[QUOTE="A2Z, post: 126281, member: 244"] [color=orange][b]A Late Night Search[/b][/color] Arriving back at the church the party finds Lincon in their rooms. While Vallan and Ethradan fill him in on their findings, Mericus decides to head to his own room. After hearing of their investigations Lincon and Ethradan decide that tonight would be a good time to sneak onto the Sunbright estate to get a look at the tomb. Sunbright was less than helpful and they both believe that there may be something to find there. Reluctantly Vallan decides to accompany them. Making their way through the city to the Sunbright estate they see many small groups of watchmen making patrols. Thinking that they may prove a problem they decide to let Lincon sneak in to the manor yard while the other two keep a lookout. With a little help from Ethradan, Lincon makes it over the wall and drops in to the yard. Keeping to the shadows and looking around for anyone who might be around the yard he makes his way towards the house. Searching around the manor he finally spots the tomb toward the back of the grounds. As he comes up to the tomb Lincon notices that the heavy marble door has been shattered and lies on the ground in front of the tomb. Keeping an eye open he enter the tomb. Lighting a small lantern he looks around. The tomb consists of a small central room filled with six alcoves for the bodies. One of the alcoves has been emptied. The other five haven’t been tampered with at all. He doesn’t find anything else in the tomb and decides to check outside the tomb. Looking around the perimeter of the mausoleum he finds many footprints, but they most likely came from members of the Sunbright estate. Continuing his search, he notices a small piece of white silk that looks to have gotten caught on one of the rose bushes surrounding the tomb. Putting the cloth in a pocket he decides to head back towards the house.
