"The owner," Talashia explains with exaggerated patience, "has vanished into the sewers. Exactly who are we afraid of alerting to our little burglery? Why don't we just break the lock and stroll in? Or one of you can pick it. Or a window! Whatever."
She starts off towards the scribist's shop.

Uulark winks at Caerwyn's comment. Then, he replies to Talashia's Longsuffering Response to the Less Quick-Witted: "My dear Talashia, the shop does not exist in a vacuum. There are other shops and other people nearby who might be alarmed to see our unauthorized entry and summon the Watch or worse. But, if you are so convinced that no one else in the city who might see the entry will be surprised to see our burglary or take any action, then, by all means, go right ahead and enter as you see fit."
OOC: Here we see the classic Intelligence vs. Wisdom quandary......
OOC: At English common law, as I seem to recall, "burglary" didn't necessarily involve theft, but was just breaking into a home or other building, and unauthorized entry thereof, by night. Actually, accornding to my legal dictionary, burglary was "the breaking and entering into a dwelling house of another at nighttime with the intent to commit any felony therein." - Black's Law Dictionary, 5th ed.

(OOC - You are correct, sir...and for the record, Talashia isn't really great shakes at either Intelligence OR Wisdom...she just has the attitude of someone who is. 
)
Talashia rolls her eyes, but relents a bit. "Fine...we'll do it quietly then. Whoever wants to help, come with me. We'll meet the rest of you at..."
She frowns.
"Caerwyn, where are we staying again?"
(OOC - Mwahaha! See how I mercilessly put the onus on DeWar!
)

OOC: Well since Talashia PRESENTS herself as the smartest thing around, (since sliced bread?? nah, that doesn't really work, does it?) then Uulark will continue to treat her as if she is, while gently suggesting 'wiser' alternatives (hopefully so, anyway) for her to consider. Uulark's goal in this course of action is to gradually melt through Talashia's icy exterior, and to have her accept him as a friend and able assistant. Certainly not today, almost certainly not tomorrow either, but one of these days....mmmaybe?
"An excellent plan, Talashia! You have once again proven yourself to be an able architect of our sneakiness!" says Uulark with a satisfied smile.
OOC: Ok, CHARISMA vs. Wisdom?? hehe

Up until now, Buurt had been very quiet, perhaps he was unsettled after being out of heavy combat for so long, or perhaps the blows he had been detail by the ogres had addled his mind somewhat, but whatever the reason, the half-orc finally breaks his silence.
"If the watch catches ya doing it, it's a crime," says Buurt. "If. If you've done it and you're inside, knowing that the owner won't be talking out against you, especially after you've rescued him, then it's doubtful that it'll ever be a crime."
"Although I normally don't pop locks," says the former scout. "I've the means to do so, so I can lend a hand, so to speak." With a toothy smile, the half-orc adds, "That way, we can lock the shop behind us and it'll look less suspicious."
OOC
If we pick the lock, I'll aide another. Also, what's my health currently at?
Thanks.

[sblock=Buurt & Rogash]Buurt being a local, and Rogash being here for quite some time, both will note Talishia's statement about the alchemist disappearing into the sewers.
While neither of you have personally witnessed it (thought it's entirely possibly that Rogash might have), the story going 'round is that the missing alchemist was seen boarding up the shop and skipping town in under cover of the night--a might much like tonight, in fact--not that he'd been sucked down into the sewers. Though whether he acted of his own accord is something else entirely.
At least, that's the rumor.[/sblock]
Remember that the shop is boarded up now as well.

"Well if we are going to have a full-blown construction project going on in the streets we will definitely need some sort of diversion or distraction, or else we'll need a shroud of magical energy to cloak the work. Or, we can just march right in during broad daylight with our tools displayed openly and openly start to work. Evidently no one cares much about this fellow anyway, wouldn't you say?"
