I'd rather we were following a different thread, but as long as we're on this one then I say we finish it. My vote was for the Harbormaster's Office, but I suspect the community will vote us into Trident Lane. Insight Park isn't a bad direction, though. I'd be happy to see us go there. Although I really wish we had followed up on the Shrine earlier. So many places to see in only so much time.
Indeed! Though I wonder if, in a choice between just the Harbourmaster's and Trident Lane, Trident Lane might be the better bet? To me, it felt more likely that the dragonborn's death was related to them seeing something they shouldn't have at Riverveins than the fight at the docks, and Riverveins seems to be close to Insight Park as well as to the cemetery. And the dagger seems to be linked to the dragonborn and might have been the short-bladed weapon used in the Insight Park killing. If we can find out more about who might have owned it, it could lead us to Riverveins and possibly closer to a solution to those two killings. Though of course the Harbourmaster fight could be linked after all, and whether either of the earlier deaths have anything to do with the butcher or the bard, or our ticking deadline to identify the Master in the next few days on pain of pain seems uncertain at the moment!
That's a good question, which is better?
I guess I chose Harbormaster's Office because I didn't necessarily understand the dagger.
We found a dagger by some cloth where the dragonborn may have been before washing ashore on the other side of the city? Which isn't even the place where the dragonborn claims to have been killed? The dragonborn claims to have never seen the dagger. Of course, that doesn't mean it's not the murder weapon. It's just... I feel like in the real world this would be a big leap, assuming this weapon is involved at all.
But I accept that the dagger is involved. I'm just not sure how.
That said. What could we possibly learn from someone about the dagger? I'm guessing there are tens of thousands of daggers sitting around in the setting, right? What are we hoping that someone can tell us, exactly? Is there a unique mark on the dagger we want to examine? I just don't get what we're hoping to accomplish.
--don't get me wrong. I'm sure something good will come from this location, and I'm all for this game. It's just, I don't necessarily follow the logic train of each step.
