A sample of the dust reveals, much as he suspected, disintegrated human pieces, tainted with Beyonder power. The rings were all but glowing with it, designed to massively enhance the user's physical capabilities, (+10 to all physical scores) as well as lend them specific additional powers, such as the shadow teleport, but the ring will rapidly drain the user's life force, burning them out in only a few hours, and disintegrating them utterly. It can't be ended once used, either; once activated, even if the ring is removed, the life force will be burned away in a few days, at the most.<br/><br/>Investigating doesn't reveal anyone in the city who seems to have planned this; the constructs have been keeping good tabs, and found nothing either before, or after the attack, to implicate anyone.<br/><br/>Curiously, while Draiss is in the city, he'll hear a report of an odd incident. Roof tiles fell off of three different, nearby buildings, all at the same time, shattering in roughly the same spot in the street. In and of itself, not entirely impossible... but the fact that the shattered pieces arranged themselves into the symbol of the Archdragon most certainly is.
