    "Would you mind, brother dearest?" Tamoko says, gesturing towards the no doubt horribly trapped drawer.

    OOC: Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh might as well.

    Yoshimo will inspect the remnants of the desk and open the closed drawer carefully, just in case something nasty lurks inside.

    "I always check for traps, beloved sister."
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    No traps, and the lock clicks open to your careful picking. Inside are papers. Lots and lots of papers. All written in the common tongue and relating to purchases made in the past. "Retort", "Athanor", "Copper Tubing" seem to feature prominently, along with chemicals with almost unpronounceable names.

    Tamoko steps close enough to the desk to look for anything inside the desk besides paper...

    OOC: Too odd that the one desk is untouched and yet only contains papers...there's gotta be something evil inside it!
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    Papers are pretty evil. Paper cuts even more so.
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    Oh, do the drawers look freshly broken in to or did this happen a while ago?

    "Paper cuts are a delight...especially when ministered with a whip...which doesn't really make them paper..cuts..." Tamoko falls into a pleasant daydream.

    "You were definitely adopted. Or possibly dropped on your head many, many times."

    A while ago. Maybe even a long while. And the desk drawer is stuffed with papers...
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    Yoshimo pulls the papers out of the drawer and lets them fall to the floor.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    You see faint lines on the side of the drawer...
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    Is there anything behind the papers?
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    See above...
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    I inspect the lines carefully. Extra compartment?
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    After a few moments of fiddling, you are able to pop open the compartment. Inside, wrapped in a small silk cloth (a handkerchief?), you find a glass phial containing a watery, rose-colored liquid. When you pop the cork a little, a spicy aroma hits your nostrils.

    "I found religion. You found your hands in someone else's pockets. I'm not sure who, with that in mind, had the better upbringing"

    OOC: Blasting VNV nation...neighbors are all 'TURN THAT SHIT OFF!'....good times.
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    Yoshimo cocks an eyebrow and turns his attention to the phial. Does he know what the delightfully scented liquid is?
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Nope. In this case, you have no clue.
  • katastrophekatastrophe Member Posts: 404
    Would Tamoko know?
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    I will carefully re-wrap the phial in the hanky and roll it into an extra pair of socks before placing it into my pack. I'll ask the wizards about it as soon as they're around/available.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Okay. :)
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    :)
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    Okay, onto the far western door.
  • katastrophekatastrophe Member Posts: 404
    Onto the next room!
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Okay. Same on the door. This 18 by 30' room appears to have been a ballroom or some other sort of space . The hearth here is twice the size of any other you have seen in the house, and the northern part of the room has a door that leads to a weed-choked patio. It has been abandoned so long that the slates are cracked. A pile of refuse is in the south-east corner of the room, but otherwise, the room has been stripped empty.
  • katastrophekatastrophe Member Posts: 404
    Tamoko jumps at the chance to search through the refuse.
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    lol... Game tradition dictates there's something useful in the pile of refuse. Tamoko, you want to check this one out?
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    Ask and ye shall receive. Yoshimo supervises from a distance.
