[QUOTE="jkason, post: 5851619, member: 2710"] [sblock=jackslate45]For identifying the rune, you'll want Know: Religion. If you're asking about identifying the creature based on the available evidence, roll any and all Know skills you want. I'm nice, but not nice enough to go narrowing things down for you by telling you what category it falls in. :devil:[/sblock] [sblock=Tyrien]Tyrien's examination of the bodies is sadly inconclusive. Whatever killed these men, it appears she hasn't enough skill to identify it by the wounds it inflicted.[/sblock] When the party has indicated its readiness, Rylidak tilts her head, cracking her neck, then nods and leads them past the rope cordon and into the alley. The side of a single-story wooden house has collapsed outward into the alley. The mass of garbage suggests, though, that the alley was something of an obstacle course even before the pre-dawn attack. The roofs provide some shelter from the rain, which is a mixed blessing. The party gains some level of relief from the downpour, but the lack of rushing water has left swaths of blood and gore on several parts of the walls. The hideous smell wafting out of the ruined building is as unplacable as it is stomachturning. After picking your way through rubble and garbage, the group looks up as Rylidak points at the largest remaining gore: a huge spiral-shaped smear of blood on the wall opposite the partially collapsed building.
