Murder in the Baths
The year is 50, AD and the place is Ancient Rome. The last few days have seen the best Roman athletes, chariot racers and gladiators entertain the vast crowds in the Coliseum and Circus Maximus. The Thermal Baths in Rome will be the venue for a lavish feast at which the cream of Rome’s political and sporting societies will bathe and then feast. However, before the feast can begin, Senator Devius Taxes is found dead in the plunge pool. Host your own party to discover how he came to meet such a sticky end.
The suspects are:
- POLL TAXUS –The Senators Wife (money grabbing temptress)
- RIGHTUS PRATTUS – Vice Senator (the name says it all)
- JOYUS RIDUS – Chariot Racer (she enjoys a good whipping)
- LOBBA DISCUS – Athlete (he throws his equipment around)
- LUSCIOUS – Slave (oh pucker up those lips)
- MAIXIMUS GORE – Gladiator (minimus intelligence)
- CINNA – Slave (Cinna by name and sinner by nature)
- FOLIO SCANDALUS – Scribe (he can’t control his quill)
