05-Sherlock Holmes Mafia Day 1

[Bolero]

The Final Showdown





The criminal mastermind, Professor Moriarty, has decided once and for all to rid the world of his arch-nemesis, Sherlock Holmes.





Through the Baker St Irregulars – a delightful, if rather uncouth, gang of street urchins – Holmes has learned of Moriarty’s plan to take over London by doing away with Holmes, all his known associates and the Scotland Yard detectives he works with.



To protect himself and others while he tries to figure out where Moriarty will strike next, Holmes has donned one of his famous disguises, and moves among you incognito, trying to ferret out the evildoers.

Holmes has made many enemies over the years, though, and Moriarty is not the only troublemaking villain running amok on the streets of London. The charming, but highly evil, Baron Adelbert Grüner is also lurking somewhere in the shadows, and who knows what evil scheme he is plotting to pull off?



Will Moriarty and his henchmen succeed, or will Scotland Yard, Holmes and his friends, through good detective work, save the day? And what the devil is that sadistic Baron up to?

This is the most suspicious post we have seen on this entire thread.

Lynch durro. Um, no, not yet.

I am confused as to why "lynch" is still used. Do they not have guns and shit in Scottland Yard?

Croc: because it does not just mean hanging.

To punish (a person) without legal process or authority, especially by hanging, for a perceived offense or as an act of bigotry.

Surely the manner in which the villains are dealt with is not as important, or indeed as interesting, as the discovery of their identity eh Croc?

I say chaps... doing getting ready for work stuff, don't you know. I'll be back around the chimes of 9:30 (11:30 for those in parts of the antipodes), or thereabouts.

Those are good points. Especially during the Global Identity Crisis, where identities cost nearly 100 times more than last. I tell you, some of the identity companies are ripping everybody off.

Some?

Damn Global Identity Crisis.

It's the monopoly effect. The rest will get booted out of the market due to inability to keep up to demands.
