Airis looks to see where they can sneak to next...

22:55, Today: Iskander rolled 8 using 3d6.  observation - 12.
22:54, Today: Iskander rolled 7 using 3d6.  stealth - 16.
Amid the commotion, Iskander drifted from the shadows and smoke of the interior of the second floor. He found a spot where he could observe below, and began taking stock of where valuables were, and the defenses. *this all takes him about an hour*

In reply to Iskander (msg # 30):

Hiding now is more of blending in with the crow. No one noticed your
arrival due to some arm wrestling match downstairs. You are on the second
 floor of a restaurant, which is more of a mezzanine surrounding an open
 area in the middle, with railings and two flights of stairs down to the
main area. The space inside matches the exterior balconies, and rows of
long tables occupy most of the space.  There is an alcove off to the side
 where used dishes are being stacked, they are cheaply made decorated
porcelain and wood. The woodwork, once gilt and ornate, is old and
brittle looking. Decoratve scrolls with brush paintings, some stained and
 worn, together with paper lanterns give the impression of a faded
greatness, but there is little of recognizeable value here.
Behind the bussing station, there is a sliding door, and there is another
 pair of them on the other side of it. A scroll written in Sahudese hangs
 on the door behind the bussing station, it says
    "salon of the silver jade ibis"

OOC: Does the salon look accessible, or is it flanked by guards?

She looks to see if either door is unprotected.

In reply to Airis Moonshadow (msg # 33):

There is a young servant stacking dishes in the bussing area, and a man in some
understated armor standing next to the
door, with a sword at his side. A man wearing an apron with pockets, and carrying many small slips of paer marked with a chop is speaking to him.

There is also an entrance to the kitchens on the lower level.

Iskander bides his time, waiting,watching,and listening...for his next move!

Occ- GM, the 2 sliding doors, are they close together or separated?

"Airis.. I think the salon is where clients wait for the courtesans of the house. Beyond, are no doubt the women's quarters...though I might be wrong. Perhaps we should go below, through the kitchens, and see what is beneath this place...unless we should split up here, each of us investigating on our own?" Iskander continued whispering:
"If our friends should perhaps start a fight, or ruckus, and the guard intervene, we can watch from wither they came, and know where to infiltrate, next."

She whispers back "OK, I was wondering if something was upstairs but I will follow your lead"

Iskander nods. "I think we should check it out..although, we'll have to time our moves carefully."

In reply to Iskander (msg # 39):

Chye seems to be trying to incite a brawl below. Which direction are you heading in?

We're headed toward the salon.

Airis nods and follows along. She covers their back, looking behind them.

In reply to Airis Moonshadow (msg # 42):

The fellow standing with his arms crossed glances idly in your direction.

Airis slips into the shadows.

Iskander remains out of sight.

In reply to Iskander (msg # 45):

You hear chye singing, and then a ruckus starts. A moment later and the guard runs over to the balcony, curses and starts to head aroundthe mezanine to get to the stairs.

15:17, Today: Iskander rolled 13 using 3d6.  stealth - 16.
Iskander immediately takes advantage of the guards absence, and sneaks towards the salon!

In reply to Iskander (msg # 47):

Per check on the door

17:00, Today: Iskander rolled 10 using 3d6.  perception (13).

Airis follows along, watching for anyone else that might walk in.

In reply to Airis Moonshadow (msg # 50):

The door has a couple of visible nails in the upper corner, and probably
has a bell affixed to the inner side.

16:18, Today: Iskander rolled 14 using 3d6.  traps - 13+1 (attentive +1 long tasks, -3 to notice interuptions) Iskander whispers to Airis: "I've found a trap...watch my back, whilst I take care of this, please?"

In reply to Iskander (msg # 52):

Iskander is able to slude a knife around the edge of the door, just opening it enough to reach the bell and immobilize the clapper with the pount of his blade.
