Nori peers over the portraits, both appraising them and looking for anything that might indicate hidden secrets.

Nori doesn't find anyone of interest on the portraits, nor can she estimate its value; art is such a subjective science...
Meanwhile, Jinx looks at the bookcase; she finds there is a lock on it and it is indeed locked.
Mystery!
Anything else intrepid house hunters?

Jinx tries to fiddle with the lock: oddly, she thinks she should have opened it, but some force is keeping it secured.

Looking around at the valuables, Darb tries to discern how much things are worth, and whats worth taking.
Appraise: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Then, seeing Jinx almost unlock the door, Darb slides under her legs and gives it a try himself.

"See cat lady? This is how you do it!"

Darb tries to open it, too... but once again, he can tell here's some strange force at work keeping it locked.

Frustrated at his failed attempt, Darb starts looking around to see if he can figure out why his superior fingers didn't get the job done.

Darb find nothing that would make him think that it shouldn't be hampering it. Spoopy.

I'll save a bit of trouble
Nori's newfound magical abilities come in handy as she identifies an abjuration aura over the lock. I'll leave it to Nori to figure it out. Doesn't seem impossible, but still difficult.

Wakiyan looks around the room for clues that might help the party.

Sorry, I'll keep up with the pbp more been busy with school and college stuff.

Hey Nori. Any thoughts on this thing?
Belhaim map combat map
Wakiyan looks around... while he doesn't find any clues, he does notice a trap that both Darb and Jinx missed on the bookcase! One of the handles has been trapped with a spring-loaded needle and it's only from the sheer luck that they haven't been able to unlock the thing yet that they missed triggering it.
Now there's a lock and a trap to remove!

Since Nori is not on for a bit, I'll roll the Spellcraft for her
Nori spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
She tells the party that it is locked by an arcane lock. It appears that the Jinx and/or Darb should eventually be able to unlock the thing, but she also notices that it is keyed to a certain object that will automatically suppress the effect. But what object is it, though?
F Catfolk Unchained rogue 3 | AC 18 T 14 FF 14 | HP 18/22 | F +3 R +7 W +2 | Init +4 | Per +6 | Diplomacy +7 | Sense Motive +6
More concerned with the trap, Jinx moves out of direct fire and tries to disable the trap.

Wanting to avoid springing the trap, Darb tries to disable that first.

I'll just redirect Darb's roll to the lock :P
Jinx expertly removes the trap; in fact, she was able to pry the needle out!
As Darb manages to work his skills past the magical lock, he finds another plethora of books.
Nori in particular, notes that there is a magical aura from many of the tomes.
Vishkanya
Nori sweeps the area with detect magic to see if she can find the paired item.

Nori doesn't find the paired item... but does find some magical items within the bookcase!

Figuring the vast wealth of the items he just examined, Darb quicky scoops up the books into his pack.

Umm Darb, we are suppose to be cataloging the items, not grabbing items.

But you are stopping the fun! And loots. And I'm sure there are no repercussions for taking things from the house :)

Darb walks up to Wakiyan, eyes opened wide and a dagger in his hand.
"Why Darb not take books? Stupid people outside give many shiney for these. Writing about books gives no shiney. BLUE MAN HAVE BETTER PLAN?"

We are getting paid to write down what's here. They are paying us for them to take the stuff out. It's a win win.

Jinx said it. we are getting paid to look around and write down what's here!
So far the person paying us the most for jobs is the one saying look but don't touch. I would hate to ruin the chance of the next job.
I don't know what contacts you have made but the town is big, but not that big. Would you trust the person you sold the books to not to talk?

As the party decides if they will loot or leave it, there are 3 exits; a pair of doors on either side, and a trapdoor that goes up.

Jinx and Wakiyan find nothing unusual with the left door; it is unlocked.

Darb makes a fake stabbing motion at both Jinx and Wakiyan, and sets the books back down.
Then, mumbling under his breath, "Better get paid for this, or I'm coming back at night and taking them myself."
Belhaim map combat map
Jinx opens the door as Darb threatens to burgle the place upon lack of payment.
The bedchamber is richly appointed, with three armoires and three tall wardrobes, a canopied bed with a large locked chest at its foot, a writing desk and chair, elaborate marble tub, and a thick bearskin rug.

Darb runs over to the chest and tries to open it.

Before Darb can reach the chest, the party hears the sound of a bear growling... straight from the bearskin rug! Otherwise, the rug does not move, but just 'growls' at the party.
Ignoring that and still looking in the chest Darb?

Darb hides, and the growling stops as the little goblin leaves in a flurry, hiding behind the stairwell.
Darb sneaks in again, and the rug growls once more! Assuming undeterred, Darb begins to work the lock... which is already unlocked, key in the chest!
Opening the chest to see your reward?

of course darb opens that shit

Darb just opens the chest, revealing glinting, shiny metal inside.
However, the fear that something large looms nearby takes hold as a massive bear, with blackened fur, horrifically feral eyes, and horns is now in the center of the room. It howls out before it begins to attack!

Wakiyan sends a frost of pure chill at the bear, causing some of its skin to turn black with frostbite... but not near as much as he expected. The bear turns around, stepping towards the undine man before mauling him.
