    Default Re: Case of who done it and false accusations

    If the guards have access to a cleric of lv5 or higher (or a lv1 cleric and a 375gp scroll), they can simply ask the corpse what happened. This is such an amazing tool for murder investigations that the guards are likely familiar with it, though there might be some red tape involved in actually using it (at the very least, contacting a local church and waiting for a cleric to prepare the spell).

    A competent murderer is likely to take countermeasures against such forensics, like attacking from behind or destroying the victim's throat so they can't speak. However, the more steps they have to take, the more likely that they'll slip up and leave behind clues.
