[Question] How to solve a murder in 5e
So my players just murdered a masked lord of Waterdeep. I'm trying to think of the ways the sheriff might track them down.
Details:
- Killed him with Blackrazor so no soul to talk to.
- Took the body with them, then dissolved it in acid. They did keep his mask though.
- They fled the scene, then once out of sight of everyone teleported 250 miles away (into High Forest).
- It's probable that there was blood from both the Masked Lord as well as the Dragonborn left at the scene.
- There were witnesses to the fight. The group is pretty unique looking - Goliath, Tabaxi, Halfling, Dragonborn.
- I don't think the Sheriff would realize it was a Masked Lord that was murdered for at least 24 hours, maybe longer.
Any suggestions on how the Wizards/Clerics/Bounty Hunters of Waterdeep would track these poor souls down is appreciated.
