The wizard moves along, and busies himself, then starts out close to sundown to find the address on the piece of paper. He has to make a couple of u-turns, but eventually finds his way. The house is largish, maybe 3 stories, or two and an attic, in a wealthy section of town which, thankfully, seems quiet. There is a smallish yard, separated from the other properties by a small brick wall.
Finn waits, as the sun dips under the horizon, noting that some light appears in the house. The Wizard starts to fear that he has been set-up, when the elf steps out of the shadows, and move towards him.
“Good”, he says simply. “E’ has some documents which belong to me. On the second floor ‘tis a desk, and inside will be a scroll case. He pulls of a piece of parchment, and shows a red symbol of a snake eating itself, making a continual circle. “The papers will ‘ave this mark on em. Take whatever else you like, but the papers are mine.”
“Questions?”
[OOC]
The elf shakes his head. “I think I’ll just wait out here, make sure there ain’t any problems.”
[OOC]
Let me know any preparations. I’ll post a map tomorrow.

Greg,Map of the House is attached. The way Fate works on movement is that you can be anywhere within a "zone", For our purposes, the house will have 4 zones, bottom floor west and east (broken by stairs) and upper floor west and east.

[Gm Notes]
Nesme Known Aspects: Riders of Nesme; Occasionally Plagued by Orcs
[Narrative]
Finn closes his eyes for a moment, and sends his senses into the house, using the crest he saw as a guide. His thoughts quickly narrow in on a roll-top desk that’s in a smallish office on the second floor. (Bottom left room on the second floor map. We’ll say it has a window, and that it’s even open.)
Keeping his eyes closed, he changes his thoughts, focusing in on life in the house. He senses a human presence on the first floor, a bunch of smaller life forms, seemingly under the house, and a small life form in the office on the second floor, likely a cat.
[OOC]
So, this is a good place to remind folks about the various ways dice rolls can be helpful, specifically the 4 actions: overcome, create an advantage, attack, or defend. One is creating an advantage, where you use your skills or the environment to create an aspect that you can use, usually free. The obvious example is setting fire to the place, which creates the aspect ‘on fire.’ Other example, would be throwing caltrops, casting silence, or creating a distraction.
I’m not saying Greg should use any of those, or even create an advantage now, but it seemed like a good place to bring it up.
Also, I spoke to Chuck and he is working on a Cleric of the Frostmaiden.
Also, also, I'm noting the same problem with Groups, in that emails seem to be coming directly to me (or sent directly to the player) and not through the group. Not sure why, but until I work it out, maybe you can all cc the group on emails?
[Rolls]
Rolls Papers: Divination (+1) + 3 (0,1,1,1) : Result +4 Great.
Rolls Life: Divination (+1) + 3 (0,1,1,1) : Result +4 Great.
OK, sounds like a plan.
Step 1: Use his only skill in divination to find what room the papers
are in and if there are people there.
Step 2: Assuming he knows the right window, use his 3 points of
transmutation to normal bird-ify himself and get to the roof.
There are more steps, but it depends on knowing if there are are people about.

[Gm Notes]
Unknown House Aspects: Owner is home.
[Narrative]
The wizard blurs as feather sprout across his body, his belongings quickly covered and then gone, as his shape shrinks. By the time the transformation is complete, a small bird hovers in the air. It flits back and forth, before taking off for the window.
Hovering outside the window, the bird spies a cat lazing on a chair next to the desk. Calling on his arcane powers, the finn-bird whistles a soft and low song, bringing forth the sense of sleep. The wizard can’t be sure, but believes the cat is asleep. There’s not much difference between the before and after for the cat.
The bird flits into the window, and lights on the ground next to the desk, and resumes his normal form.

Unknown House Aspects: Owner is home.
New Aspect on Finn: WHAT DID YOU SAY?
[Narrative]
Hoping to mask his sounds from both the cat and any other occupants, Finn draws on his ability to draw things into existence, trying to bend it to stop something from coming into existence, namely sound. As he does so, his ears seem to feel pressure around them, but he also notes that all of the ambient sounds in the room have disappeared.
Satisfied that he is making much less noise, he moves to examine the desk, and is confronted immediately that the desk appears to be locked. Neither the roll-top, nor the drawers appear eager to open.

Ties in FATE means you succeed but usually with a minor consequence. So, you did cast a silence spell, but had something else occur.
This is a good example of the back and forth. If you want, you can spend a fate point and invoke an aspect, and either re-roll, or add +2 to the roll and get a different result, but would then lose the new apsect and the fate point.

New Aspect on Finn: WHAT DID YOU SAY?
[Narrative]
Finn tries to open the lock on his own, poking at it with this or that, though finds no success. He sighs, pulls the wand, and casts a spell. The lock seems to melt a little, and a click is heard. A moment later,t he lock looks the same as before. Finn pushes up the roll-top, and quickly examines the contents. It only take a little bit of searching foe the scroll-tube with the documents – Ledger pages, it appears. Also in the desk is a couple of gold coins, what looks to be a note, and a dagger.
The cat continues to snooze.
