Richard, Warren, Scott, Eddie and Norman all end up in the same area.

"Hey, fellas," says Eddie. "There are a bunch of artists up on the wharf painting, and several of them are painting the building. We tried to get inside, but the door was locked and nobody answered our knocking. I did hear the waves crashing against something metal underneath it, though, but we can't seem to see whatever it is. Have you had any luck?"

Warren Kaine:

I take my hat off and wipe my forehead with the back of my hand, "Not really although Richard here seems to have found another strange house".

I run my fingers through my hair before replacing my hat, "Oh and a witch, mustn't forget the witch"

Scott shoots and incredulous look towards Warren and crosses his arms skeptically.

"A witch." he repeats slowly. "As in a flying broomstick, tall pointy black hat type of witch?"

"Given what we've witnessed, I would not think it impossible," Norman adds, nervously glancing behind him. "What was this about a house?"

Richard replies "I don't know if it is anything or not but there is an old home that was originally built by a woman and her children that has been described as more of a fortress. The woman had been accused of witchcraft back in the 1600's. Her and her family disappeared after sometime and no one knows what happened to them. Now there is a crazy old lady living there who claims to be a distant relative of hers. Thought it sounded kinda like the type of place our friend Phil might like to hold up in while hanging out here. But like I said I don't have anything that really connects anything to Phil so it may just be a wild goose cahse. I should know more tomorrow after checking on the records of the home."

Richard looks out at the barn and all the artist then turns to the others and says "I have another strong lead I need to follow up on in the morning to see if it turns out to be anything, but I wont know until then. I am still looking to find out where the city records are kept as well."

After for pausing for a moment Richard ask "So have you guys uncovered anything yet?"

"No, nothing yet," says Eddie, "but we need to get a look at that metal thing. I'd also like to find out where the records are kept, to learn who owns that building up on the wharf. What's your other lead?"

Scott's easy smile shrivels to a tight frown as Richard relates what they've managed to dig up. When Richard and Eddie fall silent, he issues an impressed whistle.

"Quite a tale! You fellas have certainly been busy." he remarks. "But maybe we should start looking for this metal object before we lose the light."

Warren Kaine:

"Metal thing? What metal thing, did I miss something?"

Scott turns to address Warren.

"When we were up on the pier there investigating the building Eddie heard a metallic clanging sound that seemed to coincide with with the waves crashing in." he says, motioning vaguely towards the building. "We weren't able to see anything from up on top of the pier, but we were hoping we might be able to catch a glimpse of whatever it was from down here."

From here, the wharf is made of stone and the building is made of wood. Nor do you hear any metal clanging.

After listening to the conversation about the noise Richard looks over tat the Red warehouse, closes his eyes and clears his mind. with his mind cleared of any other thoughts and his eyes closed he simply starts to listen to everything he can hear trying to see if he can hear and type of 'metal clanking' sound as described by the others.

Ben,here is a listen check (58%) if needed [dice]0[/dice] this is a success

Richard opens his eyes up and says "Well I can here birds. people talking, the surf, and some bells ringing on some of the boats but nothing like what you are talking about and nothing really coming from the warehouse"

Richard stares at the peer for a moment and then says "You know the peer could be hollowed out underneath of the warehouse, it has the stone wall built up around it so no one would even notice. There could be sometype of operation going on down there." Richard points at the construction of the peer as he is talking

"You must be right," says Eddie. "If the metal is underwater, that would explain why we can't see it. Is anyone a good swimmer?"

Warren Kaine:

I laugh at Eddies question,

Warren thinking:   Is he serious?

"Sorry not my thing"

Scott shakes his head at Eddie's question but looks towards the building.

"Well, we only heard the clanging when on the other side of the building, and even then it was faint.." he suggests tentatively, "Lets at least walk down and see if we can't catch wind of it."

Warren Kaine:

Warren thinking:   I prefer this to Eddie's swimming suggestion

"Ok Scott you lead and I'll follow you".
