With the rakshasha subdued for the moment, Dain stands up and brushes off his robes. "Of course you may fully count on my help to find Lord Alistair and to return him home. Unless you have some idea of what he may have done to bring the attention of rakshashas upon him, we may be forced to investigate everything this creature tells us. Will it respond to torture?"

Seeing the immediate threat concluded, Saalin retreives his wand and asks for the return of his rapier from Oz. He glances at their current host. "Kahlia, you will need you wounds tended." He then glances around the room and at their captive. "There are means to compell one to speak truth, but I doubt magical or mundane means would be effective." Glancing to the spot where Alistair vanished, se continues, "No, what we need is a means to either track the teleport to its source or a scrying to locate the Lord Reverend's current whereabouts."

Drue moves over by Kahlia to speak with her. "Tell us your suspicions, it will help narrow our search. We should also look for a journal or notes on recent activities that would provide a clue as to what he was doing that drew the ire of the fiends. Would he keep that information here, in a study, or in his bedchambers?"

Oz returns the rapier, then retrieves his own blade.
"Hareil is right, perhaps this scene of battle can give something to guide our questioning of the ugly interloper."
Oswin then procedes to help Hariel search the room.

Dain will also begin to take a look around the room. He will focus his search for any papers, journals, or books that are in the middle of the room (ie. either on a table or on the floor if it had been located on a table that was overturned). "Yes, please tell us your suspicions. After all, we must start somewhere."
(I don't remember all the extra stuff Investagative does for a crime-scene search check, but with a pair of Aid Anothers, Hariel has a modified 35 on her roll -- or rather, the result of a little bit of script that picks a random number from 1 to 20; I don't have dice@work)
Hariel, Oswin, and Dain find a very extensive collection of notes and journals, not surprising considering what you know of Lord Alistair. Drawings of various types of demons, devils, and other fiendish creatures, with notes on their vulnerabilities. Procedures for embedding divine properties into weapons. A very well-made flametouched iron saingham with a note that said "remember to give this to Dain" on it. Notes on dozens of different types of magical items.
Hariel also finds a very cleverly hidden drawer at what appeared to be Alistair's main workstation.
"I'm only guessing at this, you understand. Putting together obscure rumors with what I know of my father's work. Have you heard of the Aregentum?" She asked.
Saalin, Hariel, and Dain failed thier checks and know nothing.

Oswin nods and says,
"Yes, I have worked with one of their agents in the past. They are The Council of Cardinals treasure hunters and relic experts. Why do you ask."

"I was afraid you might think I was jumping at shadows. It's hardly common knowledge that it really exists -- I really don't have any proof that it does. But if it does exist, I think that father is part of it. A very important part, in fact. It connects the dots on so much of what he's done quite nicely." Kahlia said. "And it explains why the Lords of Dust would take a personal interest in a minor rural theocrat."

While looking through the papers that have been discovered, Saalin looks up to address Kahlia. "Perhaps, Lady ir'Indari. Perhaps the information my comrades have found would be of use. Mayhap they may detail whom to contact with regards to this matter. However, I must insist that you, Ava, and Hariel see to your wounds soon. Though I doubt another attack is imminent, it heeds to be prepared." He pauses for a moment, lost in thought. "It would also be beneficial if the aide of a diviner could be sequestered for tracking the Lord Reverend's whereabouts."
Saalin, looking at the papers that have been found, tries to rack his brain to find what information he can on the Argenteum. He also suggests somone examine the secret drawerer Hariel found, and that they should examine the magical item notes as well.
[SBLOCK=Mechanics]Saalin will attempt to use the documentation to assist his Knowledge (religion) check to find out anything he knows about the Argenteum, esp. w.r.t. who may run it. After that, he'll apply his Knoweldge (arcana) and Spellcraft into investigating the notes on magic items.[/SBLOCK]
