Part 2: Leaving the Watchtower and the hour is getting late

[Dracos]

Plenty of those sorts of signs around.  Checking inside the next room he found three doors, one to the north, one to what appeared to be a storage closet, and one to the east.

There was a single table in this room, attached to the floor, old and well used.

[Olvelsper]

Since he had no reason to give up now, Jan went north again!

[Dracos]

It was a dead end.  There was old dried blood stains along a carpet in the middle of the room.  A few heavy bookshelves pushed over around it.  It looked like some violence had occured here.

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

Jan frowned as he moved the book shelves aside as best he could. Maybe one of these books could show what the situation was here.

[Dracos]

Nope, just bare wall beneath them.  No sign of why there was bloodshed in this room.

Jan frowned, and left the room, crossing the supply closet as he checked out the other path to the left.

Leets watched Jan wander from house to house, yawning tiredly as the excitement from earlier wore off. He glanced at the shadows spreading, trying to estimate the time that passed. After a rough estimate, he shrugged and quietly slipped towards Ryder.

"Mister Hakubi, you're turn to take watch," he mumbled, shaking the taller man.

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder jolted awake as if he had discovered The Question in his sleep.  Thankfully for all, he did not, but still it was quite a jolt.

After regaining his senses, Ryder nodded, "Alright Leets, go ahead and get some sleep.  And call me Ryder, ok?"

[Dracos]

Heading into the other room, he found what seemed to be the remains of a master bedroom.  Pillaged in a like manner to the others.

Leets nodded sleepily as he slipped off to his own corner to catch a quick nap.

[Olvelsper]

"What the heck happened here? Seems like something slaughtered everyone in town just to rob them blind. Must've happened fairly recently since the blood stains are still back there, but I wonder what happened to the bodies." Jan hummed as he continued exploring.

[Dracos]

Heading around, the house was empty.  He'd explored everything but the storage closet he passed earlier.

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

Jan decided to check out the closet.

[Dracos]

It is locked.  It is in fact, the only locked door in the house.

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

Jan blinked, looking around for anything he could use to break the door down. He didn't want to burn his energies in transforming unnecessarily.
