The door swings quietly on it's hinges as you knock on it. There is no sound save the keening of the wind and the beginnings of a bit of bustle as the town comes alive behind you. The house is dark. (Did some quick Spot checks for you two: Arlanen got a 25, Alastor, a 4)

Arlanen notices that the hinge on the door swings oddly; it appears to have been bent out of shape. The door itself is oddly scored and dented, as if it has been heavily slammed by some heavy (and sharp) object.

Nobody answers your call of "hello."
 

"I really don't like this."
Arlanen pushes the door further open and peers inside.
"Looks like its been broken into, surely it can't be our fault for asking around, can it?"
 

Alastor - Human Warmage

"Hmm... That is strange... I don't like this one bit either, Arlanen. Somebody else must have been looking for the professor as well." Alastor answers and pulls out his spear.
 

Inside, the house looks as if a storm has gone through. Broken furniture and papers litter the floor randomly. Strange dark patches that look like drying blood are spread about as well in disturbing and unlikely patterns. Fans of sprayed blood ten feet long, for instance, or big patches on the ceiling.

There is a curtain hanging raggedly in a doorway to further rooms in the back. Incongrously, the curtain appears to be in perfect condition--just about the only item in the entire front room that isn't slashed, smashed or spattered with blood.
 


Alastor - Human Warmage

Alastor gets out of Arlanen's way looks into the house to discover the bloody mess.
"By the gods, what massacre happened here...?" He turns a little pale but pulls himself together in order to get to the bottom of this new situation. He covers his nose and mouth with his hands and walks into the house to search it for possible clues as to the whereabouts of the professor.
 


After taking a moment to recover Arlanen heads back into the house, unaware of the brief glow that emenates from her as she passes the doorway, straining her senses as far as she can so she's not caught unawares.
OOC Manifests Precognition, +2 to any one roll in the next 10 minutes, will use on any spot/listen checks to detect an ambush.

OOC: Since it was over 2 weeks since Lord Raven last posted on this thread, and longer still to go back to Harvey it looks like it - I'm enjoying it though.
