Leadership test to command the Detectives to stay busy at the scene for 24 hours:

Charisma 4 + Leadership 4 + Higher Rank 3 (At least the detective probably thinks so) - Suspicious 1 [limit 4 + 1 for Armor] (10d6.hits(5)=6) 6 5 hits with limit

EDIT: sorry I missed Koshneks post while I was putting together my long IC post.. If we need more time I will edit my IC actions.

[Koshnek]

Sorry it took me so long. I've had a hectic weekend, lol. I'm actually posting from what's my sister in law's birthday crawfish boil as we speak, haha. After the bash, I'll review your post and edit mine as well...

Until then:
Assessensing to view the wall and determine if magic was used.
Assensing the wall damage: 19d6t5 4
I took two dice off to account for being distraction.

If that fails, Thorn will drop out of Astral Perception and examine the wall physically.
I took -2 off for distraction, but I have a low-light flashlight, so do I need to take any additional points off?
Using Perception against the wall: 12d6t5 6

And finally a SUT to see if I can figure out what happened based on what I gather from looking at the wall:
SUT Knowledge check against the wall: 7d6t5 2
Edge to reroll misses: 5d6t5 2 (2/3 Edge until further notice)

I think it could be pretty important for us to know how the wall was taken down when we find these guys, so I'll go ahead and sacrifice one of my few points of edge!

Edit: I read your post real quick. Everything looks like it matches up for the most part..think you could move the bit about closing the link to after my post, though? If not I'll edit mine some after the party.

@Scawire I would prefer to be given a chance to respond to your questions before you assume I would give information I haven't put out myself.

[Scawire]

Sorry about that just get a bit rushed at times, I've edited the post.

[Ravensoracle]

No problem that post was a gut reaction sorry to come across as an asshat.

@Koshnek: You assense the wall and find obvious evidence of magic. Though the astral signature has long since faded, you recognize the work of a Shape Material spell. A magician used magic to remove this wall in an expedient fashion, though why you aren't sure.

When you switch back to normal perception, you notice that the edges of the wall are scorched by the same explosives that burned out the entire room with the two victims. The wall was already torn open when the explosives went off.

You are now both back in a Passive Link and the distraction and buzzing is gone. You are still able to communicate telepathically while Passive, it just takes a Free Action like any other speech.

@Not sure how to respond to your post IC post. When did you approach me cause the last part of my ost puts me standing next to the two KE detectives trying to tell them to stay put for a while. Did you want to talk to me in front of them verbally?

[Koshnek]

Hmm. Were you talking to me? We kinda posted at the same time, so I was going to see if you wanted to edit it so that you closed the link down sometime after my post. But I  edited mine to fit better with yours. I think my post came out kind of akward this time, but I think it'll do.

Everything in my most recent post is edited, and I think I'm done with it. I have to take a shower, I have company coming over. I was told I will be working 11 am-7 pm central this week, so I may be able to get my next post up in the early AM before I go to bed. (Ill probably go to bed between 3-4 am central, depending on how tired I get between then and now).

My post will detail the collapsing wall. I assume we intend to let the locals handle the surrounding buildings? Between the Detective and Stix, that seems to be the plan. Thorn wouldn't mind being left behind to check out the buildings, but I don't think a firewatch team would ever leave a man hanging like that :p. He's not able to astrally project, either.

[Ravensoracle]

Sorry  I meant to post at Scawire

[Koshnek]

May I ask what the wall was made of? Like is it brick, plasteel, concrete? Also, can I tell if the magician deliberately ripped the wall down? Or do I notice that it seems more like they opened a hole in the wall, and then the wall later collapsed from instability?

Going by the picture alone, it seems like the magician probably took the wall down intentionally.

The wall is old brick, nothing fancy like plasteel. It looks like it was deliberately ripped down.

Sorry I've been MIA.  Work has been crazy recently and my wife and I have been doing a lot of volunteer work recently on top of that.  I know I've got a responsibility to this commitment as well, and I'll get a post up tomorrow.  I should be able to get back to 1 post a weekday again.

[Scawire]

@raven I'd say I don't want to ask anything when the detectives or anyone else not in the team could hear so I'll shadow you until you are out of their ear shot.

[Ravensoracle]

@Scawire Fair enough I put up a big post so I didn't want to catch you off guard. I've gotten real busy tonight so I'll get something up tomorrow.

[Koshnek]

Did we pinpoint the location of the fire in the room? Or only that it was it was started by an explosive?

Edit: Ignore the edit. Being we were actively linked during the investigation, I went off of the OOC information.

Edit 2: Con roll to hide our bond from Skynet in my text.

Con roll against Skynet: 13d6t5 1
Lol, bombed. Oh well, I'm sure he'll find out sooner than later anyhow :p.

Edit 3: Hmm, I just realized this, but we're assuming that the Elf was a mage aren't we? I just went back through some of the IC and OOC, and I don't think Ryo ever actually noted that she was, and I didn't ever specifically assense the Elf.

Edit 4: Hate to make assumptions, but I guess we're left with that now unless stix wants to quickly run back to the building by projecting and check the elf's corpse out.
