As Xavier get out of his room he hears far away a voice with a strong northern accent. He recognises the dwarven captain that escorted him this morning.
"Sir Roces, I am so glad to catch you. The Baron mentioned that you would be part of tomorrow's operation in Prumen. The commander is interested in meeting you. She is currently sparring with the soldier in near the Baron's garden. Are you free to meet her now?
The dwarf politely asks Xavier. Conscient of his rank he wouldn't want to offend the young noble.

Oculus and Jasper slowly approaches the men standing on top of the cart. He seems to be the one coordinating the activities of the others. He keeps on shouting orders around and doesn't notice them approaching. The men is a small blond human about 30 years old without much hair left on the top of his head. He is dressed in a university professor robe.
Both Jasper and Oculus already saw him on the campus but they don't know him that much. Seeing him on campus they could never had guessed how determined and directive he could be.
Both Jraq and Trolm stays a little bit behind protecting the two wizards.
As they both question him. He pauses for a second and looks at them (Diplomacy 17+5). He then tells them while keeping his eyes on the action "I don't have much time young men. We don't know if there are or were people inside Master Conrad houses. Wait .... No put it on the right aim at the lower window, Ok good... All we know is that this fire is abnormaly powerfull, perhaps an experiment gone wrong. For now I we don't know much more, Sorry He then refocus on the activity around and continue to shouts his orders.
Dai and Solomon still disguised as wizards start to circle the block of large townhouse. (search; spot Solomon 13+1;13+7 Dai 20;18+2)
As they circle around the block (The block is made of 10 large houses splited in two lines of 5 houses with their relatively large backyard touching each other. Each Backyard is walled by a 7' cement fence. Small spear head are also placed on top of it to prevent burglar from easily climbing them.
Dai and Solomon notice an unproperly closed man hole on the small back alley between two blocks of Townhouse. As they approaches it, Dai notices very small drops of blood. They seems to be coming from the fence. If the attacker used that way they had to cross the neighboor courtyard before accessing Joe's house(Since it's the second houses from their position). Dai also notices a small yellow feather stuck in a spear head on the fence.
(Survival 9+7)Solomon looking around notices also the footsteps of several humanoids. He follows them and they lead to the fence. He also notices a bit of almost dry mud on the walls of the fence. It didn't rain and there don't seems to be any pool of water around. So whoever climbed that fence probably wet his feet in the sewers. The mud on the ground is not completly dry and with the spring sun right above their head Solomon estimates that they were made less than an hour ago.
