cal was extremely bored. They had been waiting a long time. As night fell, he gradually got closer to Michel.

Dr Carter will, with some frustration, join the others on the boulders when it is clear that the boulders were not, in fact the hideout of the people we were trying to find.
when it becomes dark he pulls out his wand and calls a small flame to the tip, he then makes a small bowl of rocks to make a fire pit that will obscure the light at a distance, but allow those close to see the light and feel the warmth
When it gets too dark to see, Michael will light a torch.
Once it gets too much later than that, he'll head back to the cart. No sane person would be out this time of night. But then again... these aren't sane people...
well, with the lack of reaction, i assume people aren't reacting quickly. Either way, the raven is faster then all the rest of you, and flies off to the town.
Michael is alerted to it.
He marks the place of the moon, determining what time it is.
"Might just be a bird. Or they might have seen us here. They'll probably be back this time tomorrow night, so we will need to come after then."
He picks up the now sleeping Calvin and carries him back to the cart, with a lit torch stuck in a special loop on his hat.
the planned ambush doesn't result in a success. Eventually, when you come back got the house, goodman is sitting in his study with a drink. He doesn't even say anything unless you come to him.
and the night goes on.
the next day, there is a paper taped to the inside of front door.
"Yeah, don't worry. No rush. Have it done in a week or two. I wouldn't assign you something terribly important and withold information. That would be stupid. There's food in the kitchen, if any of you can cook. I've got some errands to run.."
cal has the sloppiest trance ever. Seriously. He tends to sit down, and before he gets into a meditation position, trances, and falls over.
Micheal gives a quiet laugh and props Cal's head up under a pillow.
He is not concerned with the seeming lack of progress. These things take time.
He falls into his strange trance and awakes the next morning.
He makes a heavy breakfast and prepares to search.
"Anyone else with ideas? We check that place every night. After the time the bird showed up."
Drake goes into a trance state on his bed. The next morning he gets up around 5 am and stays were he is and starts going over plans for the day.
Michael will look around town, as if a tourist would. He causally listens for people talking about odd happenings anywhere. He stops and listens if he hears anything, pretending to be interested in something nearby. This is how he found most of his jobs, and he has mastered the art.
not much is learned from the townsfolk. They don't seem to be worried as a whole.
Drake goes around town and buys a couple of things for combat, entertainment, his expeiments and studies. While he is doing this he listens for any more information on he's targets.
He buys a couple of note books, a few beaker, a book about a headhunter, and a sharping stone.

The doctor first goes to examine the boulders with the light of day to aid him in looking the place over, then he tries for the bar, he spends a rather small amount of coin on maintaining the facade that he's drinking as much as would be standard while he listens in on the usual mummer of the crowd.
"What was it made of? Wood I could just break. Might be able to blow the lock off, though if anything else. What did it look like?"
"Ugh. The hard kind... let's go see then. Maybe find it today, then tomorrow after the time they're there, go and open it while they're there in it."
with the doctor's help, they eventually find a small compartment hidden on the other side of the boulder. Inside there is a mesh of a grate covering a small lever. You can barley fit a finger through the grate, and it's too far in to pull with just your fingers.
"I got that. Let me take a crack at it."
He goes to his cart and takes out some metal working stuff.
He bends some wire and tries it out in the mechanism.
the mechanism gets pulled, and you hear a shifting back near the door.
Michael goes and checks the door, gun out in front of him.
the door is open. It opens into a tunnel going down.
no response comes up.
cal tugs at miachel's sleeve.
"Let's go!"
Probably not the best idea to go into a random hidden tunnel.
Drake walks over to the door and looks down the tunnel.
True it would not be the first thing I have done that goes against my better judgment. I will go first.
He lights a torch and starts descending into the tunnel while casting mage armor.
Drake is surrounded that looks like it is infused with his robes then it fades.
"Not random. This will be where they do magic. Doctor, you notice the most things. Check for traps."
you don't see any traps.
Michael will continue on following the Doc.
