((I am assuming Elwin is going to hang back with Mindartis and Quentin, then, and Raven will be the only one close by...))
The night gets colder as you recover from the shock of the police raid and the news of the missing child. It's a good thing that the team was so persuasive. Spending the night in the jail (or, in the case of Del and possibly Quentin, locked up in some orphanage or school) would have brought a humiliating end to your hunt for the Candyman.
It doesn't feel much as if you will do any more good here, though. For the next couple of hours, you see nothing moving but the occasional bat or owl or pixie fluttering by high overhead. Then even they stop appearing, and the hours of the early morning are so silent you feel almost as if you are the only living things in all of the Free City.
By now, the party has just about given up hope. Elwin has nearly dozed off. Quentin seems to have caught a sniffle in the cold, damp night air, and is concentrating on (not very successfully) suppressing sneezes. Raven's mind has drifted to her father in the fens. Henry, flying back and forth between the groups. somehow gets himself stuck in an old trash can, and noisily tries to extricate himself.
Only Mindartis and Del notice when the thin mist in the alley starts to thicken into a concealing fog. Only they notice the tall, thin, silhouette in the cloud. And only Del is close enough to hear the voice...

Mindartis and Raven see the figure move closer to Del, and Raven can hear it talking again. (Roll perception to try and hear. Elwin and Quentin can roll perception again to notice Mindartis's reaction DC 12, but with disadvantage: this is Hour 5, and your #5 perception rolls were, I'm afraid, not very good...Also, poor Henry can do a dex roll of 10 to get out of the trash can--he had a 4 stealth roll. XD )

Mindartis charges into the cloud of fog, as it slowly begins to dissipate and clear. The strange figure...and Del...are gone.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(( Elwin's Perception Check:13 - Don't know if it matters (maybe he's using Misty Step?) but Elwin's darkvision extends to 120 ft. ))
Running out toward Del's location, Elwin found himself astonished that his companion--and their target--had vanished. His turned frantically this way and that, trying to catch any sort of glimpse of them, all while holding back the curses he wanted to utter.
As Raven began calmly looking for a trail, Elwin settled down a bit, and attempted to assist her search.
(( Can't actually Help due to lack of proficiency; he'll make his own Survival Check:5 ))
Both Elwin and Quentin would notice Mindartis dashing off and yelling. Raven, you find no trace.

"Well, anyone have our next plan of action?" Raven asks as she comes up empty on a possible trail to follow. "What sort of spell was that, any ideas? Or was it magic at all?"
"Magic..." Mindartis says, looking down at his hands. He takes a deep breath, and tries to feel for any residual magic left over. He starts to shimmer; and if magic is present, starts to glow.
Regardless Quentin runs up with the rest of the group when they all dash forward as well. But, instead of looking for tracks or getting emotional he begins to investigate the area they were for any other tell tail signs that might help.

Quentin makes an extremely thorough search, and finds not a clue...neither Del nor the Candyman seems to have dropped anything.

Quentin begins to rack his mind about all the possible magical spells he’s heard of that might explain what’s happening saying, “If anyone else knows about the arcane arts I’d like your thoughts because I’m sure a lot has happened that can be explained with that. Teleportation. That’s strong magic. But then why didn’t they see through the illusion if they can teleport. Maybe it’s.....invisibility and they’re still actually here. Just unseen.” Quentin mutters to himself as he starts going through all the magical spells and proprieties he can think of.

Mindartis drops to his knees and pounds his hand into the dirt. (To those of you who know Sylvan)
Damn it damn it damn it!!! I told you this was a horrible idea!
He stands up and looks to the sky, "Come out and face me you coward! I'll show you what happens who you kidnap people who can't save themselves!!!"
