Antonius blinks groggily then sits up suddenly. 'He stabbed me! That bald **** stabbed me!' he shouts.
He composes himself quickly and takes a deep breath. 'He's a bald dwarf. The plans are, or probably were, in my office desk, two doors down to the left.'
Darwin looks unsure, “I would have expected him to leave because he just murdered someone, in his mind at least. And he must have heard us enter the house and probably realises we saw him”.
”But we can check other places first. Where does he live and work?”.
”I know you are likely in shock, Antonius, but after what has just happened I though you might have more of a sense of urgency. Are you going to change and show us this shop, or give us better directions than half a mile North?”, he says obviously impatient.
It's possible we don't have all the information. Your partner was obviously working with people, we know of only 2 in Volen and Loki. There could be more, and they could have plans we haven't been able to consider yet. What matters now, is that you're alive and that together we can help each other.
"That might be enough information for me to find it. I sometimes came through these parts getting to Priestsgate for food." Hamish tries to envision the street and where the shop might be.
Ida motions to Agnarr to be ready to follow her in and for Darwin to stay behind them just in case. She readies her battle-axe and immediately regrets not donning her armor while being in Haukberg. She motions to Hamish to open the door. She does her best to remain silent as she enters and scans the room.
“Go in and take a look around, but be careful”, Darwin sends telepathicallly to Caper, whose invisible form flies through the door above Ida as soon as it is opened.
There is a little giggle of excitement that escapes the faerie dragon, who appears to be enjoying the proceedings.
As you enter the room, you see 4 Artisan's working away in unison. They seem to be working with runic stones, leathers, and metals. They are far too engrossed in their work to look up and notice you enter.
Darwin turns to Antonius, “Is there a back door, a way for your partner to flee again? Can you get your workers to step out quietly whilst we sort this?”.
Caper flutters about, quietly looking for the bald dwarf, still invisible.
”If you spot him and he flees, follow him please”, he sends to Caper.
The room is a large open space, about 50 by 40 feet, with multiple work stations and a few summoning circles.
The building appeared to be one story, as the inside seems to confirm.
There is a large set of doors, as those of a warehouse in the rear that are presently open, allowing a breeze to flow into the work space. In the back left corner there is another door, though this one much more modest.
Hamish slides the wand back into sleeve so as to not arouse any unwanted suspicion. He glances at Ida before trying to approach the modest door without drawing too much attention to himself.

Darwin furrows his brow, “What does your business partner look like?”.
Oh Antonius, I think it's fair to say your partner cannot be trusted. Where are the plans? We may be able to intercept him and get them before him.
Antonius blinks groggily then sits up suddenly. 'He stabbed me! That bald **** stabbed me!' he shouts.
He composes himself quickly and takes a deep breath. 'He's a bald dwarf. The plans are, or probably were, in my office desk, two doors down to the left.'
Darwin bites his lip to stop from shouting We told you so! That sort of thing would not be helpful.
"Well if he has taken the plans, we need to figure out his move. Will he try and leave the city?", he asks Antonius.
Hamish goes to where Antonius said the plans were and looks through the desk to see if they are gone.
The desk draw was open when Hamish reaches it, and it is empty.
Antonius shakes his head, 'Why would he?' he asks, bemused. 'If he thinks I'm dead he'd have no reason to leave.'
Darwin looks unsure, “I would have expected him to leave because he just murdered someone, in his mind at least. And he must have heard us enter the house and probably realises we saw him”.
”But we can check other places first. Where does he live and work?”.
'He lives and works in our shop. It's about half a mile down the road towards the Priestsgate.' Antonius answers.
Darwin let’s out a long sigh.

((History Check of 2 =( ))
Antonius seems to shake off the malaise and rises. He leads you to the workshop, on the edge of the Artisans district.
The sounds of labor from within trickle to your ears.
Hamish readies the wand and moves to the door, ready to open it on Ida's mark.
Ida motions to Agnarr to be ready to follow her in and for Darwin to stay behind them just in case. She readies her battle-axe and immediately regrets not donning her armor while being in Haukberg. She motions to Hamish to open the door. She does her best to remain silent as she enters and scans the room.

Hamish glances at Ida, Darwin, and Agnarr before looking for stairs, whether up or down, or some kind of office door.
