(Non-Nat 20 Investigation Roll Result)

The Hangman unnerves you to no end. Where the corpse that moved was shocking & revolting to look upon, the suspended husk before you is all that & more. There's something about it that raises every goosebump on your neck. Still, curiosity & the decency with which you were raised keep you rooted to the spot. You should say a prayer for this poor soul as well. First, you decide to try to understand what led to this.

Stepping slowly around the hanging body, your eyes never leaving it, you ask yourself aloud, "Did they take their own life? What could lead someone to that?" Todd speaks up, "If he's been sealed in here since the Atomic Apocalypse, it could have been radiation, or starvation, lack of water even." You look closely at the rope, beginning to imagine the torment of their last moments yourself, before your thoughts turn back again to prayer & you snap out of it. Below his bloated feet you see the shattered remnants of a small wooden step-stool, likely broken by spasmic kicks in his last moments. His hands are unbound, so you doubt anyone else could be involved. Lorraine reaches for the body to check it for something, only for the room to shake with an echoing rumble that stops you all in your tracks & sends the beams of your Pip-Boy lights shaking in every direction.

A tense silence fills the room, before Kain speaks up, "Must have been thunder from the storm outside." Todd mumbles something about generator sounds.

You've seen enough, time to do what you can for the dead man, he was one of your fellow Americans afterall...
