The coach has pulled up outside a two-storey house, one of a line of two-storey houses packed tightly together along the street. The door to this house is open and light is coming from within. Standing at the top of the small flight of stairs that lead up to the front door is a large Sorendenese man in the armour of a member of the Watch. He acknowledges Dora as she steps down from the carriage with a quick salute.
For Dora:
[OOC: This is Handsman Tash from another of the Scholar's Ward watches. His handleader's name is Latisha and here is a link to what Dora knows about this hand.]
Having ascertained there is no immediate danger, Dora turns back to Samel in the carriage to reassure him and then talks with Barrus.
"Right you are, Handleader," says Barrus, handing across the crossbow and it accompanying bag of bolts. "I will look after him."

Guilliame's roll for experience is:5
This is also a failure, so no experience.

Peering out of his window on the other side of the coach, all Guilliame can see is a long window-less wall of brickwork about 15' high that belongs to a large building.
As far as he can see, there is no one in sight, which is hardly surprising considering the lateness of the hour.
It takes a few moments for the two of you to orient yourselves, but you quickly realise that the set of houses that the coach has pulled up next to is across the street from the Scholar's Ward Community Hall.
[OOC: See here for a link to this building on the World Anvil site.]
Guilliame exits the coach closely followed by Basilly whose lit rod shows up the surrounding area now that it is outside.
Guilliame then takes a moment to study the area with his mage sight.
For Guilliame:
[OOC: There are no major concentrations of magic on this side of the coach apart from the auras of Basilly and himself.]
Meanwhile, Dora approaches the handsman, who is clearly guarding the open door.
"Handleader," begins the handman while looking at the coach behind Dora, "the sheriff is inside with Handleader Ahman. Did you bring the Seeker with you? The sheriff wants to see her as soon as possible."
Looking through the door, Dora can see a short corridor that opens out into the house proper. She can hear the faint sound of voices coming from within.

"Handsman Tash, the chap with the light is Apprentice Cullen who will be standing in for Seeker Lomani. Magus de Marchant, Handsman Barrus, Citizen Samel are also coming in though perhaps Barrus and Samel can wait in the hall to start with."
"Basilly Cullen?" says the handsman, looking over Dora's shoulder. "I know him, but who are this Magus de Marchant and Citizen Samel? I was told I should not let anyone else in." This last is said in a louder voice while the man turns his head to look inside.
In response, a figure appears in the corridor and strides quickly up to the door.
For Dora:
[OOC: This is Handleader Ahman, handleader of the watch on duty at the main office for tonight's watch.]
"It is a bad business, Dora," says the tall woman, who then lowers her voice. "One of our own killed less than a block from the Sheriff's Office. The sheriff asked for the Seeker, but it would be best if we kept this to ourselves until we work out the truth about what happened. Perhaps it would be best to keep those others outside for the moment."
In the meantime, Guilliame and Basilly have come around to the house side of the coach and can see the three members of the watch speaking in the doorway of the two-storey house the coach has stopped in front of.
The house itself is not very opulent, being one of many crammed together tightly with little space—if any—between each house and its neighbours. It also has a narrow aspect to the street (about 40' from side to side) but likely extends back a lot further on its block.

Call out "Barrus arm the crossbow and cover us."
I look carefully out the windows of the coach to check for personnel or possible ambushes. I ask the Magi "anything on your side?"
[OOC Next move depends on what I see.]

I turn to Felicia, "you were taking us to the Sheriff's office. Why are we here"
[OOC: Oops! My mistake. She should have just said 'sheriff'.]
As she climbs down off the front seat, the driver says, "This is where I left the sheriff. He should be inside."

"Alright everyone, lets go inside and see whats happening."
I crook the crossbow in my arm and point it down so as not to inadvertantly kill anyone then walk to the building.
... and of course, I had strapped my scimitar back on as soon as I dismounted from the coach.
The weight of the scimitar hung reassuringly from my belt as I walked towards the building.

Jump out of the coach. Have a mundane look around and then do a See the arcane.
Guilliame exits the coach closely followed by Basilly whose lit rod shows up the surrounding area now that it is outside.
Guilliame then takes a moment to study the area with his mage sight.
