As the trio move out as a duo and an invisible Valen they move well and seem to stick to the shadows, such as they are. After a minute or two Mrancsi takes a turn down a sidestreet and is lost from sight for about ten seconds before the group reach the same corner, as they see him again he has crossed to the far side of the street and is heading up a path towards a house that is slightly set back from the street with a small garden and a number of trees which will block sight in a few seconds.
What do you wish to do?
Brock and Kyve
The first door doesn't get opened, neither the second, the third doorway has somebody at home who very clearly doesn't wish to be disturbed and is rather vocal about it. As they try the fourth door a small older gentleman opens the door with somewhat bleary eyes he squints at the pair "Whaddya want? An' whatcha doing in here, you don't live 'ere do ya?" he doesn't sound angry, just confused.

Kit narrows her eyes at the house, looking thoughtful. "Hmm...this might be an extension of reconnaissance best continued at night," she murmurs. "Don't want to break into an occupied house in the middle of the day, and I'm pretty sure we can't get in the more traditional way."
"Oh? What...where'd he go," the half elf grumbles. "Ok," she then replies to Kit. "So plan to come back this evening," Wallis whispers next eyeing the house curiously.
Is it overly ornate compared to the others around it? Like it's says "Money-bags McChurch" lives here?

"Hey, don't mean to bother ya.. I was lookin for a buddy of mine... I spotted him on the street and wanted to say hello but he ducked into one of these rooms but I didn't see where he went. You wouldn't happen to know which room is his would ya?" Brock would ask with a smile before describing the man he had seen get off the coach. "I can spare a bit of coin if you can help me find him..." The large muscular man would say with a wink.
"If you gonna pay me you ain't his friend, why ya wanna talk to im anyway" The old man questions, turning a bit against Brock. Kyve tuts under his breath, "You know me old fella, I think you do. We just want to make sure he is OK, I'd appreciate it if you'd help." "Don't know you neither", is the reply leaving Kyve looking as pained as Brock has ever seen him. "Upstairs one floor, third door, you piss him off and I'll ave you you hear me laddies?"
With that he goes back inside leaving the pair of them to investigate.

"Thanks friend.." Brock would say with a nod. "Us Cracks dwellers got to stick together.." He would say as the old man disappeared. Brock would then work his way up the stairs to the third door. Once at the door, Brock would give it a quick knock.
Kit knows that members of the clergy of Pholtus are not permitted to own property in their own name but are given a residence owned by the church which reflects their status.

Kit glances at the others. "He'll have a residence from the church reflecting his status," Kit explains quietly to the others. "But it won't be in his name."
"I thinks that's all were going to get today," Wallis says. "Should we come back this evening to poke around or...maybe go find out what the others gleened from the man who got tbe ride of his life," she asks curiously.

Near the pair comes the hushed voice of Valen. "That sounds to be the smarter course of action. Though, I would like to make use of the time I have in this form. If you two would like to head back, I can spend a few more moments taken a look around... Don't worry, I won't do anything brash. Where should we meet?"
(DM: How much time does Valen have on his one hour invisibility? Valen would like to spend as much time he has left, minus a few minutes that would get him back to the main road, just observing the property from this vantage point. Just looking if there are others, possible guard patrols etc.)
About 50 minutes, so with 45 minutes of invisibility he sees:
fairly regular patrols of watchmen, but they mostly focus on the main road, just looking into the side streets as they pass. The house itself is large, but largely hidden from sight by trees, from the street, Valen can tell it has at least three floors though, it appears to be in very good condition and well maintained, as do all the other residences nearby. At this time of day at least the whole area is very quiet, a few servants go in and out of the homes whilst you are there but Valen doesn't see a single resident in the whole time he is there.

Brock would look the man up and down. "I came to check on you.. I was worried about you since ya had the balls to speak up about the crimes going on here in the cracks..." The muscular man would say as he rests his hand on the door frame. "Ya know... my friend and I are interested in the same thing you are.. would you let us in so we can have a chat?"
"I don't know you, I'm fine the man who works for Prelate Mrancsi brought me back ere in his fancy carriage 'e did! Nice fella, knows the place well, I think he musta grown up 'ere, anywa. I'm good you don't need to come in. I think everyone down here thinks the same, but I'm putting my trust in the clergy, not some tea leafs like you." he says pointedly looking at Kyve "You be off now." He breaks off coughing heavily and then says "whoo, where did that come from?"He then coughs again before saying "Run along then" and shuts the door, the pair both hear another bout of a wracking cough as soon as the door closes.

Brock would try to open the door. "Ya all right ya old dog?!" Brock would shout through the door while pushing open the door and looking inside... If the door seems locked, Brock would quickly look to Kyve.. "maybe he was poisoned.. you need to pick this lock unless you want me to kick down this door.." The man would say
"Yeah I'm fine, get goi... cough cough cough" comes the reply, then a wheeze and a few steps away from the door. Then a thud.
Brock looks to Kyve who nods and then just tries the door which opens, they find the man lying face down clearly struggling to breathe, his leg starts to twitch in the few seconds they need to process what is happening, banging into a small table and knocking it over, including the bottle and glasses that had been resting on it., the crash sounds very loud to the two men , Kyve turning around to see if anyone is about.
Brock, what is the play?

"Shit!" Brock would whisper yell to Kyve. "I am sure you know how to apply poison... Does this look familiar? You got any idea how to fix this?" Brock would ask as he quickly closes the door behind them. The monk would try to tilk the mans head back to help try to open the air way. "Do you think his problem is just that he cannot breath? Do we need to like... cut open his throat or something? or do you think he is just screwed and we gotta get out of here?" Brock would say looking from the dying man to Kyve.
