Examine the pedestal.

[DoctorKaizeld]

The pedestal was a simple metal stand in the center of the room that stood about waist height and was bolted to the floor, a thin layer of dust covered its surface with the exception of a circle in the center where the pot had been and a line of disturbed dust. The pot was quite clearly pushed off of the pedestal.

[PoorlyAged]

Examine the rest of the room.

[DoctorKaizeld]

The cell was just an empty box with nothing of significance.

[PoorlyAged]

Was the pot sealed before it was pushed off the pedestal?

[DoctorKaizeld]

There does appear to have been a lid but Sam isn't sure whether or not it had been sealed.

[PoorlyAged]

Examine the "gray brown dust". Is it ashes of some variety? Is it a fine power or is it coarse and gritty?

 

Are there any markings on the broken pot?

 

Is there a residue of a seal on the lid?

[DoctorKaizeld]

the dust is like a fine powder but not like ashes, comparable to powdered chalk. The pot appeared to be plain with now intentional marking. What appeared to have been the lid did not have any form of residue and seemed rather clean, aside from a thin layer of dust on the exterior side of it.

[PoorlyAged]

Is this dust like a climbing chalk?

[DoctorKaizeld]

Sam had been comparing it to writing chalk but agrees with the voice in her head that it might be closer to climbing chalk.
