Murder at the beach Story-line 

Date: November 13, 1929

It is the day after the eleventh anniversary of the signing of the formal agreement to stop all fighting and ended World War One. There are always consequences during and after the war, the economy for one, will suffer and people struggle and fight for survival. Many of those who vie for power during these times make promises of a better future.

A celebration is being held on a private beach in Florida, on a secluded piece of land known as Lia
Island. Gathered together were a group of fellow comrades, who fought together for their countries and were wounded, during the World War. They were raising their glasses in a salute to each other.

These three soldiers when wounded and were taken to the same hospital to recover. There during
their time of healing, they became good friends. After the signing of the peace treaty, they made a
promise to each other, they would meet again after eleven years to commemorate their friendship.
They all agreed on a location, the Lia Island and beach those many years ago.

The celebrations did not last very long into the next day, as a body was found floating in the waves
along the beach. The body belonged to Andre Petrov, a well-known Russian writer, who was also a
guest at the hotel on the island. The deadly deed was accomplished by someone who had taken a
large branch and then proceeded to smash Petrov over the head. The clue provided by some
footprints in the sand indicate that Petrov did not have a chance, as the perpetrator came up from behind to do him in.

Petrov was known to side with the Bolsheviks in opposition to the Czarist regime during the time of Revolution in Russia. He was very vocal with his political views and openly supported the cause of the common folk, both in his country and to the rest of the world. He was allowed to travel to
America by the Russian Government, to speak about the great thing’s communism can achieve.

Nobody knows why he made the stop over to Lia Island, it was not listed on his schedule for the visit. He suddenly decided to break from the plans made to visit this undisturbed part of Florida. He joined a diverse gathering of visitors that were also checking into the Islands Hotel. The only way to discover the truth behind his murder would be to tread carefully amongst the suspects and to slowly piece together the reason for Petrov’s savage murder.

Guest to the event will role-play the suspects below: 

Emily Williams – Owner of the Island Hotel

She had once lived in Europe with her father, but after his death had moved to America. Her life, before she came to the States, has never been revealed.

Babette Duster – Cleaning lady at the Island Hotel

She had only recently been hired for the job and lives close to the hotel in a remote section of the
Island.

Michal Nowack – A strange guest at the hotel who says he is of Polish decent

He doesn’t mix much with the other guests and is rather a solitary figure at the hotel.

Mark Roberts – General in the American Army

He belonged to the air force for the duration of the world war and was one of three reunited with
his friends.

Colonel Jacob Archibald Williams – British MI5 Officer

Currently stationed in Kansas on a ‘secret mission’. He was the one who planned the whole reunion.

Ruben Janssens – Successful businessman from Belgium

Today, he is a wealthy businessman but was also an officer during the war.

Louise Brodeur – She is from France and is familiar with the comrades and three friends

She does not divulge anything about her past or what she did before she came to the Island. Her
sophistication and style are at odds with the surrounding rustic environment.
