Callista had kept quiet as they eventually made their way down to the vaults; Arin seemed to have the situation well in hand, and he clearly had more experience convincing nobility to go along with his plans. So she kept her eyes sharp, watching for any peculiar behavior... Not that there was any shortage of that among their assembled group.

Once the vault was opened, Callista had to catch the gasp of excitement rising from her chest. Anything in here would be a bigger score than she'd ever seen; she understood the appeal now. She was being closely watched, though, and even if that wasn't the case she would have to be a far greater fool than she was to try and sneak herself a bonus. Instead, she listened to the others as she circled the room, running her fingers over the walls and searching for anything out of place.

[color=a187be]"Well, between the secret lock and the regular for behind that, we've got some real talent on our hands. Not only would they had to get that secret wall open, with a certain type of blood no less, but our thief would have had to know exactly where that blood needed to be. Either they had to detect the presence of a secret door, Ernestus might be able to check if the magic is visible to a wizard, or they had to observe it being opened."[/color]

She sighed and poked at a chipped bit of mortar.

[color=a187be]"Still a lot of questions there, I'm afraid... And it doesn't help that I have my own theory to add."[/color]

She knocked on the wall and frowned.

[color=a187be]"I'm not sure the thief used that door at all. A thief only uses the front door if that's the only option. If I wanted to get into a vault like this, I'd find a weak point in the walls and get in through there... But we'd need more time here to determine that."[/color]

She stood up and sighed.

[color=a187be]"Is there anything else we should know here, or are you planning on having these fine gents here drag us to our horses?"[/color]
