"My thoughts exactly. But I would like to survey as much as I can before going in. If we can't learn anything from up here then we can try a window elsewhere. I brought you up here with me because it never hurts to have an extra pair of eyes."

As you peek into what amounts to an attic window of this storehouse, you can make out old trunks, dusty boxes and plenty of odd shapes, outlined under a dirty old blanket that is used to cover them. As far as you can tell, there is no one on this floor.

For Elhanna and Poinki at street level you see a curtain move briefly, and you can make out what looks like bunk beds and a rackof polearms inside the warehouse.

(Do we see how many people are inside or just the dusty abandoned equipment?)

Si'Juul and Paren only see the dusty attic floor, it doesn't seem like anyone is on this floor.

"You want in or can we go down now?" Paren squirms, clearly uncomfortable. 

"Would you like me to fly you back down first?"

Si'Juul understands the type of discomfort Paren is feeling, even if it comes from a different source than his own.

"I really want to know what the plan is. Am I going in there? If I am, what am I looking for? What do we hope to accomplish with this?"

"That depends on what we find in there and what they do if they manage to find us. But I just had another idea. First, I fly you back down, which I can see you would like me to do anyway."

If Paren allows it, Si'Juul carries him back down.

"Okay, I won't force you if you'd rather not do anything here. I was thinking I could try to get in from the roof. That's where they would likely expect me to enter. Meanwhile, you could try to get in from a window or something down here. You can bring Elhanna and Poinki if they want to come with you. I don't intend to fight anyone, just want to spy, and you've got years of experience in it. My plan is to simply eavesdrop, but better they spot me from above more than anyone of you guys."

"I'm hoping we can learn about their plans here in Arkos. Maybe how they came to get the favor of this 'archbishop' and what it means for them in the long run."

Paren nods. "Alright. In I go then I guess." Paren begins to circle the house, discreetly looking for for best window to enter through.

Si'Juul flies back up to the roof and tries to open the window silently.

Stealth: 9 (Not my night for dice rolls apparently)

Paren, you make your way around the warehouse, spotting a window at the back that looks easy enough to jimmy open. Just as you're about to get to work though, you hear Si'Juul land on the roof. Shit, you heard him land, because as soon as he does, a set of shingles come loose, sliding down the roof and shattering on the cobblestone below. You hear chairs being pushed back and tables being pushed away coming from the inside!

Si'Juul and Paren, I need a stealth check. Everyone else, please roll a perception check or let me know what you were doing in the meantime.

Stealth: 13

(Did Poinki manage to find out any information on when and where the Archbishop makes appearances?)

Perception 19

Perception: 20

Elhanna is watching form the street as Paren and Si’Juul try to pull of this stunt. When she sees the shingles fall she take cover then she try to pick up the pieces before the men inside sees them. 

Stealth: 19

Poinki and Elhanna, you can both make out several shapes from behind the curtains moving about, though you're unsure whether they are barricading themselves inside the building, or are about to come out. Before you finish puzzling things over though, the back door to the warehouse is flung open, and Paren is now face to face with a large brute of a man, holding a butcher's cleaver in one hand, and gesticulating wildly with the other: "What are you doing here, snooping around this warehouse, hu? You lookin' for trouble? Go on now, leave, 'fore I make ya regret yer snooping!".

Seeing Poinki and Elhanna nearby, the large man turns to them too, and changing his tone almost apologetically :"Nothin' ta see here milady, just showin' this man 'ere off my property."

Poinki considers for a moment whether or not to admit Paren is an ally, but decides not to indicate one way or the other.

"Yes, yes, understand," Poinki says. "You own warehouse? My lady here looking to buy good warehouse, and this one look perfect. You ever think of selling?  If not, maybe let us look inside, just to see how built? Willing to pay very good price, if right for needs. Willing to pay a few golds just for examine building."

deception: 19

persuasion: 26

Upon hearing Ponkies lie, she straighten herself up to look a noble as possible. (Aiding ponki in the deception if possible.)  

Momentarily distracted, Paren can use the opportunity to hide.

 The large man looks at the two creatures before him, a look of utter confusion on his face. "I don't intend ta sell... How much money we're talkin'?"
