“Hmmm”. The gnome begins to ponder. “I need your word that you come directly to me with any information you uncover. Dirt over a royal family could be... useful.” He writes down a copy of the papers “Here, go look into these properties down by the docks. They are all in the Blackburn’s name. They seem to be quite hidden and haven’t been paying the taxes on them. A luxury they surely have enjoyed way too long. Everything but the Royal Estate requires to be taxed by law.” See what you find and make sure to fill me in.
Stone and Hallie. Leaving out the back door after your last cursory glance lead to nothing else in the house. The backyard seems to be free of the battle that once took place. The once finely trimmed shrubs are beginning to branch out and grow wild. There is a trampled bush under the window that has broken and busted outward. The back yard is quiet.
Ilvisar suggests, "Think we should head back to Stone's shack and wait for them there? I don't fancy trying to find where they went."
"Yeah, that's probably a good call actually. I can put a stew on too. I'm sure we could all use a good meal and a rest to prepare."
On the way back to Stone's place, Xil will try and coax some rabbits to approach him. As soon as they get close enough to pet he scoops them up. Thanks them for their life and quickly snaps their neck.

(OOC Did I find anything with my last search inside the house before we went outside?)
There weren’t really more rooms, you just hadn’t stated any interaction with the final room that was already stated. I moved your roll to being outside in the way out
Xil is able to wrangle up one rabbit in the way back. Knowing the trick probably won’t work on rabbits too close together. You are able to pick out the heftiest of the rabbits. It’s rather large as it’s been bulking up for the incoming winter. It’s good enough to feed the group tonight.
You both make it back to the empty house before the others.
"I wonder who fled the house...." Stone would say pointing out the bush and window to Hallie. "I noticed the window busted outwards from inside when we were searching the rooms.. DO you think it could have been from an assasin or someone fleeing the fighting?" Stone would say rubbing his chin.
Stone and Hallie - you find a peculiar dagger. It’s curved like a talon of a large bird, throughout the hilt and base of the blade it is embedded with various sizes of emerald. It’s stained with blood.
Stone would pick up the dagger, holding it up in the moonlight. "Well.. this is interesting... " Stone would hold it even closer... studying the blade and placing his hand over his lower back.. around where he had been stabbed multiple times by Drake .. "I wonder if this... if this is the weapon" He would mutter under his breath.. barley loud enough for Hallie to hear.

Ilvisar watches Xil easily catch a rabbit and whistles, "Now that's a trick. I should try that sometime."

“Ah ha. There we go. Yes. We will do that. What is your name comrade?”
Xil waits for the answer and thanks the gnome, leaves him a gold piece and says, “we will be in touch.”

“My name? Milo Sprudlock, pleasure to make your acquaintance.” As he takes the coin and goes back to his work.
Ilvisar looks impressed with Xil, "Well, good find. Do we investigate those ourselves, or get the other two to join us in case it's a pit of vipers?"
“Good call. Yeah let’s round them up.”

(I made a mistake - if I moved that 18 roll to outside, Stone would’ve noticed a glimmer in the bush and the moonlight.)
Moving to the bush, he would crouch down and pick up the shiny object in the dark. "What is this..." he would mutter aloud.

(Would Stone recognize the blade?)
Stone- roll an intelligence check.
(OOC that isnt going to be good..)

Hallie - (Sorry for the lack of posts. Real life can be such a drag sometimes.)
"That's a pretty flashy blade. We should put it with the rest of what we have gathered. Could be recognizable as belong to someone."
