Rae hears the guards talk about friends, girls, and where to go out. You get the impression that leaving the ghetto is uncommon.

When he looks at the scroll Hollister sees that it's a knock spell.

“The point of being invisible, if that isn't obvious enough, is, that he cannot be seen,” Lytha states plainly.

“The fact, that he is here, is quite convenient, yet irritating. But I guess we won't be asking question, as it seems rather clear, that they won't be answered, anyways.”
 

“The point of being invisible, if that isn't obvious enough, is, that he cannot be seen,”

Rae frowned. That much was obvious.

"I know being invisible makes you impossible to see, but I meant, the point is to conceal one's presence. Once the person drew attention to themselves, why remain invisible? It seems unnecessary... that's all."
 


Hollister takes the scroll, and then moves to carry the case into a corner of the room, where he can ensure that the invisible man would have to push past him to get to it. "Korrin, attend please?"

The wizard waits a moment for the warrior to move into a guard position, and then he intones the words of the Knock spell, channeling the power to override the arcane lock on the case. Then, he again tries to open the case.

OOC: Hollister's plan is to make it as difficult as possible for the invisible man to get to any of the case's contents, just in case he plans to double cross us.
 

Korrin walks next to Hollister, drawing his new falchion and standing guard stoically as the wizard opens the case, not bothering to see if the spell is a success.
 

When Korrin draws his new falchion he feels a warm breeze. It's especially pleasant with the cold windy weather outside. When he warily eyes the rest of the room the grip feels a little warm.

Hollister casts knock from the scroll without difficulty. On completion the cover of one end of the case pivots open. Inside he can see that the overlarge scrollcase is filled with a scroll. A moment of examination shows that it's actually many pieces all rolled up together. They slide out easily when he tilts the case slightly.

It's difficult to unroll the scrolls because different sheets of paper keep sliding out. However it's clear from what Hollister can look at that it appears to contain architectural and engineering drawings as well as something written in some language he doesn't immediately recognize.
 

The wizard nods, the sheafs of paper gripped firmly in one hand. He double checks the case to ensure it really is empty, and then slides it toward the last position of the invisible man. "A deal is a deal," he says.

He stands and looks at his companions. "Unfortunately for us, I cannot read what is written here...though I am only fluent in seven languages. Perhaps one of you understands one that I do not?"


Can Hollister figure out what the drawings are of? He has Knowledge: Architecture +4
