D2: Lost Manor (nimisgod judging)

[Dungannon]

OOG: Are you going to check on the chest tonight (as Ridik says) or wait until morning?

Lucien will take a look at the chest at Ridik's request, being careful not to actually open it.

 

[Salix]

Gardner looks outside. There is naught to see but shadow and naught to hear but the sounds of a city asleep. Is he looking for anything in particular

Most of the adventurers from the Red Dragon Inn (except for Rinya and Gardner) gather at the ground floor to share what they've found. It seems that the following has been established:
* The intruder with the feathered hat has escaped using his spellcasting ability
* He wasn't here to harm the scribe or his family (or else decided not to do so yet)
* He was invisibly sneaking around in the third floor with Richard before he showed himself and fought the Swordsman.
* He is skilled with the arts of subterfuge mundane and magical, including sneaking and opening locks.

OOG: Are you going to check on the chest tonight (as Ridik says) or wait until morning?

OOC: He was just checking out the opened door. Since Lucien walked back in before he checked it out, I just figured he would take a peek and convene back inside. He will head upstairs to search the room and fill Rinya in, but won't mess with the chest until he gets healed further (still at 1 HP).

Richard has nothing new to add to this information so he simply resumes guard duty, somewhat less growly, yet his youth is apparent on his sullen face.

"Ridik, if something bad happens when I open that chest tonight, I'd be in a bad spot right? Has Russna granted you more of her blessings?" asks ao'Thuir. He really wants to open the chest, but remembers why he shouldn't, yet...

 

[Velmont]

"No, Russna didn't gave me new gifts yet, it will be tomorrow morning, but we son't open it. I just want to know if someone has touch it. If it is the case, that guy must have reach his goal, as it is teh only reason he could be here. What else could he be doing here? he pass next to us quietly and tried to go up to the chest. If it was of Richard, we wouldn't have known anything." correct Ridik

Lucien and Gardner
After looking around the outside, Gardner ascends to the third floor. Lucien also goes up to the secret room. Ignatious and Rinya are still there.

The scribe looks questioningly at the Half-Elven tracker and his Human comrade. "Did you find him?" He asks nervously of them.

Gardner fills Rinya in (sating the Ignatious' curiosity).

The chest is still untouched as of yet, at least, as far as Lucien can tell.

OOG: Any more actions for the night?

 

[Velmont]

"Ok, let's presume the chest havn't been touch. We are still too weaken to dare to open the chest or to follow that man, who has taken too much distance on us by now. I think doubling teh watch could be usefull." suggest Ridik

 

[Salix]

"Maybe we can see something without actually opening this thing", Gardner says, inspecting the room and the chest without actually touching it. "Lucien, Do we know the exact path the man with the hat took. Is there anyway you could track his movement throughout the house a little more completely? It may give us some clue as to what he either stole, or was after.", Gardner asks the ranger.

Gardner will try to inspect the chest for fresh activity without opening it to see if it was tampered with. He will also look for tracks (footprints, blood) that are from someone other than the party and the owners of the house.

OOC: Can I take 20 on spot and notice? Just noticed lucien already did this, but another set of eyes can't hurt.

 

[Richard Rawen]

Richard settles into a routine. He wanders the ground floor, his sword sheathed and his shield slung over his back. He is unarmored past his base leathers. His mace is stowed with his breastplate, his many daggers still bristle from their unconcealed, easily reached scabbards on his hips, sides and upper thighs. Carrying a shielded candle around with him he is convinced that he will never allow the dandy back into the house.
If I see that feather I'll cut it from his head!
Richard grumbles, shakes his head, checks the next room, windows, door, hiding places, moves on.
No... no... that's no good. Might try that damnable magic again.
The sturdy fighters face darkens, he moves through the main room into the kitchen, double checking the door, again. It is bolted and barred, a chair against the door-handle.
First sign of that blasted mage I will scream 'ALARM' at the top of my lungs and THEN Charge the little bugger!
Apparantly pleased at his decision, Richard doesn't even spend much thought on kicking Ignatious' brother as he passes through the main room once again.
How the heck did he Sleep through all that ruckus!?
That is all the thought of sleep Richard entertains, he has a mission, he has stood two-day-watches before, this will not be difficult.
I won't let them down again.

 

[Erekose13]

"Alright, I guess we'll have to wait. The suspense, especially with this mysterious guy who broke in just to knock poor Richard on the head with a spell, is just killing me. I really want to open the blasted thing now." replies ao'Thuir.
