Hank offers a silent prayer of thanks and protection for Spider.

Hank ready's his bow. "Well, gang. Let's go light them up!"

He creeps up to the front door and takes a position to cover those party members who are better able to check for traps and open the door. His follwers take a defensibles position by the gate.

As far as Hank can tell, all is quiet on the other side of the door.

"Yes, yes, let's just take it slow until we get caught."

The entry door is entirely untrapped. You easily find your way into room #5.

For lack of a better idea where to go, Yuki checks the doors in the entryway for traps before heading left.

Skyrock · « **Reply #25 on:** July 18, 2020, 09:35:28 PM »

Room #8 is unoccupied but by a glass vitrine case containing a wunderkammer in the far north-east corner, and a small shrine at the northern wall.

The southern door leading to room #9 is entirely untrapped, and has also no sounds coming from it.

"I'll keep going and let you know if I find anything. Look around more if you want, just make sure we aren't followed."

Not having an interest in shrines or magic, she continues to pass through to room 9.

The doors to both inner courtyard #6 and room #10 are untrapped. The courtyard is lifeless - but room #10 has some life in it. You hear loud declarations of card colours and numbers, apparently some gambling is going on.

The boards on the windows of room #9 have some recently added strange runes carved into them.

"There are people ahead. Gambling, if we want to take them by surprise."

Yuki keeps mum about the runes on the window. No point translating that for everyone else until there's some point, even if Niko already knows of her involvement with the fey.

"Stand watch here while we clear the way," Hank whispers to his followers. I'll signal for you when after we clear a path.

His mind focuses on Yuki. Coming.

Hank stays alert as he creeps into room 9. He nods at Yuki and hunkers down.

Niko hangs back a room with Peri, weapons at the ready. He knows he isn't particularly stealthy and doesn't want to be the one who gives away their position.

"What is the plan? Kill them?"

dman · « **Reply #31 on:** July 19, 2020, 07:58:25 PM »

Hank knocks a second arrow. His breathing slows as his mind sharpens on the hunt.

Yep... Unless of course you were planning on inviting them to church.

*WINK*

"I would never have expected you to approve of my methods.

Nevertheless, Yuki prepares to open the door once Mist is in place.

As Yuki opens the door, there are three people - two men and one woman - sitting around a chained chest and playing cards. They are completely surprised at not only someone being so deft to ignore the warnings, but also someone being so quiet they didn't hear them.

Yuki moves in first, clearing the doorway for other shots.

Yuki's target goes down in a single strike. Only two more to go...

dman · « **Reply #36 on:** July 20, 2020, 12:47:36 PM »

Hank fires.

The other two go down. That part of the house is now cleaned out.

Nanshork · « **Reply #38 on:** July 20, 2020, 01:18:15 PM »

Niko steps through the door and looks disappointed that there is nothing for him to do.

Mist looks around the room for signs of magic, her hands sliding over any money on the table, depositing it neatly into her pouch.
