Heir to the Harkening

Description
A rural farm is the site of a brutal murder. There are seven suspects, but who is guilty? And when you have gathered all of the clues, who will you hunt down for the crime?

--

Heir to the Harkening is a murder mystery for Solasta. Although there will be at least one fight, the focus is on considering the clues available - which means that some of your less-used Proficiencies may get a work-out, and there isn't a dungeon in sight.

Combat should be fairly easy at level 5. Try it at 3 if you have mastered the DnD 5e ruleset.

Nice job!

I enjoyed your characters and their quirks, not to mention the background story to the murder. It was easy to solve, although I admit I brought a high-Charisma character and a high-WIS one, therefore receiving every single clue.

You were definitely up against the combat simulator framework here but did inspiring work. :)

Oh, since I forgot to mention it, I started a bit of the way through level 4 and didn't level up.

Heir to the Harkening wasn't bad, but as a murder mystery, it was really clearly fighting against the limitations of Solasta's Dungeon Maker, with cutscenes for dialogue and random interactable bits in order to use skills. Still the first Solasta module I've played with branching paths with multiple endings, though. I wouldn't really recommend it because it's quite short and also very janky from the fighting-against-the-engine bits, but it was still neat.

Also, what gives with the real murderer being immune to all physical damage? Hax. :steammocking:
