That it was drawn with fresh blood from a dead man and coils against the sun may point to necromancy; alternately, it could have something to do with the lingering conjuration aura I detected earlier. This further points to some outside influence on the ethereal attackers. I do not think they have any propensity for spellcasting, although I get the feeling you would know that better than I, Arrgha'n."He pauses for a moment, cocks his head, then pulls a sheet of parchment and a piece of charcoal from under his shroud and kneels down to examine the blood-spiral again. He very carefully reproduces the spiral for his notes, paying careful attention to every seemingly-ragged bend and curve, then stands up and tries his luck at getting information from the Watchmen.OOC: Hey, it's some kinda ritual, right? Of course Valerian wants a copy!After he's made his copy, he'll bring it to the attention of the Watch, then see what information he can find out about the 'kingsflower leather' and about what the Watch knows of this string of murders. All his social skills are +0, for the record, except for Sense Motive which is +2.</blockquote>
