[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 6024902, member: 40413"] Vincenzo pokes around until a particular glint catches his eye. Investigating further he discovers a gold bead. Sifting through the dirt he finds another, then an amber bead, and finally a broken strand with several beads alternating gold and amber. Whoever this girl was she possessed a fair amount of wealth. Out of respect the foragers step back and stand silently while Maui performs his ritual for the spirit of the girl. The druid is drawn, or perhaps led by the spirits of this place, to look at the body. By the scraps of clothing he sees and the beads that Vincenzo shows him Maui is fairly certain that the child was a member of a Goti clan, perhaps traveled north to Martna to trade. In addition, Maui discovers a strange gouge in the skull as if she were struck by something sharp and jagged; probably the blow that killed her. Denizel circles the copse. Too much time has passed for him to discover any relevant tracks and the proximity of the swoop lizard nest would only serve to further obscure any evidence of that sort. However, as Denizel studies the ground the setting sun causes a gleam to flash for a fraction of a second on the ground near him. Running his hand across a bare patch of earth he finds a roughly triangular bit of black glass about the size of the end of his thumb. Boots sniffs around near the body. Everything smells normal except a very faint scent tickles his nose with a bit of spice with an underlying scent of something else that is old enough and faint enough that he can't quite place it but reminds him of a sickhouse he once passed in Venza. Sylla's fury sends the three foragers scurrying for the camp as quickly as they can go. [/QUOTE]
