[sblock]See this as a very loose skill challenge with many possible outcome.  Not everything is a skill; simply looking for the right thing or asking for the right question is going to be enough for many elements of the investigation.  I know you don't have a lot of info (though some clues are already apparent), but that's kinda the point; You are a mere minute after an assault from a dragon and devils; no one is thinking straight.  Some pretty elementary things have to be done and verified and it's up to your agents to do it.  Don't hesistate to split up if necessary.The objective obviously is to discover who is behind the attack and why and hopefully pick their trail.Failure in this case is penalized by wasted time.  If you don't figure out what is going on on your own, the teams sent to investigate in 20 or so minutes will pick up the trail and feed you the answers but let's not embarass yourself, eh?[/sblock]</blockquote>
