Standing up, Guilliame approaches the desk, the cat following behind. He then closes his eyes briefly and then scans the desk looking for concentrations of magick.
For Guilliame:
[OOC: He sees no concentrations of magick on the desk, but all the while the cat is rubbing up against his leg. It is still glowing and he still cannot determine the nature of the magick on the cat.]

[OOC: A quick look through the crumpled pages that Dora hands Guilliame reveals that Saladin Brassman seems to have been studying the early texts of the Mithran religion and have been writing some sort of treatise on its beginnings. To ascertain anything more will take time and a Religion check.]

"Perhaps you could show them to Basilly, I really think he values your opinion more than mine. Lets head downstairs." At that I walk over to the stairs and descend to the ground floor.
Give the cat a scratch behind the ears as we are going down the stairs.
OOC Yesterday moves didn't seem to work but is OK today (if this gets through)
OOC Colonoscopy went fine today. Two more and I get a free enema
[OOC: I am going to presume that Guilliame is taking the sheaf of papers downstairs as well.]
With the cat trailing behind him, Guilliame follows Dora down the stairs back to Brassman's sitting room where the two of them find the sheriff, Handleader Ahman and Apprentice Basilly seated cross-legged in one corner still working on some sort of Arcane ritual.
'Did you find anything of interest, Handleader?" asks the sheriff, who then notices the cat. "Aah," he says, "I see you have found Tammuz."
Tammuz ignores everybody, including his former master, as he makes his way over to investigate Basilly.

[OOC: In addition to Brassman's papers, Guilliame will also be carrying Brassman's book he carried with him upstairs.]
The cat stops just outside the range of Apprentice Basilly's ritualistic movements and begins to watch his actions carefully. Basilly, on the other hand, appears to be frowning.
"I do not know," says the sheriff in answer to Guilliame's question, "but the poor thing will probably have to be put down now that its master is dead. There are enough stray cats on the streets as it is."
"Does it have an aura?" Basilly asks Guilliame anxiously. "Check it please."

[OOC: Guilliame would know from experience that a spell caster can only maintain one Concentration spell at a time and that this must be why Basilly is asking Guilliame to check if the cat is magical. See the Arcane is a Concentration spell, as must be the spell Basilly is casting as a ritual, which means he would spoil the casting of the ritual to do his own See the Arcane.]

Do a See the arcane and have a careful look at Tammuz.
For Guilliame:
[OOC: The cat does have an aura and you can make an Arcana check at Disadvantage to try to determine the domain of magic, if any, the aura is associated with.
The only other way that Guilliame knows about that could be used to find out about the magic associated with the cat is the Detect Magic spell/ritual, which is a spell taught at the School that Guilliame has not learned yet.]

I wait for Guilliame to leave his trance, still holding the wad of papers that I have requested him to read.
Have a look at the papers.

"This looks to be writing about Mithran texts. Is there anywhere else we need to check? You should show these to Bassily."
As the above has been happening, the cat continues to rub itself up against Guilliame's legs desperately seeking his attention.

"Perhaps you could show them to Basilly, I really think he values your opinion more than mine. Lets head downstairs." At that I walk over to the stairs and descend to the ground floor.
Half looking back to Guilliame as I walk " and that cat really seems to like Magi - maybe that is something to think about."
Give the cat a scratch behind the ears as we are going down the stairs.
