While at the tournament, after the joust is completed, Baron Fharo approaches Alzar – it seems that at an inn a few miles outside of his barony, a wizard was brought in, dead, a few days ago. He failed to be raised back from the dead. The investigation hasn’t turned up anything, and they have struck out on who or how this mage wound up where he did. But the Barony doesn’t have a high level wizard, just some clerics and a druid who were unable to suss things out. He gives Alzar information on the area if he wants to check it out.
The next day, after the tournament ends, Alzar has memorized a more divinatory set of spells, and he teleports to the Inn and then speaks with locals. 6 days before a mage was found dead about three hundred feet away beside some rocks. The Star reveals nothing. Priests were unable to raise him (he failed the roll) and is permanently dead.
They have nothing on him other that his robes and clothes, none of which detected as magical, good or evil, or anything else. They buried him in an above ground crypt, and Alzar is welcomed in, and the Star shows nothing. Speak with Dead magic by the clerics revealed he was a mage, and his named was Ulthun and that he didn’t see how he died. That’s it though.
He heads up with his Flying Carpet over the site, and uses Greater Rhabdomancy, and has his divining rod out. He uses it to locate and find the place where the wizard died. This magic doesn’t exist on Pandius, and Alzar is using his best rhabdomere skills to suss things out.
