Physical Items

Anonymous List of Demands

Observation #1

This is the note that was left in numerous places with a dagger, which led Art to believing the volunteers were forming a coup.

Observation #2

The list of demands seem reasonable enough.

Bestiary Packet

Observation #1

There is alchemy code written on this document.

Observation #2

Once deciphered, the messages read:

  • "DOWNLOAD THE APP AND MEET BENEATH THE MAN THE LION AND THE SCORPION"

Cease and Desist Warning

Observation

All this hub bub just because Hank refused to give Chester credit on every single little project (probably regardless of his involvement).

Flower Brooch

Observation #1

Danny took this from Vivian's stall.

Observation #2

It has 5 petals and 2 leaves.

Green Knight Letter

Observation #1

The "Green Knight" is spewing more threats, telling Art to drop looking into the murder of Hank.

Observation #2

They have drawn an iron maiden in the bottom-right corner of their letter, alluding to how they will punish Art if she does not relent.

Hank's Will

Observation #1

Hank left virtually everything to his wife, Lynn.

Observation #2

However, it was finalized 2 days after he and Lynn entered a trial separation.

  • Comparing signatures on this document and on the trial separation request, it is evident that someone forged his signature on the will.

Letter from Art

Observation

The volunteers seem to be getting uppity.

Pledge of Fealty

Observation

Danny tells Art that the flower brooch belongs to Vivian.

  • Since she has more of them, it must be an item that she sells.

Trial Separation Request

Observation #1

Lynn requested the separation.

Observation #2

Comparing signatures on this document and on Hank's will, it is evident that someone forged his signature on the will.
