"That is why I said =if=", he said with a shrug. "But if you want to ignore a decent lead in our 'task', that is fine. You can go have a drink or three in one of the bars while we do our job."
Her eyes are still closed as she talks, so is is probably describing what she sees through Whisper's eyes.
"There is a well nearby which should act as a good landmark. The house is occupied as it has a chimney billowing smoke. Seems to be in a quite area as it is a dead end. There are people wandering about but they do seem to avoid the house. Can't see inside as the windows are all shuttered. Ah. Found one that isn't at the front of the house. Need to get closer though."
ooc: To be clear. Jaliera can see this only from the distance. She needs to get closer so that Whisper can look through a window.
As for Bern's question, what is the 'right' house? What are you looking for? It does match the description, pretty precisely, that Sindar was provided and where to find it.
[[ sez you <chuckle> The house was described as 'dilapidated' and 'abandoned' ... not as an active household <shrug> Without more specific info, Bern stands by his 'assessment' and question <weg> ]]
OOC: It seems like every building in this neighborhood is dilapidated and the exact phrasing was -'people stay away from it for all kinds of different reasons.' which is not the same as 'abandoned'.
"So you have looked at =every= house on the north side of the city", he quipped. Then sighed.
"Sorry. Just a bit 'wound up'", he said with an apologetic smile. "So lets go check the house. But we might want to think about how to approach it since it is occupied. What are are we going to say to them?"
"Once we get closer, I may be able to see more. Then we can decide what we want to do. We did say that we were only going to scout out the location this afternoon."
Based on Jaliera's word, the party approaches the location of this target to get close enough (100 feet) that Whisper can look into a window. Once there, she sends Whisper on a flyby mission to look inside.
OOC: You can tell me where the party goes, relative to the location from the attached map. I provided a 100' scale and pointed to the building. The one, window that isn't shuttered is on the "well" side.
He wished he could have had a better situation. It was tactically impossible to more 'around' the building to check front and back. All he could do was work with what he had. Since the others seemed more focused on the house, he decided to keep his attention focused on the square.
He watched the area and the house. He was mostly getting a feel of how people moved and avoided the area. Though the description matched, he couldn't be sure without some other obvious sign.
He was not sure that it was worth abandoning this part of their job after just one set back. "Are there no other houses that are worth checking out", he asked.
