[QUOTE="Systole, post: 6253176, member: 93930"] Heinrich is easily able to identify the spell as a short-range teleportation spell, generally called 'Dimension Door' by most practitioners of the art. Locked room mysteries are significantly less mysterious when a user of arcane magic is in the picture. Aside from some poorly enchanted armor on the bodyguard and a circlet of intelligence on the accountant, there is also some lingering enchantment magic on the woman, and traces of necromancy on both corpses. There doesn't seem to be any sign of the weapon used to kill the woman. The bodyguard does have a longsword and a dagger, but both are still sheathed. Blind Harry thinks for a minute. [COLOR=#ff8c00] "Let's see ... the first attack was about five weeks ago, I think. Because there was about a week and a half of ... misunderstandings between the Crew and the Syndicate at first. Then they figured out it was someone else and they tried working together for about another week and a half. Then they sent Mr. Rahor and Miss Sweet to Venza, and that was about two weeks ago. That adds up to ... yes, five weeks. Give or take." [/COLOR] You are indeed several blocks away from the docks and a few dozen feet above sea level. The sea water didn't get here by itself. The corpses have a definite taint of evil to them. They're not undead yet, but rather in an in-between state, much like a person who has been drained by a vampire, but who has not yet risen as one (although there's nothing that indicates it was a vampire in this case). It seems likely that the taint would have been enough to interrupt the delicate workings of a deadspeaking spell, however. And it also seems likely that the priest's preservation spell would have temporarily paused the transformation. Blind Harry hesitates when asked about the priest.
