Smashed World, Part II

Durban

Durban will use his bird's-eye view to watch those leaving the manor house - paying close attention if anyone might be the captured youth or the mayor himself. Something strikes me odd about his reaction how can he sleep now?

Lorcan follows the others outside, and begins looking for tracks, starting on the ground just below Chendra's window.

(Wilderness Lore (or Survival, if we've switched to 3.5 without me noticing) +9)
 

Lorcan
As you inspect the ground under the window, carefully making your way around the sharp shards of glass on the ground, you find no evidence of anybody passing upon it, nor are there any marks of ladders or similar, which would be needed to reach the window without magic or psionics.

Durban
You can see no sign of either the youth or the mayor, just the patrol groups that were sent out and the occasional person peeking out of their door to see what the ruckus is about.

Horros and Haplo
While Lorcan is busy inspecting the ground itself, you look around, looking for obvious signs of passage and possible hidden persons. But the only thing you find is a glass shard the size of a palm breaking under Horros's boot.
 

"Hmm, odd that the glass as fallen outside the window. It would suggest that the window was broken from the inside, which is curious to say the least, given the situation we are currently surmising."

Lorcan makes his way around the remainder of the rest of the house, looking for any sign of passage.
 

"Hmm, don't you think it's also strange that there's only this piece of glass. There should be more if a window was broken?"

Horros picks up the piece of glass and checks if it's glass used on windows.
 

Durban

Durban will scale down the wall on the side where the window was broken, looking to see if the mayor's daughter was perhaps lowered a floor instead of climbing to the roof.
 

Why would the glass be outside? This could only mean that someone broke out instead of in, or someone with very good equipment and technique was able to cut through the glass. We will have to check with Durban if his psicrystal noticed anyone go into the wash room before the mayor's daughter.

"Horros, I concur. But what I want to know is how and who."
 

All
Just a matter of clarifying: there are a lot of glass shards on the ground, Horros merely stepped on just one.

Lorcan
Moving around the house, you can't really tell if any footprints you find would belong to uninvited visitors. You can clearly identify that certain footprints belong to groups of guards leaving the manor, but the rest might as well be those of a gardener as those of an uninvited visitor.

Horros
As far as you know, the glass probably is window glass.

Durban
While there are windows on the ground floor, none of them are open or look like they could be opened from the outside.
