(Are Flint and Matrix helping with the Investigation? Go ahead and check if so!)
Back at the site of the ambush, Sanra asks Crownsguard, very cautiously, “So...what exactly are you?”
Crownsguard turns to her, hand still around the man’s throat, “Oh. I am Crownsguard. Hello.” He does a little wave, “I am a construct given sentience from the ancient Netheril empire. However, if you are asking in the more metaphorical sense, I have been told that I am ‘cool.’”

"If anybody asks, this door opened the right way and was barricaded" Matrix will keep an eye on the streets, and an ear open for the sound of moving water.
The interior of the house is dark, with the only source of light being that of the street lamps outside, shining through the now open door.
The house is small, with an entry hall that splits off into a “T” about 20 feet in. Along the entry stretch are two rooms, one to the left and one to the right, both with the aforementioned furniture in various states of preservation and of brokenness...as if someone was trying to keep things nice, but gave up a while ago.
The rest of the house is infested with rats, which scurry away at your approach. There is an upstairs and a downstairs in the house, and a door that opens into the alley in back of the house, where the kitchen is. (The exterior of the house is terraced, so it is just one dwelling in the middle of a row of connected dwellings)
The inside of the house is very cold, but the heat from the attached homes on either side is likely keeping the temperature from dipping below freezing. You don’t initially find any signs of the water elemental.
The hour is late as Crownsguard carries the limp, hairless man by the face down the streets of Yartar, to the abandoned house. Sanra follows, visibly upset. "What's going on? What are we doing?" she asks Crownsguard nervously.
After he arrives there, you all notice that the hairless man has blood coming from his pitch-black eyes and from his nose.
Crownsguard immediately feels for a pulse and will pump in 5 points of Lay on Hands to cure any disease in him, then another point to heal him if he’s unconscious!

"We're sorry, Sanra," Ink says, "We'll get answers from him tomorrow. Flint has ways to ask. Don here wanted to give you a slight make over so that we can secret you to the Waterbaron now and hopefully get your husband a stay of execution. There must be a motive of some kind - was your husband investigating anything? Anything that he brought up that seemed odd or strange? And you need to tell us exactly what happened with Brenner. It seems that neither the Waterbaron nor the guard captains are overly fond of him."
Don closes his eyes and when they open he looks like Sanra. "Have too give her a cloak it something. Then someone want to come with me and we make a very loud run for it?" He shrugs, "unless someone has an idea that doesn't involve he being the bait. "

Sanrio recounts, “We were just taking a walk, and we come across a dead body. Just laying there in the snow. I persuaded Harthal to just leave it alone, and walk away. But next thing I know, we’re surrounded by guards, Harthal is hauled away, and they arrest me too, but then let me go. I found out later that Brenner set him up for the murder, and threatened to have me killed if Harthal didn’t go along with it. That’s the whole story, I swear. Can we please get him out? Now?”

Sanra is moderately unsettled, seeing herself standing there just feet away.

“I see,” says Sanra, still sounding unsure. “That sounds ...intense. What are you going to do with him?” She asks, pointing out the hairless man.

“I have also been told I am intense. As for him, I will likely hold onto him for a while, ask him a few questions, and dispense justice as needed.”

Don goes out and calls to Crownsguard via telepathy when he is close enough. "Bring her in here, I think we found a safe spot, at least for now."

Crownsguard will do so, while still holding the man aloft.

The man has no signs of a pulse, and isn't breathing. Even with the application of Crownsguard's healing power, the man does not revive.
The blood slowly trickles from his nose and his empty eyes down the side of his face.
