"You're going to have a hard time in the city of you can't disappear when you need to" Gilxina says from behind the group "Sorry I'm late, had a little run in with a group of Bahamites."
Hearing Gilxina behind him Fizz jumps and let's out a squeak at the unexpected voice. "Whoa, where did you come from?! You are taking this whole being quiet thing very seriously, I am sure Gadhan appreciates it." He leans a bit closer to Gilxina and whispers, "I think he had too much to drink yesterday."
"Glad you could make it though! We are sneaking into this fancy house because we think someone there threw a fireball near our house and killed a bunch of people to steal a rock from a gnome." Fizz smiles pleased at how well he is handling the situation.

You all open the door in front of you. Blue Waterdeep fades as you walk into a normally colored pantry. You try to catch a whiff of the baked bread, but a stronger odor interrupts. Roll a Perception or Investigation check of your choice.
Darien and Jin, you discover two corpses within the pantry. They both appear to be servants of House Gralhund. The grisly sight could only have been caused by someone ready to escape the law, for murdering a noble or their servants is judged with death if found guilty.
There's a grunt. The kind of grunt that says, 'I told you', smug... but not happy. It's clear that this loss of life upsets him. "They're being held hostage. We must save them." Says the large man in the mask starts to wander off, taking a stance that everyone has seen before. Ready to punch and kick people's heads off. And damn, he moves fast. About 40 feet per six seconds.
Darien takes a moment to recover from his surprise at the corpses. Keeping his voice low he says to the others, “You know... WE stand a good chance of being blamed for this."
He looks to Jin as he moves off. "Just where are we going?"
Telepatically, he communicates to Tuigeo. 'Could you fly ahead and scout for us?' He takes a moment to scan the pantry and figure the most likely path to the main part of the household. 'Maybe in that direction.'
Probably a bit slower than Jin, he moves in the same direction as Tuigeo. (And hopefully same as Jin!)

One step behind him the purple haired wood elf taps his shoulder and whispers "They'll expect trouble. Keep quiet and let me see what's ahead before you lose YOUR head"

The flurry of activity catches the small gnome a bit off guard. Deciding he can't keep up with his taller compatriots he decides to slip into the shadows and try to keep up. "Now they are all in a hurry!!" He mutters to himself.

Xina, the way the bodies are slumped gives you a feeling that more than one culprit is at hand here. Possibly signs that the mystery man may not be working alone.
Darien, Tuigeo is currently invisibly exploring some sort of library room ahead of the party. He spots three more corpses, guards this time, then notices a large locked time. He stares at that for a few seconds before returning to the party.
Fizz, you sneak around until you realize that most rooms are in fact littered with corpses of dead guards and servants. You stop as you hear chatter and threats coming from one of the rooms ahead.
Jin, you rush through the rooms to find a well-kept library dulled by the corpse of a dwarven man slumped into the wood headfirst. You too see the large locked time on a pedestal in the library.

Robin follows the others through the house, moving a bit slower, and keeping her attention on the rooms as she passes through. She would wave a hand though, summoning Sabastian to her arm. She had hoped to use him outside, but now send him to fly ahead of her, looking into the rooms as they approach, so that she is not surprised by anythign ahead.
Sabastian perception: 24
Robin would call down magic to aid her in her own skills as she moves along...

Fizz blinks his eyes adjusting to the change color and deeply inhales the smell.

As Xina taps his shoulder and moves past, Darien holds back. He doesn't really hide, but steps against a wall where he isn't obvious.
He takes the opportunity to shift his senses to Tuigeo to see where he is at.

Large locked time?
I was about to ask the same!
