Clearly someone's quarters (likely one of the heralds, as you've never seen a black robe in your underground barracks). Fairly disheveled, the room yields little of note here. Some coins, a pair of silver dice. There's a scroll case in a small box under the bed, but it seems to be nothing but gibberish. Quioan's sight reveals it to be magical. The scroll's faint aura has the "hue" he associates with enchantments of the compulsion school. He cannot, however, ascertain its specific function. Whatever the scroll does, it clearly isn't any kind of useful proof, so the pair move to the next room. This one is immaculate. There isn't a hint of dust. The bed is crisply made. Personal effects are carefully stored and, it appears, stringently organized. A large map of the city hangs on the wall.Another aura catches Quioan's attention. A small, indescript sack shines with a moderate aura of summoning magics. But even with careful study, he can't pin down the exact nature of the bag's spellcraft. Even as he studies the bag, Yoshiki exclaims quietly as he finds a pattern in the routes drawn in on the map. It seems the map charts the temple's influence and growth within the city. There are no indicators of illicit activity to spread that influence, sadly, but the map confirms that the cult has at least half the city under its thumb, and is beginning to make inroads to the other half.The only other papers in the room are a half finished love poem to "Owbej's fair lady," and a crumpled "Assessment list" in the trash bin beside the bed, signed by Garthia. It seems the latest recruits had done admirably well in his estimation, save Thon, about whom he had much lower hopes. "Disposal duty?" is scrawled down next to his name.[gm]I just made an assumption that Quioan would keep Detect Magic up if he didn't have to cast anything else, since it seemed simplest. I also made all the Know and Spellcraft checks for things to help keep things moving, so no need to make more.The map re-uses a few numbers, so I added my own. Hopefully helps with continued searching.Treasure from the rooms: 52 gp, a pair of silver dice (worth 5 gp), unidentified scroll (enchantment compulsion), unidentified bag (conjuration summoning)[/gm][/sblock][sblock=Elenka and Audra]There are no signs of your male companions as of yet. The minutes continue to tick by in the echoing silence of the room as the evening wears on.[/sblock]</blockquote>
