this is a low-flying panic attack
Diggory looks at Robinson. "I'll warn the others. I trust ye to do what ye think is best." Moving to the bathroom, he opens the window and whistles to get the attention of the folks in the yard. Once this is accomplished, he says in a harsh whisper, "The front door!" He then quickly moves to a position at the top of the stairs where he can see down, but hopefully can't be seen, revolver at the ready.
OOC: Just in case...

"Um..." Trevor says uncertainly, "Here!" He hands the odd thing to Pastor Miller (blunt end first) and strides quickly back into the house. He makes his way to the front door, assuming his best "in charge" persona. He pauses at the door to allow the others to get into whatever position they choose.
[OOC: is there a sidelight or other way to see who is at the door without opening it?]

Diggory ventures partway down the stairs and sits on his haunches, pistol held ready. Trevor enters the hall through the kitchen and slowly approaches the front door, pausing a moment to peer out the narrow window to the side. Standing on the step to the house is Inspector Longtree.
"It's alright, it's Longtree," Trevor half-shouts up to Diggory. Almost as soon as he opens the door, Longtree strides in and closes the door behind him. "So, have you lads... aughh!" he says, covering his nose. "All these years on the force, you never quite get used to that smell, do you, Jamison?" He pauses to compose himself and warily uncovers his nose. "Any case, Dr. Westcott'll be wanting to see you whenever possible. He found some... unusual things when he was checkin' out that blind fellow. As I was saying, have you lads found anything here?"

"Hmm," says Longtree thoughtfully. "About so long?" he holds his fingers apart. "Ahh," he says as Pastor Miller approaches through the hall. He reaches out and takes the knife and appraises it carefully. He nods to himself. "I assume from the smell Mr. Oldacre's not in any shape to speak to us? This knife is... well, to be frank, it's the second one I've seen today."

Diggory relaxes. "Get used to it? I should hope not. If I ever get used to it, I'll be rather worried about the state of affairs in the world." Diggory listens quietly to the conversation about the knife. When appropriate, he notes the body upstairs as well as the white candles.

Robinson had moved to the side of the body and given in a good visual inspection, looking for any obvious signs as to the cause of death. Finished his look over, and hearing everyone's voices from downstairs, he cracked the bedroom window to try and air out the smell then heads downstairs to join the others.
