The elder sister looks around, ticking off rooms and doors on her fingers.

"Water filter, living quarters, actual workroom, entryway.  Unless there's a door hidden behind a cabinet or something, we've covered the place.  It's as big as it needs to be for one man to pursue secret research."

Masugatan helps Emma explore, and more to the point, guards her.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 213):

"Hmmph!"

Masugatan refuses to dignify the ‘hmmmmf’.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 213):

a little exploration in the bedroom reveals something odd; there is a large stone slab, that looks to be buried deep below the hill protruding into the room, next to it is a chamberpot.


the slab is noticeably clean and free of dust.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 216):

Emma will investigate the slab, bending over considerably in front of Masugatan to look very closely, making her leather skirt fit her healthy form a little tighter than usual. It would seem she likes fire...or at least sparks!

[Private to GM: Rolled 1 under thaumatology to identify why there is no dust on the stone.]

Masugatan subtly checks Emma’s backside for traps.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 218):

Oh, there is a trap there all right! Thoroughly checking it just might set it off though!

Once back outside Jednesa carefully reexamines herself and handaxe for any slime splatters and rubs dirt on and scrapes it back off of any suspicious looking spots.

Then she settles in to wait for the party to finish up exploring and looting the alchemist's quarters.

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 220):

Christine checks on Chris, and settles down beside Jednessa, talking about life in general.

"Found something, Emma?"

In reply to Elaina Grattan (msg # 222):

"Not sure..."

[Private to GM: My bad, she rolled 1 under Thaumatology.]

Masugatan continues to guard Emma’s trap.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 224):

why isnt the mage investigating magic?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 225):

When she was here, she looked around and did not find anything more magical. With stuff around she does not like, she did not hang around. But Emma passed the thaumatology roll, so it is not required. Basically with the porn around, Christine does not care...

Some people just don’t care about the things that matter.

In reply to Emma Wilson (msg # 223):

might bea Clean spell, might be Disintegrate...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 228):

Clean spell gets rid of dirt, disintegrate has the same effect as Crispin, and upsets her companion. Why would she want to get involved, and annoy her friends?

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 229):

it might be good to know which.

"What's unsure?"  The elder sister gives Masugatan a side-eye as she moves beside Emma to follow her gaze.

In reply to Evelina Grattan (msg # 231):

the difference is whether it is safe to sit upon

"So, am I to understand this outcrop might have a spell of magical cleaning -- or might completely destroy anything that touches it?  Seems simple enough."

The elder sister reaches into her pouch and pulls out a small stone, just the size to fit into a closed fit (or a sling pouch).  Looking for a relatively level spot on the slab in question, she reaches out and drops the oval stone onto the rock, then steps back and waits.

Masugatan's returns Evelina's side eye, and raises the stakes by throwing in a lewd eyebrow raising.  Up and down, up and down.

Evelina scowls at Masugatan.  "Keep that for Valerie.  I'm not interested."

“Keep what for Valerie?” He asks, all powdered sugar and innocence.
