The Four Lands - The Great North

Jaroth

Jaroth will be the last one out of his cabin. "Cadere Visus Non Cadere Non Visus." Jaroth speaks the arcane words necessary to cloak himself in greater invisibility and exits his cabin, following the others.

Sailing North

Exiting the cabin, the party finds that the scream has awakened most of the passagers on this deck and many are standing in their doorway. Crew members begin to emerge from the lower decks making a somewhat crowded press. Reaching the staircase, the party exits to the main deck to find a crowd of seamen and officers huddled around a form. Approaching the group the party can see what appears to be a manlike form laying on the deck head and arms at and awarkward angle and a liquid substance surronding it. One of the sailors leaves and begis to light more of the ship's laterns and soon a soft light throws back the darkness allowing the party to see. A young man, perhaps 16 or so is laying on the deck, his neck having been obivisouly snapped. His arma are also bent and broken but with an odd looking vertical cuts running the lenght of the arms exposing the bone.

ACtions?
 

Vadric hurridly pushes through the crowd to kneel by the young man's form. He quickly takes stock of the situation, and attempts to save the boy's life.


OOC: If the boy is not dead (although I am guessing he is), Vadric will cast a curative spell upon him. Also heal check +10 to see if Vadric can determine what caused the wounds.
 

Jaroth

Invisibly, Jaroth finds a nearby nook and reaches out with his will to the minds of those assembled, both seen and unseen, with a detect thoughts spell. If a person or creature on board did this gruesome act, his aim is to discover who it was. And assuming persons will be offering information, he should be able to determine whether the speaker is lying.

[OOC: Concentration Check Result = 29 and Spellcraft Check Result = 29 ]
 

Bertrand

Falling back on his training, Bertrand looks for tracks.

OOC: I realize this will be challenging at best given the crowd. Is the liquid substance revealed to be the boys blood once the light is better?
 


Sailing North

The crowd is a healthy mix of sailors and passagners by the time the party reaches there and examines the body.

Finnian
Watching the crowd Finnian observes that the young man and the merchant that had words with Jaroth are both present but hanging back from the crows.

Bertrand
The liquid does indeed porve to be the boys blood. An examination of the area shows a rather large foot/paw print which has been heavily corrupted by the onlookers so it is hard to get a decent look at it.

Jaroth
Stretching forth his sense's Jaroth almost loses his concertration when the prescence of a mind filled with animal blood lust proves to be close by overshadowing most normal thoughts.

Vadric
Vadrics examination of the body show the boy to be truly dead. The arms are unsualy in that the bone has also been split almost as if someone was trying to get to the marrow.
