[QUOTE="Cerebral Paladin, post: 1987273, member: 3448"] Session 17 (cont'd): Sister Aurora, Melania, and Lhovrik explain the new information to their friends. They turn to trying to identify the specific building where Desi is being held, while maintaining the stake-out in case Morgan investigates. Melania asks around the neighborhood, hoping to find some neighbor's suspicions. Unfortunately, at least this early in the morning, she is unable to find out anything useful. Meanwhile, Sister Aurora and Lhovrik patrol the area around Olin's building. Lhovrik spends his time hoping to see something obviously wrong. Sister Aurora, for her part, casts Detect Undead, hoping to detect Desi's guards. Lhovrik warns that the lead barriers that blocked the scrying attempts will also block weaker divinations. Much to Sister Aurora's satisfaction, however, she detects a group of weak undead in an old building about a block away from Olin's house. They return to their friends and plan the next step. Ginara and Dove scout the building, carefully hiding in shadows and moving discreetly in an effort to avoid alerting any occupants. The building is a decrepit old house. At one time, it was the home of a wealthy family, perhaps a ship captain, but wealthy families no longer live in this section of Lir Sanek. The house is about 45 feet on a side, with two stories and perhaps a basement. The front door is heavily boarded up, as are the windows that face the street. The scouts pass down the narrow alleys between the house and the neighboring buildings. The house has an alley on each side, both somewhat filled with trash and debris. Neither doors nor windows face onto the side alleys. A backalley runs between the back of the house and the buildings that face the next street over. Some pitiful shacks and hovels stand in the backalley, where the poorest try to make do. One lean-to even abuts the back wall of the house, but Ginara confirms that the lean-to is not occupied and does not conceal an entrance to the building. A backdoor from the house has also been boarded up, but Ginara notes that the boards on the backdoor, unlike on the front door, do not actually extend beyond the door itself. In other words, the backdoor is still probably useable. Several windows also face the backalley on each story, but those windows have been carefully boarded shut, like the front windows. The ground story windows do not look promising for a break-in. Confident that they have discovered the best route in, Dove and Ginara return to their friends. In preparation for the assault, the group casts several spells. Lhovrik makes Ginara, Vannser, and Dove invisible, while Sister Aurora makes Lhovrik, Vannser, and Dove invisible to undead. The group moves into position in the backalley, with the invisible group clustered around the door while their visible allies are somewhat further back in the alley. The group tries to be stealthy as it moves into position, but some are more successful than others. Ginara hurries up to the door. She notes that it has a lock in it, but searches the door for traps before worrying about the lock. She notices three slots in the door, presumably containing spring-loaded weapons of some sort. Her first attempt to block the slots fails, but not badly enough to trigger the trap, and she's able to force some debris into the trap's mechanism on her second try.
