Jack immediately directs her previous magic to the elderly female, but only stops her scanning upon sighting the two cloaked male humans. Hearing the noise of the city watch being summoned, she refocuses her efforts on checking on the condition of the halflings in hopes of stabilizing their conditions with her Healer's Kit(10 uses) until Kanus or someone else eventually gets to them. That is, assuming their even alive by the time she gets to them...

Kanus et all, you retrieve the weapons from the respective individuals, however as you check each you find that there are no survivors at this point. All are dead before you reach them (and probably were killed on impact). As you're removing the blades from the two humans you notice one has a black, winged snake tattooed on his right forearm.
Gargan: Based on the characteristics of the explosion and the resulting damage you are positive this was caused by a Fireball spell, seemingly coming from the east.
Once Jack and presumably Cloudfur seen to those they could heal or stabilize, her attention shifts to looking for any signs of someone too calm or fleeing the scene of the crime. If she can spot them, it is her intent to pursue him or her. But if not, she tries to get a few words out of someone revived by magic on what they saw happened in the area. Starting with the halflings, and then it is time for her to make herself scarce as the noise of city watchment grows to close.

Realising that this was a magical attack Gargan leaves his companions to tend to the wounded and moves towards the east, looking for any sign of someone who might be capable of such an attack. As he moves he points to Jack and speaks to her, ignoring the fact that she has changed form for now: “This Attack was magical, can you sense anything?”
Jack doesn't answer, or shows any sign of having heard him. Not at first, at least, but after casting one last worried in the last direction she heard or expected the watch to come, her eyes turn into pitch black and light consuming pools. While still keeping towards the outskirts of the road, Jack scans the scene once more for any significant trace of magic. Then narrows her focus upon sighting a source to discover its school and possibly approach it.
OOC: I forget has anyone mentioned this black winged serpent? I, as a player, know what it is but I don't think Kanus has been acquainted. (Int Check in case it's needed: 9)
(OOC - well seeing as I think you might be the only one who saw the Zhent tattoos (maybe Jack did?) unless you mention it I don't think we as characters would know they were zhents yet - but that doesn't surprise me seeing as we've kinda pissed them off already once - and I think they think we have the stone of golor)
Jack, you do pick up a small aura emanating from a young human standing near the entrance to a building beside a rain barrel and near the four halflings. He seems visibly upset by what's going on but he does not look injured.
Jack looks away as soon as it felt appropriate and closed her eyes. Opening them once more to more "normal" tones, she gives Gargan a subtle gesture towards the boy as she made her way over to him. "Excuse me, young man. You're unhurt?"The half-elf feigns a sigh of relief and reaches out to pat the young man on the shoulder. "Thank Chauntae. You didn't see what happened, did you?" The 'elf' asks worriedly. "It wasn't one of those foolish gang members wasn't? The ones that's been going around making a fuss lately. Oh dear. I hope they didn't leave anything else dangerous behind."She says. All in an act of hoping to coax the young man into maybe clearing things up.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Gargan
Having picked up on Jack's gesture towards the boy Gargan gives a nod in return and moves over towards the boy, checking the immediate area around the boy as he goes. He looks in particular for any potential escape routes should the boy choose to run and attempts to place himself in a position to prevent an easy escape.
The boy is visibly shaken, and his voice shudders when he speaks "I .. I was walking through here with my friends - I just fell behind a little bit and when the explosion happened I ducked behind this barrel. When I looked up over it to see what was going on, this fell right in front of me into the barrel .. "
He holds out his hand with what looks like a small necklace. the clasp is broken and there are two small beads hanging from it. A third loop is beside them and it's fairly obvious there was another bead there as well.
Gargan, you approach to keep an eye on him. He certainly could run down the road behind to the east, but he doesn't seem to be making any moves, and you get the impression he is being genuine.
Jack puts her hands up to her mouth. "Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear... May I?" She asks plaintively, extending a hand in offering to take the necklace. "I'll be sure to get it to the to the authorities. You don't-.... Are you sure that's all you saw? Just this? Not the one who threw it in?" She asserts, taking his shoulder briefly for a gentle hold. "Please. They will know this as well if they're to catch the one responsible. And that thing there? That's the key."

Cloudfur's spectral flying monkey just zips around the injured healing them while he investigates where the explosion came from.

Hmm I think this wasn't really an explosion....perhaps its a group hallucination

The spectral flying monkey, saddened that no one is alive, flies back over and sits on Cloudfurs shoulder, gives the tabaxi a hug and then fades away.

"I .. well I was going to keep it but if you think it's important.." He hands it to you. "I guess the Watch will need it to find the bad guys.."
Gargan, this bracelet is the sole source of magic you detected on the child.
At this point the arrival of the authorities is imminent. If there is anything else you wish to do/say/check/whatever, speak now...

Do we think the watch may still be looking for us? If so Cloudfur heads back to the manor
