The Search Continues
OOG: No problem, guys. I only regret that I didn't get on this sooner. Anyway, on to the game itself!
The Ground Floor (Ridik)
Ridik searches the kitchen and finds his suspicion rewarded. The kitchen exit has been recently used. The intruder appears to have escaped from here. The question remains: what was he here for exactly?
The Ground Floor (Richard and Lucien)
Lucien, looking for a source of light, moves over to the fireplace area. The tracker is just in time to see Richard ignite a newfound candle with the final throes of the fires. Richard had just found the candle after rummaging through a few drawers (and almost considering breaking a table leg or two for a make-shift torch).
Ignatious' brother is sound asleep as suspected.
The Secret Room (Rinya and Gardner)
Rinya and Gardner find that no one as of yet as penetrated the sanctum of the secret room.
Ao'Thuir
The doors to the children's rooms and Heather's bedroom are unlocked. ao'Thuir's concern for the children is rewarded with their fright at the wood-elf's abrupt appearance.
"What is going on here?" Heather demands of the Elf, having recovered quickly from her fright and sliding into anger.
