Stee nods "I agree with you Aizashi. Back and forth is getting us no where."

"There nothing up here and down is the only way. We might have explored half the level below us."

Blornvid takes a break from watching the orcs to see what the others are doing. He hears what Aizashi has to say and nods. "You want to know why he was stabbed to death. Figuring out who did it, could explain the why. If it was a beast, it would've eaten him. If it was a rival, why not take that staff you found? If it was a guardian for the fountain, why leave the body here? As a warning?
"If you've searched his body and this room and have not found any other clues, then it may be a mystery we can not solve here and now. We will have to find the answers." He smirks and gives a nod towards Cords. "Perhaps, we need to confront the cackler down below."

A few clarifications:
- The orc was not stabbed to death. The holes are round, as if caused by a head-less arrow. They were not caused by arrows, blades, or spears. Based on his experience around Skeeve, Blornvid is pretty confident these are made by magic force attacks.
- The staff is well constructed and likely has some ceremonial purpose, but it isn't magic. The dagger wasn't magic, either.
- You have not fully searched the orc. Only his weapons were removed. He was not searched after the revival failed. Elyse did detect some magic on the orc's person, but no one has followed up on that, either.
- Your current mysteries are: the shuffling and cackling on the floor below, finding the small golden sword token, and what the orcs are up to. Also, there is a basement you haven't checked yet.
