She pleads, crying.  She pushes herself as far under the stall, into a small crevice between crates as she can fit, making herself as small as possible.She's making an uncomfortable amount of noise and you are woefully exposed.(pretty good picture, except the girl is INSIDE the stall)[ATTACH=full]411781[/ATTACH][SPOILER="GM"]This is a social challenge.[SPOILER="TL;DR"]TL;DL1. Each person Decide what you are doing first:  Helping calm the girl or looking at/grabbing loot.(your action can be an aid action to give someone advantage on any roll, obviously)2. Make your roll (this action takes 1 minute)3. Pray.[/SPOILER]If you want to rescue her, you have to convince her to come with you.  More importantly, you need to convince her to BE QUIET.  You are, literally, in the middle of the market and not in a building.  You could try knocking her out but that would automatically be noisy and it could kill her unless you have some non-lethal way of doing so.Or you could leave her.  Your choice.I have a system for changing her attitude that I won't explain here.Her attitude is currently Uncooperative.But basically,It will take 1 minute and it's a DC 12 with an appropriate check.  The better you do, the more cooperative she'll be and the less time it will take.  You can't crit fail or make it worse but you things will definitely get worse if she doesn't quiet down.Loot: If you choose to just grab stuff, I'll roll randomly to see what you got.  You can each grab a drawer of the most expensive loot.  If you want to be picky and find THE BEST stuff, it will take more time.- Any appropriate check to identify useful or valuable things takes 1 minute   Investigation, arcana, history and nature checks will all give you different information.- Every minute I roll a perception check for zombies - which, obviously, will be easier to make if the kid is crying.[/SPOILER][HR][/HR]Cures & CuriositiesThe three of you make it to the rooftops without any problems and the chickens go along their way.  You have to jump from one rooftop to the adjacent one but the span is only a couple feet and even Benny can do it.You notice that there is a small balcony just outside a dormer window that leads to a second floor of the shop.  There isn't much about the second floor:  it's simply a balcony that has a desk with papers and a railing that overlooks the first floor.The window is unlocked - which is good because, as you look through to see the scene below, you see that the front door is barred and there is a table pushed against it.  More concerning is there are people there, lying unmoving on the floor. One person is near the table, by the front door.   You would almost think they were sleeping.  There are several broken potion bottles on the ground and a strange fog hangs low to the ground, just above them.  The room is still and quiet.[HR][/HR]Obviously, add a second floor balcony looking down on this room with a set of stairs going down.  One person has their head on backwards - that is an AI thing.[ATTACH=full]411782[/ATTACH][SPOILER="GM"]Make an appropriate roll  Only look at what you succeed in please!Perception DC 15: [ISPOILER]The fog is touching the people and moving slightly.
