, who turned the witch into MD[/COLOR]
...as well as about a sectarian's attack on
Arandor...
On the first day, Areg's role was revealed; specifically, the blind nun's 50% protection worked against an attack from the priest [/COLOR]
...the night brought misfortune to
Wishmaster, who feels crumpled like shagreen leather, at least that could be read from his appearance....
Visha was visited by a healer, who deprived him of ND for the next night, and the effect of incorrect treatment was very well reflected in the priest's appearance[/COLOR]
II
Cendres De Lune
The title translates as Moon Ashes, referring to the night fires that happened to occur in the village that night. There was no connection to April 1st, although it was found)[/COLOR]
...A straw-roofed shack quickly turned into a torch, burying
Gur alive...
Hint at the role of the deceased: he was a peasant[/COLOR]
...The noise behind her brought thoughts of a criminal...
MD was watching[/COLOR]
...noticed a strange cobblestone on which many symbols were carved. The symbols were charcoal-like, and how they were carved remained a mystery; it felt as if it had been brought from distant lands...
The symbols were runic, which is why they were charcoal-like: not related to Spanish or Japanese, simply pointed to the role - northern priest.[/COLOR]
..."Fear! The Devil's Apprentice was here! The Devil's Apprentice! Protect yourselves - buy the relics of Saint Berber!"...
The demon in the person of Major Vikhr destroyed the priest, as well as a random victim - Gur. Clue: "The Devil's Apprentice was here," since the work "The Devil's Apprentice" belongs to Bernard Shaw, whose quote is hidden in the signature. However, there was another small hint in the description; Rift found the translation of Mylene Farmer's song from the same compilation les mots, namely, the phrase: "lips give birth to a dead man," and the word for dead man sounds like the word for words in French, i.e., a hint that one should watch the inquisitor's speech. Berber is a fictional name, and I was partially bewildered when an important official of the Perm region as well as a culture of people from SW were added to the list of suspects. [/COLOR]
By origin, Bernard Shaw is Irish; the capital of Ireland is Dublin, a name derived from the words: Black Pond, and in the drawing, the pond is drawn in black.[/COLOR]
...an exhausted
Kyle came at the voice, looking incomprehendingly at this commotion...
Kyle was blocked by a dancer, which is why he was late; this was also indicated by the fact that the drawing was brought in the morning and had been created hastily.[/COLOR]
...immediately after him
WhiteLizard departed, feeling terrible: mosquitoes had bitten him badly during the night, and the sweat pouring like hail from his forehead said that a fever had gripped him well...
On the second night, a healer visited Lizard, which affected his health[/COLOR]
...The dispersing residents only discussed at the end a strange figure whose silhouette was visible at midnight from
Arandor's window...
After the first assassination attempt, the blind nun used the influence of the abbot, who spent the whole night in her cell protecting her from an attack that never happened [/COLOR]
...animal tracks were found near
KostyaN's abode...
The tracks were animal-like because of special attachments on the ranger's boots, who was checking the inquisitor's status.[/COLOR]
III
Souviens-toi Du Noir...
No murders occurred this night; the newspaper title translates as: "remember the night" - a reference to the fact that the paper contains clues for the two previous murders[/COLOR]
...
Zybr walked ahead of everyone, his mouth smeared with red, and his happy gaze infected everyone around with a positive mood, although also with dissatisfaction: few understood his joy during mourning...
A dancer visited Zybr at night, and since he is MD, he could do nothing about it: she just fed him strawberries, which left a trace around the MD's mouth[/COLOR]
...the second one stood behind the time-worn fence of the "spiritual beacon"...
Another hint at the role of the deceased - Wish was a priest, meaning a foreigner, so they didn't dare to perform his funeral service.[/COLOR]
...Suddenly,
Major Vikhr clutched his stomach; a moment later, he left the temple vault, running far away...
Side effects from the healer's visit[/COLOR]
...knocking over a late
Revan on the way, who tried to blend in with the crowd so as not to attract attention...
Revan was late because he was being followed by a ranger, from whom he wandered for a long time, fearing that he was a maniac or someone else; he tried to get lost in the crowd[/COLOR]
Judging that those clues were simpler, I decided to give the city a light hint for the second murder in the form of a crossword: it consisted of 5 letters, which needed to be inserted; however, the task was not easy: several candidates fit: Major Vikhr, Neyra Drake[/COLOR]
... Parishioners! The final judgment is near! Non-Christians have reached our gates!...
A blurred clue for the first murder; in Ta Ko's signature there is such a phrase: "and this too shall pass" - the priest, however, fears that everything will soon end and the same of the world will come.[/COLOR]
...like the northern lights over
WhiteLizard's dwelling...
The nun was checking Liz; since her check ability is sent from above, she checked in a special way[/COLOR]
IV
Dessine-moi Un Massacreur
A murder did not occur this time, but the title is a hint that the drawing shows the killer, as the translation is: "draw me a murderer"[/COLOR]
...
Zybr, led by the mass, felt least comfortable: he felt someone's sidelong glance...
The ranger was checking Zubr, whose gaze he felt[/COLOR]
...out of the corner of their eye they saw
Arandor sitting on a bench. He was stunned, shocked, worried by something; his glassy gaze turned for a fraction of a second toward those who had arrived; in these frightened eyes were seen unanswered questions that now tormented poor
Arandor...
The second unsuccessful assassination attempt on Arandor[/COLOR]
...What beautiful mountains!... And these birds! Do they not sing wonderfully?!... What a delight! My diamond belt - finally I found you! - the priest said with chatter and reverence, frightening everyone around - Wait.... Why are you crumbling...
A clue from the mafia, because Pandora went to kill, and in her signature there are words about flooding; the priest is flooding in his speech[/COLOR]
Here is a simple clue for Pandora: Buddha's heart is a lotus, and that is on Tanyushka's avatar; besides, the artist guessed with the image: Buddha sits in the lotus position[/COLOR]
...
Major Vikhr felt strong discomfort, it seemed he would be turned inside out right now: apparently, someone worked over his well-being...
The healer visited Vikhr again[/COLOR]
...
WhiteLizard, who approached later than all others, felt someone's piercing gaze on his back; a similar feeling was experienced...
Liz arrived later than everyone else because he became a victim of the undead; besides, he became a victim of the dancer[/COLOR]
...a similar feeling was also experienced by
KostyaN....
Zubr was watching; the feeling is similar, as it's not exactly the same as Liz's[/COLOR]
V
Looking for my name...
The newspaper title was a hint to the artist's clue: "look into my name"[/COLOR]
...
Major Vikhr did not go to the temple: his well-being continued to worsen and worsen, it seemed that he would soon fall apart into a hundred small pieces...
The healer visited the Major again[/COLOR]
..."The Great Blasphemer did this! "...
A clue for Ta Ko: her city is Veliky Novgorod; the first part of the name matches the priest's word, and if you subtract "Novgorod" by number of letters from the word "Blasphemer", you get: nick, i.e., look at the nick.[/COLOR]
..."The struggle between light and darkness is waged in your souls! Protect yourselves and you will find salvation"...
A second clue from the mafia: Ta Ko has a Yin-Yang symbol on her clan crest: darkness and light.[/COLOR]
...everyone looked at the deceased, whose appearance was depressing; nearby lay a faithful bow with arrows, and the body, wrapped in furs, rested peacefully...
Hint at the role of the deceased - he was a ranger; not related to Zubr)[/COLOR]
...like a strange sexual maniac who frightened
Ta Kotoraya... while she was walking, who experienced terrible discomfort from everything that happened...
DD came to Ta Ko[/COLOR]
...the gossips turned to
Neyra Drake, in whose house it was as bright as day at night...
The nun was checking Neyra[/COLOR]
...a soaking wet
Rift flew in, who was a bit late...
MD's wandering prevented Rift from sleeping, which resulted in him being late[/COLOR]
A clue for Ta Ko: she has three ellipses in bold, hence the squares: the first is in the nick - green, and the remaining two are in the signature: blue-violet color[/COLOR]
VI
Medley
The title translates as a mixture, referring to two murders from different sides[/COLOR]
...but despite this
Arandor'y was bothered by a suspicious visitor who persistently knocked on the door; however, he did not dare open it at such an hour...
DD was bothering the nun[/COLOR]
...the remains were terribly mutilated, it seemed that they had danced on them until morning...
A clue for Ta Ko: she was born on International Dance Day[/COLOR]
...the picture was complemented by a stench that likely came from herbs hung together with someone's ears over the stove...
Description of the fact that the victim was a healer[/COLOR]
...and a set of yellowed scrolls tied with tape...
A clue from the mafia; the scrolls indicated that Ta Ko has the mages faction selected in her profile[/COLOR]
..only some were able to mention a new pervert who was raging on the roof of
Ta Kotoraya......
Zubr persistently bothered Tako as MD[/COLOR]
...and the body lying in the center of a pentagram had a hole in the chest, with an aspen stake sticking out of it...
Description of the fact that the victim was a witch and was killed by the abbot[/COLOR]
...and each leg was tied with twine to a stone weighing one pud...
Hint at Abbot Ple-Sen: in his profile, two numbers 16 appear: birthday and age; and 16 ~ pud[/COLOR]
...besides, the face was covered with a scrap of red cloth...
besides, the face was covered with a scrap of red cloth[/COLOR]
...additional clue from the abbot: Ple-Sen has red cloth on his avatar..
The Dharmachakra is depicted, which translates from Sanskrit as "wheel of law"; it refers to Ta Ko; in her signature are the words: "Everything that happens has a cause..." - the law of karma at work, so here is your wheel of law [/COLOR]
P.S. The description of the execution was not intended to help the city as much as for the atmosphere I wanted to achieve; I hope I succeeded
That's all.
