[QUOTE="mfloyd3, post: 5786759, member: 23867"] Xoria looks carefully at the scroll, then returns her attention to Olmar's question. "The apes are called nandies," she explains, sounding a bit like a librarian as she sometimes does. "I hadn't heard of them so near Zor, but the climate is mild enough that they should be able to survive naturally. They can be dangerous if they are riled, and they fight as part of a group. There is a larger animal -- a bear-like creature -- that can be associated with their packs. They are dangerous and often attack humans. "The scroll says if we want to gain entrance, we must say to the guard, 'Take us to your master,'" Xoria continues. She shows it to her comrades, then tucks it away in her robe. "Perhaps this poor soul was some kind of messenger, who had been given instructions as to how to reach the wizard. But why was he killed? And why did the toughs in the castle simply leave his body here, unless it was they who killed him?" She tucks the scroll away in her robe. OOC: Any guesses as to what killed the skeleton? Evidence of broken bones, etc.? OOC: There does not seem to be anything like "Detect Magic," even under Divination (which is the reason Xoria didn't bother trying before picking up the scroll). Would you allow some kind of Divination spell to determine the presence of magic? What would the challenge be to do that on the body? OOC: Also, there is nothing in Divination about using scrying to look at past events. Would you allow that? Say, to look at the moment of the man's death? Or to get lesser information -- When did it happen, was he alone, etc? OOC: What language is the scroll written in? Or, perhaps a better question would be, does the language suggest anything about the author (the way, say, Latin might suggest a certain level of education in the modern world). [/QUOTE]
