The Longest Night

[*Selebius]

Squinting his eyes Norman tries to loosen the Wands from where they are held, offering one to Thist.

"Interesting. Perhaps those will be useful soon. What is this about?" He gestures to the alchemical apparatus before returning his attention to the safe. "Did they brew drugs here?"

[*Midnight]

The safe is locked and closed. When detect magic was cast it did not show up.

//Sorry should have added that to my last post.

[*Selebius]

Norman looks at the safe but of course he has no means to open it should it be locked. Of course he tries opening it, shifting the mace to his shield hand then giving a door a pull painfully aware ofhis weakness again.

Thist holds out an arm in Normans direction, not turning his head as he continues to study the alchemy table. I would bring his arm back in once a wand is plopped into his hand.

"Yes, they brewed some poisons here." He points to the petals and some dirt. "Someone made a batch of something and i bet it was that that stuff that was used to abduct our target." He then looks down at the wand in his hand.

"And what do we have here?" He studies the wand more closely, first to figure out its function then again to see if it has any identifying markers.

[*Selebius]

"Poison.... so we are on the right track." He rubs the side of his neck, then gets up from the safe.

"Daylight Wand.", he says, noticing Thist examining the item, smiles. "Whoever made those was very, very afraid of the dark. How good are you with safes, by the way?"

It seems the mage has impressed him with his skills and he stands back, hoping that Thist can help again.

[*Midnight]

As the two contemplate the safe downstairs, upstairs Ben's ears prick up and he growls. The source of his concern becomes apparent and there is a loud bang and more shouting from the street.

[*Darkrob]

Another glance is made towards the sound in the street. Just a slight opening of the door to ensure (as much as possible) that the pair remained unseen.

[*LiquidDreamer]

Thist looks up from the wand looking at Norman. "It's either the dark or vampires. Keep one of these, if you don't I will." He sets the wand down then walks over to the safe.

"No way I'm touching that thing. If those traps where outside, I'm not trying to see what's on the safe. But we can see if a spell can do the trick." He examines the safe using his magical prowess to see if the safe is shrouded in any magical traps or spells before he casts his spell.

[*Selebius]

Norman nods, then steps back a bit- perhaps just careful to clear the blast radius....

[*Darkrob]

John closes the door again and leans back towards the interior of the house. He calls out;

"Whatever you guys are doing, get it done now... we're about to run out of time".

He then puts Ben's harness back on and keeps a wary eye on the street
