"Quick Explination: You are all acquainted with the deceased and seem to have met her sometime in the past week. Additionally, we think she was blackmailing at least one of you. The woman's name was Fieng." The Warforged close around the four of you and escort you to the portal.
Claw, Zignatz, Dumaan, and Krun come through the portal at one end of an empty car. In the middle of the car slumped over in her seat is a female goblin. On the far side 2 other people appear, Kale and Shalamaar, and after them a male shardmind.
The shardmind and warforged escort you to the middle, a couple rows away from the body. On the ground is a smattering of paper. The shardmind speaks up. "We have a confession to make. All of you were hired through Fieng to work with us against a threat. Unfortunately, with her death and her notes about the six of you found by another passenger we needed to public arrest you even though we think you are innocent. What we need is for the six of you to find who is guilty. The train staff will provide any help you need."

Zignatz is pleased to see Kale entering from the other side of the car. He'll get to enjoy this experience with the rest of us then. He thinks to himself. He is saddened by the death of the goblin woman, This will make things more complicated... His expression quickly changes as the shardmind speaks. Zignatz doesn't even try to suppress a grin as he goes into full on investigator mode. He immediately begins carefully examining the scene of the crime. "What can you tell us about the passenger who found the body and where is he or she located?" He asks the shardmind without looking up from his investigation. Roll

OOC: man, I'm probably going to miss that crit the first time we get into combat.

The events right before the scream comes to Claws mind as the shardmind explains the situation. "I say we question the dwarf. He said we where playing for the losing team. Now, one other thing, you can provide what we where promised correct?" If thet wasn't going to be a payment anymore he was out of this.

As soon as he gets in the car, Kale rushes over to Fieng, a prayer of healing on his lips without much hope of success he still tries to use Bastion of Health on her, and he checks her for any signs of life at all Heal Check (1d20+14=20). Not finding any he checks the body for signs of what has caused her untimely death Heal Check (1d20+14=20).

"Damn. There goes my new home." He looks at the others. "They all met Fieng? Interesting. I suppose that is the 'little Gnome friend' the Dwarf spoke of then."
Dumaan whirls his weapon in a half circle, blade now pointing to the ground. His stance shows he is ready to pounce at the slightest provocation. He glances at Claw. "The Dwarf couldn't have done this, he was with us when the girl died. Unless he poisoned her. Can you see what killed her, 'little Gnome friend'?
"But you're right," he says, turning back to the Shifter, "it's likely the Dwarf is involved. Constructs, are you aware of which Dwarf we speak of? He was with us in the bar just before you came to... collect us."

Shalamar adjusts his spectacles a bit and his eyes blaze a brilliant amethyst as he looks over the body and the compartment. Upon his shoulder Seers eyes are also ablaze with the same glow as he gives a renewed stink eye to the two monstrous humanoids. "Hmmm, fascinating." the mage states and draws out a weathered leather journal and makes notes of the scene and the exact placement of the body and all other items in the car. 'May have to use this in a new novel, 'Sir Lord Harold Xavier Rathbourne III and Murder on the Rails. Certainly is quite the cast of characters thus far as well.'

The Shardmind tilts its head to the side as if listening for something only it can hear then answers Zignatz, "The first we knew of Fieng's death was when the lights flickered and a scream was heard throughout the train. We've moved the passengers in this car to the dining car. You may talk with them there after you feel finished here."

Something shiny embedded into Fieng's headrest. Examining closely it appears to be a sliver of bright red rock sticking out of the gray pillow. You don't know why but you feel as if you've seen this before.
Cause of death
Show
Fieng doesn't move after the first healing attempt she is certainly dead, and Kale notices a slight bruise on her neck. However it doesn't look serious enough to kill her.
The warfogred who had escorted the others intoned. "Factual Statement: If you are paid now is up to Messenger and your own skills. Emberresed admision: we do not know what the goblin promised you for payment. She was to report to Messenger while en route." to Dumaan "Querry: This one remembers seeing a dwarf, would you like him brought here?"
The Shardmind looks at the six of you and fixes you all with a stern glare. "Until you absolve yourselves or we find evidence confirming your involvment you will need to stay here or in the dining car with the passengers from this area. Any attempts to go elsewhere will be reacted to most severely. Please hand over your tickets." the construct holds out a rose colored hand.

The various items of your compatriots and indeed the walls of the train itself glow with magic, but even through all that you notice, that there is a faint tendril linking Dumaan's pocket to the headrest of the goblin woman. You also see the dead body of the goblin woman itself is pulsing with magics you are unfamiliar with.

"What about my stuff? If I'm being detained, I want my things." Krun is acutely aware of the lack of weaponry about his person. With a dead body before him, he suddenly feels the desire to wrap his fists with his chain. If nothing else, it'll keep his hands busy so he doesn't strangle someone over an innocent misunderstanding.
The bugbear pulls out his ticket but snatches it back before the Shardmind can take it. "What about my stuff?" he asks again in a low growl. Fighting back his anger he tries to remember the polite way to ask. "Please," he manages to spit out. He then allows the Shardmind to take the ticket.

The shardmind seems to be listening again. "Your things shall be brought to you. We don't wnt accidents however. So please be careful."
After a few minutes a warforged arrives with a large case. Opening it is all your gear.
Naturally if you choose to visit the other passengers you will need to hide or peacebind your weapons. The Shardmind mentions as it goes back to watching the other five in the cabin, hand again waiting for the tickets.

Zignatz pulls a set of tweezers out of his belt pouch and carefully pulls out the sliver of bright red rock. "This looks familiar." He muses as he pulls it out. "Did anyone take that rock from the bar? I'd like to compare this to it."
He looks up at the shardmind when it mentions the dwarf. "I would appreciate it if you could bring the dwarf. Thank you."
Then he looks up, taking in all of those in the room. "We all seem to be in roughly the same boat here, perhaps some introductions are in order. I'm Zignatz, a merchant and amature scholar of sword magic." He nods to Krun and Kale, "I've met some of you, and I've seen most of you in the bar, but perhaps more involved introductions are in order since we all appear to have shared the same unfortunate acquaintance."
