After his head ceased throbbing, Invaih notices the man trying to run away. "Oh no you don't." He moves out of the copse of trees and dashes quickly after him.
Invaih will dashtwice, once as an action and once as a bonus action from Cunning Action. Moving 3x30ft normal terrain.
Dari realizes that he was letting the murderer escape, and he silently curses himself for letting him. "We'll be back. Keep searching for clues." Dari shapeshifts into a falcon and follows Invah.
Invaih reaches the man. As he passes him, he does a roundhouse kick in the back of the man's knee, also ramming his elbow in his face to send him sprawling in the dirt. Spinning around and pointing at the man with his still drawn scimitar, "Stay down and no sudden moves. We have a few questions for you."
Dari lands beside him, transforming back into his elven form. "Nice job Invah" He draws his spear, holding it at the man's chest. "Now, why? Why did you do it? And why him?"
Artin takes this time to look around slowly, seeing if there's anything around the area of interest. (OOC: Do I need to roll perception here, as I'm thoroughly searching?)
(Yes Artin, make a perception check with advantage please!)
The man looks up at you fearfully, "I-uhh... It wa-" is speech is cut short as his eyes suddenly glaze over in black, he picks up the dagger lying on the ground next to him, and plunges it into his chest. He then falls to the floor, lifeless.

"The hero sought to save the world.
"If I keep trying, I'll be able to win," the hero thought.
But the harder the hero fought, the further the world seemed to tumble away.
Drowning in doubt, the hero could not even save themselves.
Hero, if you still believe in a brighter future, hold in your heart a thorn that can pierce all doubt."
Invaih, frustrated at not having stopped him in time, sheathes his dagger, leans down and pulls out the dagger from the corpse's chest. "Iradari, would you mind looking at our man here? I have a feeling you might be better able to discern what the heck just happened." Deftly spinning it around in his hand, he examines the weapon.
Investigation: 22 Looking for details like the make, a possible origin, religious or arcane designs or runes, etc.

"I don't know anything more than you do... but his eyes glazed over. Black. Something is controlling him. Who, though, I do not know." Dari says, thinking what it could have been.
"Well friends, that was a very strange experience. I have a feeling that we will be seeing more of this in the near future. For now, unless anyone has a better idea, perhaps we should go back to town?"
Erik moves up by Dari. "What did you do...?" He asked softly, trying to alleviate the man's fear.

"He murdered a man." Dari simply says.
The man looks around frantically for a moment, mumbles something unintelligible, then dashes away, screaming madly.

Artin looks at the group, confused. "I'm not sure what happened here. Perhaps we should search the area for any clues"

"Yes. Artin, do you think you know anything about this, other than the fact that it is an altar?"
After his head ceased throbbing, Invaih notices the man trying to run away. "Oh no you don't." He moves out of the copse of trees and dashes quickly after him.
Invaih will dash twice, once as an action and once as a bonus action from Cunning Action. Moving 3x30ft normal terrain.

Artin: Sadly, you have never seen or heard of anything like this.
Invah: With years of practice, you are able to quickly catch up to the man. How are you going to do this?

Invah: You recognize this dagger, you've seen it very recently at The Armory, you assume this man could be one of the murder suspects.

You do not notice anything of huge interest, but the plants surrounding the altar feel cold and lifeless, but appear normal.
