[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 4965482, member: 46559"] Magnus tries to get a feel for the house's arcane structure, the subtle distortions in the fabric of reality that every building engenders, over time. After walking around it and taking its measure, he sits in the physical center of the house, feeling for the metaphorical heart of its ethereal parallel. Something is off, though; the heart should be near the physical center, if all is as it appears. But Magnus feels a distinct imbalance [i]downward[/i]. For a single-floor house with no subterranean structure, this is distinctly surprising. Kamotz, with Vrrsk't's capable aid, gives the dead girl's mouth a closer examination. The jagged broken teeth have bits of flesh in them, corresponding to cuts in her lips and gums, but the cuts are completely bloodless. Kamotz concludes that whatever broke her teeth and jaw happened to her long after her death. Perhaps her mouth was pried open? There are traces of wool fiber caught between her teeth. The fibers are long and fine; expensive stuff. Vrrsk't begins to chant the words of a rite for the dead, trying to ease these poor souls along their eternal path. Halfway through he feels a resistance. The words twist and fall flat from his mouth. It's not that the words have no power; it's as if he were pulling a heavy burden with a strong rope, and the rope began to fray and pull away from the burden. You remember High Priest Belingras mentioning that his priests have had difficulty administering the funeral rites to the murder victims, too. Morvannon follows Magnus' work, and begins to search for traces of magic in a downward direction. The great hall, the dining room and kitchen, the sitting room and a rather nice library fail to arrest his arcane senses, but in a hallway between the library and a suite of bedrooms, he suddenly stops and finds himself looking at a low fireplace. There is a definite tingle of magic nearby. [sblock=status]5 success, 1 failure. Grakk and Vixo are up, if I'm not mistaken. Current primary skills are, I think, Perception, Thievery, Arcana, Dungeoneering, Religion, or Insight. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
