A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [01]

Not particularly interested in toasted corpses, Keeland focuses his attention on other details of the fire scene.

Harnrey is lamenting the fact that he did not memorize the ol' stand by: Detect Magic to look for any residual arcene emminations.

OOC: Keeland has that covered should you suggest the idea...

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

"He presumes that the body is the driver's eh? That seems like a simple and logical enough place to begin the investigation." Houwlou will sift through the wreckage until he finds the body.

[sblock=OOC]The body is presumed to be Eloais, the fortune teller/Harrower.[/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Physical examination of the ruined wagon reveals sooty ashes, a few broken bottles or potion vials, a cracked nonmagical crystal ball, and several pools of melted wax where candles must once have stood. Eloais’s charred skeletal form remains near the center of the wagon.

Aodhán will follow the others and once they arrive at the scene, he'll ask the others for a moment with the body. "I want to make sure of the method of its death" the Abhac says.

It appears as though Eloais perished from smoke inhalation and exposure to heat. There are no signs of foul play.

Not particularly interested in toasted corpses, Keeland focuses his attention on other details of the fire scene.

Keeland catches movement from the corner of his eye and turns in time to see a mangy human with long, lank hair duck behind a nearby tent. He was plainly watching the search. Kecil taps him unobtrusively on the leg. "Did you see him?"

 

[Scott DeWar]

"blast it! of all the days to have forgotten to study Detect magic! that would have been perfect to look for any magical residue from foul play.Harumpf"

Kecil

"There's a fellow lurking around that tent over there . . . looks like a rough sort. On the other hand, everyone in the camp is likely curious about us."

Houwlou Groulenas and Keeland

Keeland begins softly singing an old elvish folk song about questing for lost ancient lore, one of his favorites.

Houwlou draws close to Kecil and softly says, "You slowly start over to where you saw him, Kecil, and I'll circle around in the trees and approach from the other side of the wagon. Let's see is we can't find out what's going on here."

[sblock=OOC Leif]And you're doing a dang fine job - except Kecil is me and Keeland is Scotley . . .

I appreciate the assist, though! [/sblock]
