"However, while I am their liaison and have final authority when it comes to matters of the general law's of the city." He looks a Vinccenzo. "It is Vinny who decides when it comes to the breaking of magical laws."Custodio looks at ex-commander. "Is that what this was all about? Did Waldo lure us down here, so he can have more time to cause problems in Old City?"Lowenan holds up his shackled hands, worried that the Vanquisher cleric might hurt him again. "Only partially," he replies. "I truly believe... believed that my mentor wished to make peace with you, if not the city itself, but now... now I am not sure. Musummaar's have me doubting everything that I was told." He puts down his hands in front of him. "It seems I'm as important to my mentor as I thought I was. He could come for me and the others by now.""You should tell them about the enclave's temporal effect too," Lady Arnona suggests to Lowenan. "It will help our cause."The ex-commander nods. "The enclave is like this place but the temporal shift there is more pronounced and is the opposite of this labyrinth. One hour of time in Bluffside is equal to one day in the enclave, and it is more stable that this place. There is no effect on the need for food or water on the other demiplane. Whoever built this place was trying to duplicate the conditions in the Ancients' demiplane, but they got it wrong or weren't trying to match the conditions there exactly."Tim listens as Lowenan continues to tell them about the enclave."You already have the portal key, the crystalline flower, that will get you through the other portal located along the wall connecting Old City to the Gardens. It will open the portal and allow you to enter the demiplane but once on the other side, it will turn to dust and you will not be able to use it to get back." He looks at Akos. "Phelix knows you've been trying to decipher the correct phrase that will keep the portal open longer, but no matter what you say, it will close after you go through. You might be able to keep it open for roughly 30 minutes of time in Old City, which would give you 12 hours in the enclave before it closes. No longer than that.""To get back, you will need one of the portal keys that Phelix had made. You told me the portal keys look like keys, correct?" She asks Lowenan"Yes, he had them made by an artificer who lives in a place called the City of Doors," Lowenan adds. "I don't know his name, however." He sighs. "He never gave me one. I should have realized I wasn't important enough to him. Kelik has one. That, I'm sure of. He is the guildmaster of the Brelish Thieves' Guild that operates out of shop known as The Crossed Candles. The people of Old City know him as Barclay Winton. If you go after him, he will try to hide behind the law's of the city. Do not underestimate him or his popularity with the nobles in his guise as Barclay.""Would she have one as well?" Rhilaseth notes. "The woman who owns the eatery and took a shine to Silagord the last time we were there?""Sabela isn't a true Loyalist, Rhilaseth," Lowenan replies. "I doubt Phelix would have trusted her with one of the portal keys.""That's not a name I recognize," Custodio says. "The doppelganger, the other one, Mani, told us about Barclay, but I didn't really believe him.""That crazy killer infiltrated Kelik's guild once. It wasn't discovered right away but Phelix has been hunting for this 'Manifest' ever since. That what the gnome's doppelgangers called him." He pauses. "He might be crazy, but he was telling you the truth. And, Sabela is Sabela Abreu. She is the owner of the Delicate Delight Eatery. She often feuds with the man who runs the Golden Lantern.""Master Rosenberg," Custodio asks. "Is that why there was a trap put in his inn?""Yes, it wasn't meant for you," the ex-commander replies. "It was put there to cause problems for the man and his business."Vinccenzo inspects the floor around the petrified wizard to see if there are any pieces of the wizard in the rubble pile or anything else that could be useful. He finds several discarded small chips that could be put back in place on his arms but none for the petrified wizard's face or his missing finger. He also finds a tarnished ring in the pile of rubble and he disturbs a tiny mouse that skitters away along the wall.He then looks at what looks like an enclosed wooden bench. A large stone is placed over a hole in the center of the bench. When the Sectarian Guard moves it, the bench's purpose becomes all to clear as the smell of poo wafts up to his nose. Its a privy. Vinny quickly replaces the stone over the smelly hole and looks for something to wipe his hands on.[OOC]Okay, now we're into another Search check. Vinny would be searching three 5-ft. squares around the statue. I didn't include the squares that contain the old metal barrels. If you want to search all those barrels too, it will add three more 5-ft. squares.[Spoiler="Vinny's Search Check"]<a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=255115" target="_blank">Vinny - Search Check: 1D20+7 = [14]+7 = 21</a>[/Spoiler][/OOC]</blockquote>
