Liam stares around the room for a second.

"But there's no exit. . . "

Then suddenly remembering he whirls around facing empty air.

"You, 'not a foe'. Do you know anything? Did you see the king?"
 

Victor kicks a dead body to break the illusion.

"I don't know much, admittingly," he said. "I saw the king earlier at a gathering of dignitaries, but didn't speak directly with him."

Victor paused only momentarily. "Is this kind of violence common here?"
 

"Probably!" The dwarf grunts in answer to Victor's question, his opinion of anything not dwarven coming through.

Now, with a moment to look around a bit, you all easily notice the splatter of blood on the chair. Then you see a trail of blood drips across the floor to the right most bookcase along the northern (top) wall...
 

Sel, worried about his friend talking to thin air is all the more shocked to see someone emerge from that thin air. "Who in Enber's name are you?" he asks.

"Is this kind of violence common here?"
"It shouldn't be. It should be peaceful. But dark forces are at work, and traitors seem to sprout like mushrooms recently. Wait, do you see that trail?" Sel notices the blood, and takes a closer look at the bookshelf.
 

"I am just a student. You should consider me no more or no less than what that entails. And call me Victor."

He follows the trail cautiously and tried to make what he could of the bookcase from a distance.
 

The dotted trail of blood ends at the edge of the bookcase... and in fact, one of those dots is cut in half at the bookshelf itself, apparently running under the bookcase.
 

"And how long have you been here, watching?" Sel calmly asks as he tries to determine if he can simply move the bookcase away. If that is the case, he'll ask Krueger for help.
 

Liam stands aside and waits for the heftier types to see what is going on with the bookshelf. Meanwhile he takes a look over the fallen guard to see if there is anything on him of value, or informational use, like a neatly written memo explaining who he was working for.

Sel'Tarien: [sblock]To your eye, the bookshelf looks awefully heavy, but it does seem to be a freestanding piece of furnature (ie. not built into the wall). However, you are quite sure by now that the bookshelf has some kind of magical quality that allows it to move aside somehow to reveal a secret passage. What triggers that, however, is unknown to you for the moment.[/sblock]

Liam: [sblock]Looking over the Vile Guard's Stuff, you find nothing that a normal guard of Enbertont wouldn't have. He does have 24 gp and 82 SP on him in a small pouch. His sword you KNOW is different, even if it looks completely normal. It radiates a strong necromantic and vile aura.(ala detect magic)[/sblock]
