Annabelle Winston[9]: You put the book back and leave the study. Walking out, your shoes click on the polished wood floor. Everything in here is polished and pristine. The walls are polished and smooth stone, painted with beautiful frescoes, and with marble statues of different gods and goddesses. Following the sound of running water, you find a fountain filled with koi, and a grey cat with black spots laying on it in a sunbeam. You continue walking through the house, until you find a pair of oak doors. You open them quietly, and look inside to see Dis starting at a bowl of water, rolling some dice.
Jason/Octavian Grey[3]+2 [3]+2: Jason checked the door for traps. Unfortunately, even though he was a geek, he wasn't actually used to checking for traps. What did he expect, that all he needed to do was roll high enough? That's silly. However, he didn't know how he did, and thus, as far as he was concerned, there was only a tripwire trap that would activate if you opened the door fully. Ah, ignorance is bliss, isn't it? Well, at least until a trap gets you in the behind. All of the sudden, Carter springs a trap on the door, and an arrow hits him in the side, and the guy Carter was watching falls off the roof!
Carter Graham[7] [9]: You give the door a once over. It seems incredibly likely that it's trapped, it's a rich guy's house, it doesn't matter what year the world was made to look like, rich people are not going to leave their houses open to outsiders. You don't really understand how to disable the traps, but you have experience looking for tiny things that might be important, it was kind of your job. Octavian doesn't seem to be doing a good job of checking, as it doesn't take to long before he declares it done. You are taking much longer, though partially because you aren't entirely focused on it. Your attention is split as you are also spending time watching the mysterious stalker guy. You honestly don't know what his problem is, maybe he works here? He doesn't look like the kind of person who would own this house. Maybe the owner's son? You'd assume that he would have done something by now. Maybe he triggered a silent alarm? Well, no use worrying too much, for all you know he just thinks Octavian and you are weird and doesn't want to be seen staring. I mean, you obviously don't belong around here, and it's not too hard to see you're breaking in. Perhaps you should have paid more attention to the door, as you feel something painful shoot into you, right above the waist! You grasp at your side and feel something long and thin, probably some sort of arrow. A burning sensation fills your side, but it doesn't distract you enough not to realize creepy stalker guy just fell.
Russel "Fish" Fischer[7]+2 [7]+1: You enter stealth mode, you're used to it, though normally you are hiding from people you want to photograph, not highly important shapeshifting magicians who are stalking your mom, but the basic principle is the same. Find a place to hide, avoid eye contact, and don't look like you are staring. Unfortunately, that doesn't work as well of the person knows you are watching, and Dis knows. Dis and his lackey are doing something, wait, are they checking the door? Why would he do that ifit was Dis's home? This keeps getting weirder and weirder. You hear a sound like a string breaking, and an arrow appears in Dis's side! You don't have much time to think on that though, as your foot slips, and you tumble off the rooftop!
