Elthan continues to concentrate, focusing his attention on each cadaver in turn.

(1) The armored corpse to the left is non-magical. His breastplate, however, still shines like new, even though the rest of the ancient armor and his shield seem to have either been badly damaged or rusted. Elthan sees no weapon nearby.

(2) The armored corpse to the right is armored in mostly intact chainmail, which radiates faint abjuration magic. Again, no weapon is visible.

(3) The body propped up against the far wall (still wrapped in a cloak and rotting leather) radiates both faint illusion magic and a bit of transmutation magic.

(4) The kneeling corpse in front of Elthan has auras of conjuration magic and evocation. Because Elthan is close to that body, he can tell that the conjuration magic emanates from a pair of bracers still encircling the skeleton's wrists, while the evocation magic radiates from a thin dagger that unexpectedly appears to have been thrust through the sternum.

(5) The body on the dais (presumably Sethra's) radiates both faint transmutation as well as a slightly stronger aura of necromancy. The aura of necromancy seems to primarily emanate from the black, serpentine scepter/staff he clutches in his bony fingers.

Elthan still stands at the entrance to the room, unwilling to enter (or dismember any corpses) before he has scanned the room fully.


OOC: If anyone is going to specifically look at one of the bodies to obtain a more detailed description, I need to know which character and which body.
