deception: 23

As Omik is on the roof, would I spot any reinforcements or something of the sort in the area?

Perception: 17 

You don't see anyone else that seems to be associated with the men. You would also assume that now that the Duke is dead, any reinforcements would have left.

Still unable to see anything, Y'reth turns to Saiba (I think they are fairly close together?) and says, directly into the man's mind in order to bypass the issue of the noisy crowd, Pardon me, but did they just say the Duke is dead?  She lifts her hand and wiggles her fingers in a strange sort of wave to ensure he knows it's her that's talking to him.

(Awakened Mind is gonna be fun though)

(Fancy Schmancy)

Taking note of the others who are investigating the bodies Val bends down to see if he can find any markings or identifiers. 

Investigation- 17

I would also like to see if I can get a guards attention. "Guard" *small wave of hand*

The duke is dead? Saiba thinks concernedly as the news, shouts and cries begin to spread throughout the crowd.  As he thinks on what he should do, he hears a strange voice in his head.  Looking around for a moment, he sees a tiefling woman next to him doing some sort of interpretive dance before realizing that it was her voice he had heard.  Responding to her out loud (because I don't think your ability allows me to respond back?), "It seems to be the case miss but I do not know for sure."  After pondering for a moment he'll then add, "I think I may go ahead and see if I may be of any assistance if you'd to come along." 

(It does not!)

"I'm Y'reth," she chirps aloud as she moves closer, gesturing for him to go ahead. Being rather short, and having already failed at trying to push her way to the front, she's certainly more prepared to follow someone with a better chance at getting through the crowd. "I'll follow you, if you can get us through this crowd," she tells him, pushing up on her toes as she tries to look around again. 

"Saiba," he replies with a friendly nod as he begins to politely move his way forward, "It's a pleasure to make an interesting new acquaintance but I wish it were under different circumstances.  Hopefully this is just some sort of misunderstanding." 

Spoones, you find that each of them men has a scimitar, an amulet, and a book. The amulet has a strange, Y-like symbol, and the book is written in a language that you cannot understand. It seems to be written in phrases or stanzas, though.

The guards begin to shoo the crowd away. "Alright move along. We have this under control. Any news will be released as we learn of it."

(i assume i find nothing from that awful roll)

giving an obvious passing glance to weizol(probably spelt that wrong) and val on the way back to the bar

"lunatics" he says to himself while he doesnt whisper but he doesnt shout it either.

*pockets a book and amulet*

I will keep an amulet in hand to give to the guard if he notices and asks what I found. 

"Guard, who will be in charge of the investigation?"

Roll Sleight of Hand first.

Weizol only furrows his brow at the passing stranger. Was their leader not loved? Why does he think a foreigner attempting to intervene is mad? He shakes his head after a moment, content to attribute it to just another *human* behavior. 

He stands up. "Gods... Does this happen often in human cities? No wonder you're so secretive."

(ooc- and there's the fighter in me)

whim is going to go back into the bar and wants to see who is still here

perception: 11

One of the guards notices you trying to take the book and amulet. "Hey, stop that. That's evidence." He takes it from you. "This is a crime scene, and we can handle this. Now run along."

(Mobile~)

Y'reth follows after Saiba through the crowd. "Well, it certainly sounded like someone was murdered, if the crowd's panic is any indication," she muses, then shrugs. "Pity, if it was the Duke. I hear he wasn't half bad, as far as the rich go."

Crow will look for something she can climb in order to get a better view of the crime scene, and if successful, will seek out a fellow adventurer who might have seen what happened.

 "Fair enough. When you can't figure it out I'll be at the bar enjoying a drink." 

"Weizol, care for a drink? I think the excitement is over for now." 

*with a furrowed brow Val starts back toward the Golden Dwarf, racking his brain to see if he knows anything about that amulet with the 'Y' symbol*
