Inside is a long, narrow room (20 feet wide by 40 feet long) that is obviously a library... or at least use to be one. Books and scrolls have been torn apart and hundreds of papers have been slashed and are lining on the floor. Book shelves are overturned and smashed. A couple of smashed chairs and an over turned desk can also be seen amidst the mess. Who ever did this, shows an unusual amount of range or glee in ripping everything in here to screeds.
Torren takes a slow step into the room, his skin crawling. Who would do such a thing? He picks up a torn piece of parchment bearing only a few letters. He lets it fall and stares around the room in disgust for a moment. Then he moves toward the shattered desk and examines it more carefully.

Search +3, looking for evidence of how this was done (i.e. claws, axes, hammers, etc.) Also, is there another exit from the library?

?but nothing can be hurt but the rain on the roof. After a minute or two he thinks he might have hear some sniffing sounds coming from the way he came but he is not completely sure?

Chittering with a bit of uncharacteristic loudness, Kitsch moves into view of his companions and attempts to get their attention. ~something is coming from the way I came in~ Once someone who understands handsign takes note and conveys it, he'll do his best to hide* with a really good shot of the hallway he came in.

Before he can reach the desk, Torren hears Kitsch chittering. He returns to the door and looks up at the filcher.

"Kitsch says something's coming," he translates and quickly places himself next to the entrance Kitsch indicated.

[OOC: I hope it's OK to interrupt my action like that.]
 

[OCC no problem JimAbe, you are not far into the room so Torren would hear Kitsch and could come back out...]

Zoraster looks into the room with the smashed door and sees a hallway about 70 or 80 feet straight down that leads to another door that is also smashed open; he can see the last of daylight fading out that door along with the rain (it leads outside). There are 8 sets of doors on each side of the hallway, spaced 8 to 10 feet apart (for a total of 16 doors). Most also look like they where smashed open.

Kitsch returns to his hiding spaces and listens as close as he can, but he can no longer hear anything...
Hide 15 +16 =31, Listen 14 +3 =17

Fentrith Fade, Wannabe Cleric

Fentrith's mind whirled through possibilities. He didn't want to perform the burial service for the dead woman. He didn't even like dead bodies, especially ones that didn't move. Besides, the service for Harrimast ended with the body being tossed in the sea, and that generally didn't go over too well with the unfaithful.

Still, if he refused, the man with the bow might shoot him. Or the pansy might start crying. Whatever. It's morbid, carrying around some corpse.

Kitsch's interruption, therefore, was quite welcome. As soon as he completed the sign, Fentrith began his invocation. "Blessed Harrimast, protect me from those who mean harm. Grant me the power to withstand their attacks, and deal them their death."

Looking up, he smiles. "Let's go find out what it is. I'm not one for being ambushed, best to strike first."

Cast Protection From Evil on myself. By the way, the spell I substituted was a Command spell.
 

Valliard ranger/rogue

Villard search the morgue to see if their is one spot vacant where he could put the body while he clear things up here. If there is he will put the body in one of the slot and will whisper in her ear that she should not worry he will come back to give her a proper burial.

"Sounds good to me," says Torren. He executes a courtly bow and gestures toward the doorway. "After you, oh priest," he says with a smile.
 

Fentrith moves into the middle of the room, looking around and seeing nothing. He glows slightly for a moment while the protection of his god flows over him like a semi-transparent wave.
Spot roll 10 +3, Listen roll 20! +3
…but, then after a moment of silences he thinks he hears some scrapping and sniffing sounds coming from behind a door up on the second floor balcony. He can’t be completely sure, but it seems to be fading a bit… he slowly start up the stairs... (followed by Torren)

Villard moves into the large room and looking into one of the first metal doors. There is an empty table inside but it looks like you could slide the table out easily. It is slightly cool in the space, and looks like it just might hold a body comfortably. Glancing in a couple others he notes that they all seem to be empty…
Spot roll 17 +10 =27
…just as he placed the body of his beloved in one of them and is about to leave he notices a dark stain over by the door… it looks like dried blood, but there is also a smear or slide across it.

In the shadows, Kitsch follows Torren and Fendrith into the new room, preferring to be with others.

OOC: still hiding & moving silently
