He did not answer her, the trip was long and quiet it seemed. Arriving at the Gates of Nald, several Flames, all barring the Watch's patch, were waiting to collect what he and Cian had brought. One approached Cian and Erik, "The Captain would see you both in the cell. She said to bring the girl to her office before you head up to her."
As they were told they dropped Cliodhna in the waiting area maned by Nivivi and continued on to the cell. "Curiouser and curiouser gentlemen." said Juliette as she saw them enter the room, pointing to the shrouded corpse near the door. She continued, "Someone got in here and killed this man, without being seen, and did so without leaving a mark." A small voice rose at her statement, "Not true Captain, there seem to be aetheric burns on his internal organs, and a discolouration here at the base of the skull. It is not a bruise, but a mark of impact regardless." The voice came from Doctor Cronna Nirnna, Chief Forensic Pathologist and Lead Aetheric Researcher for the Watch. Juliette replied, "And what does that tell you Doctor?" The Lalafell was busy with his crystals and instruments, almost not hearing his commanding officer, "Hum? What? Oh.... I would say a pugilist of moderate to decent skill. They augment their strength by channeling aether through their fist and into their targets. This adds damage to their strikes as they can punch past a body's natural defenses and damage the internal systems directly. The Pugilist Guild may have answers for you Captain."
