I've got a nice idea for a plot.
A young 12 year old child has been killed. Nobody knows why, but magic shows that the suspect leads to an axe wielder. This poses a problem for Shintai, as he has a very strong axe. (Well, he will once I get it approved, as I've made the topic already.)

hmm... maybe Elexis could have been hired to frame you, and they run into eachother but only I know that you're the one that I'm framing and you realize it later

I could enter as the mercenary hired to bring you in, and possibly get convinced later that you were not the one that killed the child.

I could play as the one who killed the child; perhaps because he was a half-elf. Then I drop the axe in an alley and flee, or something..

I would like the idea of me framing him... then actually having to use him to help escape the law...

I like all of these ideas, but we need to fill a timeline.
Okay, we know this:
The child is half-elf, and killed.

Now, what else should we do?
