Zairiah starts searching the body, very relieved that they were able to bring down the wizard without getting burned to death OR having him teleport away. Now, hopefully, they just had to hide the body to avoid questions, and be super careful to avoid possible fiery death traps when they go to break into the warehouse.
Zairiah
"Anything good?" he asks as secures his Battle Axe and shuffles his gear for the next go around.
Zairiah opens the bag briefly, but doesn't get everyone together to evaluate and pass out loot yet since they have a dead body on their hands and need to see if they can safely get into the warehouse.
Yeah, so far looks really good, but we might have to wait to check it out fully until we take care of things here.
Zairiah
"It's a bag of damn apricots, isn't it?"
"I have a thought," Paritosh says with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Why don’t I walk around the room, step on every piece of carpet, rug, towel, or any other cloth I can find, and chant a few magical phrases like, 'Vezaroth Khaar, Felek'thun Draz!' and 'Luthri'ma Vasor, Kesh'ra'ra Thal!' Who knows, something might activate."
He smiles, clearly enjoying his own suggestion. "It’s not exactly scientific, but it could be a fun experiment. And if nothing else, I might just get an amusing reaction from the fabric itself!" He winks, clearly confident in his absurd approach.

Fadilah says, "Move the unfortunate somewhere out of sight so that I can stop concentrating on the illusion and try to find a spell to help!"
"I can try to get a spell to locate an object, though I've never seen this specific carpet before so I might not be able to use magic to find it. I could also try to get a spell to detect magic and just look for magic carpets in the warehouse."
Paritosh will drag the body inside.
Paritosh tries to drag the body inside but the door is locked.
Zairiah responds to Paritosh.
Not apricots, unless that is a euphemism for a ... grenade or bomb or something. As for the testing, I worry that if you do that, you'll hit a magical trap and burn the place down... remember, brotherhood of flame.
Zairiah finds one of the old boxes or barrels or even blankets that was in the alley and puts the body inside, so Fadilah can drop the illusion and we can move on to trying to clean up the mess and break in. ... If there is nothing in the alley itself, Zairiah has Paritosh help her roll the body up in the self-cleaning feast hall carpet.
'Um I think its locked big guy" Frackit says stifling a laugh.
" Lets check the door for traps and then unlock the door"
Frackit
"Interesting. This door is locked, but my tools ain't gonna cut it." he looks at the walls next to it and begins to tap it.

After conferring with her gen briefly, Fadilah says, "Let me give it a try."
Fadilah tries to knock the door but spell was cast at a higher level than she is.
Zairiah looks confused, and then tries to climb the wall to see if there is another way in from above.

"If all else fails I have something for this" He says pulling out a warhammer.
'A spell that conjures a huge hammer I can smash things with"
Zairiah climbs up to the top and finds a trapdoor on the roof.
Zairiah checks for traps
If she doesn't detect any, she tries the trapdoor.
If it seems locked, she will attempt to pick it.

Fadilah casts a spell that simply creates a temporary hole in the wall.
"This should last about two hours, hopefully enough time."
Zairiah
Fadilah and rest walk through the hole in the warehouse. Most of the warehouse interior is taken up by a huge
pile of banapples, over a hundred lo-gallon ceramic jars,
and laboratory equipment.
In the back of the warehouse which you can now see is about 10 of these 10 gallon ceramic jars on top a floating carpet.
There is also a desk in the back.
Paritosh will eat a couple banapples while the others figure out what the heck is going on here.
Paritosh finds the banapples irresistible.
"What are those things called again?" he says pointing at the fruit in Paritoshs' hand.
" Cause until I got here I never saw one"
"That looks like the carpet," Fadilah says, pointing to the obvious floating rug.
Zairiah will open the trapdoor and come down, and if that doesn't work, she will climb back down and sheepishly go through the hole in the wall, thanking Fadilah for getting them in.
Banapples. Zairiah says to Frackit, catching the end of the conversation.
Responding to Fadilah she says Yeah, that's a relief. What's in those jars? Let's be careful, in case it's poison or something. Once we find out what it is, we can either take it with us or unload it before we go.
She goes to check out the desk to see if it has any answers.
Zairiah opens the unlocked trapdoor and a fire ward is set off.
Saving Throw vs. spell , fail she takes fire damage
She then climbs down.
Zairiah adds a plea for healing to her response to Frackit, embarrassed doubly because she almost burned to death trying to get in, and they just walked in.
Once healed, Zariah goes over to check out the desk.

"I didn't know you were going for BBQ" Frackit says as he offers healing.
""Think I'm gonna need more healing, you still smell like braised ham" He chuckles.
Zairiah endures the well-deserved jibes, and smiles weakly as soon as her lips are healed enough to turn up without causing pain.
Thank you, I appreciate the help greatly.
Nura begins attempting to remove the jars from the carpet.
"Are these wizards Illusionists by any chance? Could this be an elaborate illusion?" Frackit says poking at one of the barrels of banapples.
There is a large pile of banapples on the floor. Inside the jars is a viscous fluid that smells somewhat sweet but chemically and resiny at the same time.
"Perhaps we should load the carpet up with these banapples. They are delicious." He starts in on another one.
Paritosh will help, hoping to bring some banapples.
Fadilah investigates the odd liquid. An explosive? An alchemical solution? A waste product?
Fadilah
and explosive oil, used in military operations as a
deadly weapon. Attacking with liquid star is a two-step
process. A target must be soaked with the oil first
(requiring a successful to hit roll in combat) and the
oil ignited on a subsequent round. As a result, using
liquid star often requires two successful attacks. A
tufenk (see Arabian Adventures sourcebook, p. 96) is
usually employed to deliver liquid star at a range of
about 10 feet.
Once ignited, one pint of liquid star burns the target
for three rounds, causing 2d6 points of damage in the
first round and 1d6 points of damage in the second and
third.
Ignited liquid star is so hot that it cannot be
extinguished by immersion in water. Standard methods
of smothering ignited liquid star (covering with sand
or dirt, wrapping in a carpet, etc) have only a 50%
chance of success. In the event of a direct hit, all items
carried by a target must save against magical fire or be
completely destroyed.
Liquid star can be obtained in most cities of Zakhara
in sealed, pint-sized jars for as little as 7-15 gp.
Although there are many ways to make this flammable
oil, the most popular method in the Free Cities is to
distill the essence of bannaples, a fruit that grows in
abundance along the Northern coast.
"These are bombs," says Fadilah flatly. "This would suggest that the Brotherhood of Flame was preparing to destroy some location in a conflagration."
"Interesting?" Frackit says as he helps move them. He examines one.
With that bit of information, Paritosh takes the job of moving them a bit more seriously.
Nura slows down and begins to treat the jars more gently as she removes them.
