"A very impressive operation! I have heard many tales of House Vadalis mage bred animals, particularly the horses, but special bred trees? That is quite extraordinary!"

Eixek, goes a bit wide-eyed when he figures out where Tillingtion is heading.
“That’s our Proprietary Research Laboratory! It’s where the magic happens, if you will. It is unfortunately off-limits to unauthorized personnel. The tour doesn't go in there, as much as I would love to see it for myself, hah!”
After regaining his composure, he goes in for the sale.
"Our animals are quite amazing, and they can be yours! For a small price. That building next to the barn here is a sales office, and if you are ready, we draw up the documents for you post-haste. If the Whitewood is what you are after, we can ship your order off to the Lumber Yard, we grow the trees here in any dimensions you need! And I can assure you it will show up as that vibrant white color no mater how you cut or shape it! Most anything here is available to purchase today, and I will be more than happy to help you with the process!"

GM: So you have likely figured out where you want to go next, the only question is how do you get there?

"Thanks so much," says Tillington to Eixek at the end of the tour. "We'll probably sit and have a drink before we make any decisions. You'll be around, yeah?"

Assuming that Eixek leaves them to talk freely, Tillington shares what he is thinking.

"These animals are pretty great, and some of those dogs could serve a s a mount, I figger. But for now, my mind is turning to that research lab. Is it bad that I want in just because I've been told I can't? But it also makes me wonder if everything is right with the way those animals are made. I've not seen nuttin like them before.

"Is anyone else curious? If not, I can let it go."
 

"What else do you have?" Ozzar is gruff but seems genuinely interested.
"Even if I cannot afford something NOW doesn't mean I won't be later. And knowing prices is to have a target to meet."

Maladiel nods to Tillington when they are left to sit down in private without eavesdropping Vadalis people. Of course a gnome figures out where the secret stuff is located! Mal himself didn't even think about it until Tillington noted the research facility.

"I think it's a good place to start looking. I'm not sure how to go about it, however; I could keep that fellow occupied with an intended purchase agreement, or create a magical distraction, but how do we get into the place?"

I plan on living forever. Or die trying.
"Why do you want to go there? Isn't the idea to find out what's causing dino disappearance? And not find out House secrets?"

"Well," Maladiel turns to Malix with a smile, "I suspect we may find clues right there in the facility. It's the most likely place, I think. Or do you, or anyone else," and the half-elf looks at each in turn, "have a better idea of where to look?"

His tone is sincere and inviting, he is not mocking the question but truly asking for input.

In particular Maladiel looks to Ozzar, as the watchman may have a better concept of where to look for clues.

"We make an ambush near where they hold the animals. We intercept and quietly disable those who come. Bring them out for questioning. I don't believe this is an outside job. There has to be help from the inside for the animals here are smart and some probably watch as well as humans. And with more senses."
