[QUOTE="Lord Wyrm, post: 2761852, member: 36521"] Ulvan: [sblock]Using what skill you have you determine that the wound was probably caused by his own scimitar based upon the shape of the wound and the angle. The time the man has been dead is difficult to determine based upon the withered flesh. Strangely the scimitar wound was not fatal. Relon is currently examining the scimitar.
