Tex remains at the back until the others finish to see whether Vale's brother's situation can be helped. From the back ranks he prepares a ritual for detecting magic as Rel suggests.
Sorry, I'm beginning to enter a vacation period and while I will try to check-in at least daily, I cannot promise that I will always be able to do so. From September 1, I should be back to normal.
Thren, with all of the questions being asked and the distress of Vale, you are having a hard time concentrating on looking over the body.
Bellamy
As you inspect the body, it is indeed cold to the touch. You do not see any signs of breathing. You reach your hand to his neck to feel for a pulse but you feel nothing. You do however, feel two wounds on his neck. Two circular indentations about an inch and a half apart from each other.
Tex
Taking the time to cast detect magic once more on the body while it is being searched, you see the same magical aura as you did before with a heavier concentration around the head.
Zane
Above deck everything is quite peaceful. The sun is shining bright and there is a soft breeze that is very calming. It is a very nice day to be out on the waters, if the circumstances were more normal.
Tex comments his efforts, "There is magic all around the body but its head appears to be a focal point."He tries to concentrate on the head to learn which school of magic emanates.

Thren “well Rel if you wanted to know maybe you stopped asking questions” then he pauses surprise he said that “errm sorry about that Bellamy what do you see”
Thren “well Rel if you wanted to know maybe you stopped asking questions” then he pauses surprise he said that “errm sorry about that Bellamy what do you see”
Rel nods in apology at Thren but asks another question anyway at Bellamy's revelation of the two throat incisions. One word only.
"That would be my guess as well. Which makes me wonder if the boy is truly dead. I mean why would anyone pay us to escort a corpse. There is also the mystery of the magic present on the boy. Can anyone cast Identify?" says Bellamy in a somber tone.
Vale shrieks as Bellamy announces him dead "Dead! But why! NO!" She crumples over in a wreck of tears and screaming. Captain Flame on the Water crouches next to Valeand consoles her. He says to her "Relmay be on to something. He could have been turned into a vampire. Look,Bellamyhas pointed out these puncture wounds on the neck of your brother. It could indicate that he has been bitten. I don't know much on the subject but I have heard tales of this before."Valestops sobbing and crawls over to Vladonce more shaking him, trying to wake him. "Do vampires not breath? Do they not have a pulse? Does this mean he is alive? What can we do for him?"
Zane is looking straight down over the side of the ship and wondering how deep it is and what it would take to measure it. But then how would you put it on a map... the world is interesting.
Tex speaks up, „Zane identified two items moments ago, he might be able to help.“

Tex decides to go upstairs and ask Zane to have a look and possibly identify the source of magic, "Can you come down and help us identify a source of magic we found in the crate?" He decides to leave out the detail that the source might be a vampire bite to avoid creating a panic with the sailors.

Vampires are extremely rare and were thought largely abolished close to 200 years before present day. In few cases, there were murmurs about them. However, as soon as the rumors spread, large mobs gathered, and those afflicted with vampirism were hunted down and killed.
You have heard of the last known vampires to walk Exandria:
Sylas Briarwood, known to have been slain by the adventuring party of heroes Vox Machina.
Count Tylieri, slain by the same group
Ixrattu Khar, claimed hundreds of innocent lives during her killing spree spanning from Kymal to Emon on the continent of Tal'Dorei. She was captured and sent to Black Bastille prison where she is rumored to have escaped during the attack of the Chroma Conclave on Emon. Having fled to an unknown location.
“Well vampires are somewhat rare, if he has vampirism you will need to keep him safe, one of the more notable vaps i ratty Khar she escaped the black bastile prison when the chroma conlade attack emon”
"Keep a potential vampire safe?" Tex asks puzzled. "If he died, will he remember who he was before? And aren't we forgetting that this implies that Lord Augustin is either a vampire himself or works for one. Are we entertaining the thought to cross them so blatantly as to no deliver the crate intact? And what can we do for Vlad? What are our realistic options here?"

The school of magic has not changed. It is still enchantment magic
Thren “well Rel if you wanted to know maybe you stopped asking questions” then he pauses surprise he said that “errm sorry about that Bellamy what do you see”
"The boy is dead. I am sorry Vale. He has 2 wounds on his neck." Says Bellamy. He then turns the brother's head so all can see the wounds.
Rel nods in apology at Thren but asks another question anyway at Bellamy's revelation of the two throat incisions. One word only.

Zane goes back down into the ship, "What.. the... oh boy."
"OK, let me have a look, this will take a bit."
He sits down near the crate and ritually casts identify on it, which takes 11 minutes.
