"Okay, you know, simpler Golarion murder mystery.  You'll just make up the stats, and we won't have any idea afterwards who was right.  If two of you disagree, oh well."

"Meritxell is found dead in her bedroom tomorrow.  And for some reason, Governance wants to know who did it immediately, instead of waiting to raise her.  Also she didn't make afterlife arrangements so they can't just call her in Hell immediately.  Wow murder mysteries around here must be a lot less interesting a lot of the time."

"Anyways, the two suspects are Keltham and Carissa, the only two people who had Security clearances that could have enabled them to access Meritxell's bedroom during the time in question."

"Meritxell, obviously, was murdered by a lantern archon.  Keltham is known to have Summon Monster III among his accessible cleric spells; when it comes to Carissa, we'd have to ask how likely a recently-fourth-circle wizard was to have that exact spell in her spellbook... uh, unless there's obvious other ways to cast it, like, from a scroll, but this was obviously a spellbook lantern archon rather than a scroll lantern archon and also nobody's allowed to just look in her spellbook.  Bear with me here, I haven't constructed Golarion murder mysteries before."

"Neither Keltham nor Carissa have any known motive to slay Meritxell.  However, Carissa was observed by Ione, assumed honest for these purposes, to have gotten into some sort of angry-looking argument with Meritxell the previous day, though Ione wasn't able to overhear the details."

"What can we say about who likely did it, and how would we say that?"
