"Seems to be the only plan, but I would suggest Val and me take the lead once we are down there," Caelynn says.

"Fine by me," Daos says. "I'm clearly not suited for the front line."

"Clearly," Caelynn jokes as she pats Daos on the shoulder. Though, providing everyone is ready, she leads the group to where the trap door was before.

The party is able to return to the warehouse without much trouble and enter through the trapdoor, the spell broken. However, when they descend down the stairs, they find the bodies of Simon and the assassins are missing. Three doors lead of the room, which seems to be some sort of reception area. The party notices a teleportation circle marked in the bloodstained carpet on the floor, and a desk at the back of the room.
"Looks like they cleared out of here," Meine laments.

Daos moves closer to the circle to inspect it, see if it's still active or if he can figure out where it might lead to.

"I hope the children are alright," Caelynn says as she notes Simon's body gone.

"Yes, it seems he won't be facing justice for his crimes after all," Daos notes. "Do we know what will become of the orphanage without him?"

"I have no idea," Caelynn says. "Finding someone that actually cares about the orphaned children is going to be tricky."

As he examines the circle, Daos realizes that it's a permanent circle, designed to receive traveling mages. It could also be activated to teleport to another circle, but only with another teleportation spell. He vaguely remembers seeing it on the floor when they came here earlier, but it didn't quite register because of the battle.

"Well, wherever they went, there doesn't seem to be any real way to follow them," Daos remarks.

"If they had someone else who could cast the spell, yes," Tympany remarks. "Should we look around?"

"Might as well; they may have left behind a clue in their haste to clean up the place," Daos says. "But they also might have left behind some nasty booby traps, so keep your eyes peeled and your guard up."
Daos will start by casting Detect Magic as a ritual and then scanning the area for anything with an aura.

Caelynn also starts searching around for any possible traps or the like that might have been left behind.

Caelynn doesn't find any traps in this room with a rudimentary search. Daos detects strong magic coming from the circle, and a faint aura from behind the door on the right.

Daos points to the door. "I sense something behind that one. Might want to check it for traps."
