As you step through the portal, you appear in a relatively small room which is furnished with an impeccably clean and organized desk and stylish, if a bit dated, furniture. In the middle of the room is a dead troll, covered in odd wounds of an indeterminate nature mixed with a few slashes. From the gear you see on it, the troll must have been some kind of spellcaster.
Standing over it is a swarthy man with a black handlebar mustache whose features seem a bit too symmetrical and perfect to be entirely human. In one hand he holds what appears to be a dull grey butcher knife, and in the other a scimitar wreathed in smoke, which curls around the man and obscures his features somewhat. He wears armor of an odd design, and the black cowl of his cloak is covered in arcane symbols stitched in silver thread (which those of you familiar with such things recognize as symbols indicating warning, danger, and premonition). As your group appears in the room, the symbols immediately flash with a red light and he calmly turns his gaze from the troll to you.
Roll initiative, as well as any knowledge, martial lore, or other skill checks you care to make. Also, do any of you have any constant Arcane Sight effects or anything similar?
