*Following the trail to a back room partially collapsed due to neglect, Zykovian finds Fraye, cursing at the end of the blood trail. Zykovian detects a lingering aura of magic, though there is no way to tell how strong without waiting to see how long it takes to fade.*

After a quick scan of the room with the detect magic, (to get the number of auras and make certain there was nothing upward) Zykovian left the room. His detect was still active and Zykovian first pursued the trail from outside the wall that Fraye was cursing in (street side). Then, if nothing (no blood or magic trail), he headed back outside and to the wall where the drawing was being done.

*Zykovian doesn't detect any magic except his own and Fraye's throughout his sweeping. Outside the wall streetside, there does not appear to magic or a trail either, though admittedly Zykovian can only track the simplest of trails. Thus, Zykovian heads back to the wall where the Mojiin corpse lies.*

*When Zykovian copies the message, he sees that it is complete, some of the Mojiin's blood spattered in a trail from its heart, lying atop the maimed corpse, to the place in the wall where the message was not yet complete earlier.*

OOC: So she did circle back to finish it and Zykovian missed her (i.e. it happened before he got there)? Essentially a re-post to get things in order and make certain each are done . . .
When he arrived, Zykovian had detected the area for magic auras (previous post). Finding nothing, he reviewed the writing to determine if it was still the same as before. If he noticed that something had been added, Zykovian immediately scanned the area, looking for a new blood trail and/or magic. Finding nothing, he copied the message.
Zykovian added the point to his map, then expanded his search around the area for a trail of blood leading away.

(OOC: Zykovian did his first Detect sweep, then he followed the only blood trail to Fraye, which dead-ended. Returning, there was no new magic, but there was more on the wall)
*There are no more visible blood trails in any direction, except the path of wet Mojiin blood from the heart to the wall, as if the blood had flowed out of the heart, along the ground, and up the wall to finish the sentence, which doesn't really lead anywhere. He does not see any other nearby trails, even after a search fanning out a bit.*

Zykovian looked up for an easy place to head to the roof . . . it was his guess that the heart was used via Magehand to finish the writing, which meant that the trail must be somewhere - if not on the ground . . . they it was time to look up. Zykovian headed out in the direction he had last seen Fraye, perhaps they could compare notes and have a chance at this bounty.

*When he returns to the building, Fraye is gone. Heading up, he does not see a blood trail along the rooftops, but he does notice a smashed-open window across the way looking out over the alley. Either way, when the blood trail stopped, she must have realised that she was leaving one and prevented further bleeding, unless she traveled in some remarkably unusual path.*
