OOC: He's small. Not the size of a regular cat. But i will specify!

Wallis looks curiously at Brock.

"So...uh what's his problem," the half elf asks grinning.

"I don't think he likes being covered in rotting fruits and vegetables... " Brock would reply with a Grin before holding up his empty tankard and gesturing for another. "Yeah... turns out that after we were running out of the apartment where the man was poisoned, there was an old woman crossing the road just as this cart carrying a bunch of rotting refuse came barreling around the corner..  anyway.. Kyve quickly rushed forward and pushed the old woman out of the way just before she was run over. In doing so the driver of the cart quickly swerved to avoid Kyve and ended up overturning the cart and splashed our friend there with its stinky payload... yup... that is what happened... kyve is a hero.." Brock would finish with a shitty grin, looking for more food to appear.

Kit raises an eyebrow. "Uh huh...I'm sure," she says dryly, an amused sparkle in her eye.

So, as a group what do you want to do now?  You can decide on which course of action you want to carry out and I'll help sterr but I'd like to give you some freedom to choose, so far though if you want to stick to what has come up I'd summarise as follows.

1) Mrancsi was seen going into a house in the Valias, you have no idea about what happened next.  Watchmen make regular patrols round the area but the house is set quite far back from the street and on a quieter road.

2) Mrancsi's servant took the old man back to the Cracks, Kyve and Brock met the old man shortly before he died (presumably from a poison of some type) and then escaped before (they assume) anyone saw them.  They had already introduced themselves to another resident.

3) Mrancsi is making a scheduled inspection tomorrow morning of the Watch in the Cracks, Kyve knows and has shared with you when he will be in each area according to the plan.

Let me know how you want to proceed.

Kit glances at the others. "Anyone care to join me for some breaking and entering tonight? Thought I'd see what I can find in the house we followed Mransci to."

OOC: Kit plans to break into that house tonight to look around, then watch Mransci tomorrow when he enters the Cracks (assuming she doesn't get arrested/killed tonight, lol)

"I've got your back but what are we looking for exactly? I'm sure he's smart enough not to leave his evil plans out for display. I would like to find out what killed that man however...that seems very suspicious yet a typical response to the 'problem' if the Cracks. A 'silence those who speak or rebel' kind of approach but what do we gain by going to his house," she says circling back with a curiously cocked eyebrow. 

"I think following the driver and getting information from him might be easiest... but I am always down for getting into a little trouble." Brock would say with a grin.

Kit nods at Wallis. "He wouldn't leave plans out, not if he's smart," she agrees. "But he might have records or something similar we can use to draw conclusions, and more information is never a bad idea. Plus, knowing how to break in is useful information in case we need to do it again in the future for more high-stakes reasons. Not to mention getting a look at the faces of servants, friends, and so on for Valen to impersonate if needed, and an idea of relationships so that we know who to impersonate for a given situation."

"Speaking of having Valen impersonate people... we could follow the driver... confront and ask them what they know and what they did to our dead actavist... and then if needed impersonate him. He would have to be in on it because there is no way he wasn't poisoned in that carriage, so Mransci wouldn't likley feel like having to pretend to be this holy servent when he is actually a damn bastard..." Brock would say shaking his empty mug in the air while looking around for another drink. ... 

     Valen shakes his head smiles back to Brock after he explains their ordeal. "Well, it wouldnt hurt to turn over a few rocks at the priest's house I suppose. You never know what may turn up," 

     "That does sound fun as well," he replies to Brock's suggestion. "Though once we ask our questions we aren't going to be able to let his driver return. We will need to find a way to make him disappear."

The evening closes in, Kyve explains that he has other business to attend to tonight and will not be joining them, the party are all well rested and fed (Short rest) and prepared to leave for the Valias again, remembering the route is not a problem and the party have the time to bring or leave any equipment they wish with them.  

OOC How would you like to travel (shortish carriage ride, or a walk of more than an hour, how will you be dressed, are you taking any particular equipment (Kyve would have access to all manner of thieving gear if you feel you are missing things) - if you let me know this I will post up a summary of your entrance to the area.

"If If the Driver poisoned and killed that guy we saw earlier today... then I don't have a problem returning the favor..." Brock would reply coldly, looking to Valen.

(OOC: Brock is pretty well suited for stealth missions but isn't really a stealth mission PC lol so I don't think you want him leading the night investigation)

Kit cheerfully appropriates a climbing kit and another set of thieves tools from Kyve's supplies, then looks at Valen. "You going to be able to go invisible again? Can you do that to anyone else, for that matter?"

Kit's vote for how we enter is to take a carriage and get dropped off a few streets from our target.

Brock would dig out a rope and grappling hook... as well as a set of baggy black clothes that he could put on over top of his current set of common clothing. 

"Not walking all the way there sounds good" Brock would say looking to Kit. 

      "I do quite enjoy sneaking about unseen, but I can only make myself or one other invisible at a time. I can appear to be one of the guards to avoid detection if someone else is in need."

(Do we know where the driver went after dropping the man off? Is Brock assuming they are back at Mranci's place?)

"I think I can be stealthy," Wallis grins giving Simon a scratch. "Finding the driver sounds like a good plan too," she adds. "He should be punished," she declares with a grimace.

OOC no, you have no idea where the driver went, you could all recognise him, especially Brock and Kyve and you might recognise the carriage again.

The party hire a carriage, travel into the Valias, and arrive about a two minute walk from the house they are interested in a little before midnight. The streets are quiet, a lamplighter operates here in the Valias and there is a reasonable mount of light on the streets, as the party were pulling up they saw a two man Watch patrol move past away from the direction they wish to head. 

"It is...a lot uh brighter than I thought it would be out here," Wallis whispers nervously to the party. "Should I scout ahead," she asks never with a curiously cocked eyebrow.

Kit frowns faintly, eyeing the patrol. "Alright Wallis, yeah, I think scout ahead a bit. But don't focus on stealth, at least not the hiding kind. You're just a wealthy Dzendan, taking a stroll down the street and taking a moment to be impressed by the lovely house. The rest of us will follow a bit slower."

"Ok," Wallis replies moving ahead. 

Simon peeking out of her braid and the nape of her neck on watch too. Looking for invisible foes.

OOC: perception or investigation or both? Do I roll for Simon too?

Wallis perception 18, investigation 13

Simon perception 14, investigation 11
