[QUOTE="Sic_Pixie, post: 5957223, member: 52403"] [b]Investigating a crime scene.[/b] [B]Investigating a crime scene.[/B] Judging by the complete lack of bystanders it seems this crime scene is either so horrible that no-one wants to see it or so trivial no-one is bothered by it. Grembor’s money is on the former and he wins as they approach the sodden dripping rope that bars passage further. This rope is raised to allow the party through by a Crow who nods solemnly at the party as they pass; they see a partially destroyed building before them which Grembor quickly approaches while fending off the cobbler from across the street that seems to want to talk. Sayuri and Nashkar enter the nearby tent which holds the three recovered bodies of the victims. They are each in severe states of disrepair one having been twisted around at least twice; that’s while wearing chain armor. They soon leave and follow Grembor who is examining the ruined house from an alleyway down the side of the building where there is interesting piece of bloody artistry upon the wall opposite. Calling over Pringle to have a quick look at the most likely magical in nature if not in subject symbol Grembor steps into the partially destroyed building. The aroma which is a pungent mix of every stomach churning smell that he has ever had the misfortune to come across soon has him vomiting onto the broken bricks and roof tiles strewn upon the floor. Pringle examining the artistry recognizes it not only as a symbol commonly associated with both magical portals and the Dark Tapestry but also as one of many symbols tied to a specific deity known as Yog-Sothoth and entity associated with gates, portals, time and space. Retreating they look towards the anxious looking cobbler who is silently wringing his hands while his face goes through several different emotions; they approach and ask him to relate his tale of woe. He looks them all up and down and seems to come to a decision. “As every morning, the Slipper Market was awake early.
