Finnian cautiously moves up to the partly opened door. He brings a spell to mind in case their quarry decides to turn upon them.

Sailing North
For Bertrand and Finnian
[sblock]Bertrand illuminates the hallway with the aid of his fail and both move to the doorway. Opening the door with his foot, Bertrand exposes a scene of disorder and death. The light softly reveals a female laying in a circle of her own blood with various colored poweders about her. A dark glisting object appears to be on her chest. The room shows signs of a struggle but no one is the area other than the female corpse.[/sblock]
For Vadric, Anniston and Jaroth
[sblock]The young officer appears somewhat cowed by Vadric's voice and it's tone of command and stutters " I will go get him". The officer then departs. The room itself begins to take on a cold air as the tempature drops due perhaps to the hole in the ships side that is allowing a considerable draft. On the air, there is a scent of salt and blood that is disquieting to the trio. After several minutes, the Captain appears and demands the the trio's story and why such damage has been done to his ship.[/sblock]

"Good sir," starts Vadric, with a slight bow toward the Captain. "We were able to follow the trail of the murderer after he slew your crewman on the deck above. As it is our sacred duty to protect the innocent, we restrained the perpetrator of this foul crime upon finding him. However, we detected the foul taint of darkness within this cabin and upon investigation discovered these evil men and their dark magics. It is their evil spells that caused this damage." Vadric indicates the men that he considers to be the evil-doers as he speaks.
After giving the captain a few moments to digest this news, Vadric lowers his voice as he speaks his next words. "Evil is strong on this ship tonight, Captain."

"Hell's this boat ride just gets weirder and weirder." Without crossing the circle of blood Bertrand examines the scene and tries to make sense of it. He then carefully searches for tracks. "Finnian, do you recognize her or know what these powders and such are all about?"

Stepping carefully around the scene so as not to disturb anything, Finnian studies the female figure and the accoutrements around her trying to determine what ritual was performed here.
"I don't recognize her right off. I suppose she was one of the other passengers.
"Give me a minute and I may be able to tell you whether she lost control of a ritual or was the victim of one."

Anniston follows Vadrid's comment with his own declaration, "Captain, on my honor it is exactly as the good priest says. A demonic incantation was underway here and only by the power of the Light was it vanquished. Thanks be to the Light that we investigated when we did. But I fear that there is more evil yet afoot. We have just heard a scream from belowdecks and two of our companions have gone below to investigate while we remained here to wait for you."
"Vadric, now that the Captain has arrived with his officers, perhaps one of us should go below and give what aid as we might."

Vadric nods at Anniston's comments. "We should both go. The situation here appears to be well in hand. Captain, please watch these men carefully, and that beast of a shapechanger as well. Jaroth, if you are feeling up to it, your company would also be appreciated."
With the words spoken, the warrior-priest head's off in the direction of Bertrand and Finnian.
