Bala

Bala squats to assist with the investigation of the dead guard. Her voice is low.

Huh. A spellcaster, obviously. Anyone mind if I grab these?

She holds up a small pouch - easily recognizable to those who cast spells - and a wand.

Keeps you safe from the nasties, at least for a few seconds.

She lays out the other items they recover. Points at the dagger, and nods at Vyk.

Hey, hobbo. You were good with that sparker, but maybe you want a knife as a backup, eh?

She steps back as the others check out the remnants.

There's some kind of effect at play here that makes it easier to sense a magic thing's properties. Hopefully, we can make that help us. Then...well, I don't know who this Argos is, but I'd rather not find out. I say we get going the other direction.
