Mao
Nothing under the bed. No secret things hidden in the desk that you can find. Leim would know that the quill would not be of any use to pick locks with.
Ash
The only nearby sounds are coming from your companions.

As she couldn't find anything, Mao decides to check in the wardrobe. She investigates around, behind, passes her hand on top to find anything. After that she searches the inside thoroughly. (Elliot, what does she find?)

Loriana responds to Cedric, "I found some books, but nothing that contained spells. At least, I don't think so. Most of the books have detailed handwritten notes in the margins. It would take days to read them all." Satisfied that Stelrein is in charge of the scroll she says, "I'm going back to the room to search more. I'll let you know if I find anything else."
Before she leaves, Stelrein says, "I think it would be better if you stayed with Ash. She is apparently going forward and she may need assistance if she finds anything hostile.
Loriana's excitment dulls and her face drops momentarily, but she nods in agreement, "Yes. I'll go find Ash." Loriana leaves and catches up to Ash in the hallway. She waits silently while Ash searches the door.
After learning the spell, Stelrein hands the page to Cedric, "I believe you'll find this enlightening. If you do choose to learn the spell, make sure to see if any others would care to learn it. I would like you to also study the handwriting. If we come across handwriting that is similar, we will know that they are a mage, of some sort. And it may lead us to other spells."

As Lor approaches, Ash looks at her and asks softly. "What's up?" After hearing Lor's story that Stel thought she should stay with her, Ash says "No need Lor. Go ahead and check out the second room. I'm just checking the doors for stuff, but I'm not to open any so there shouldn't be any danger. If there is, all of you are close enough to help. I'll be OK."

Loriana nods, but before she leaves, she asks, "Um... would you want to put on some real clothes? There are three wardrobes in that room. I know I found a dress, but there's probably shirts and pants, too. Also there are sturdy belts. Do you want to come with me for a moment? I'm also going to tell Mao."
Loriana waits to hear Ash's response and then goes to the doorway of the first room. She looks around for Mao, sees her and walks up to her, "Mao, I have found some women's clothing. Would you want to come with me and change, or should I bring something in here for you," she glances at Leim. She sure wouldn't want to change with a guy around, but then they all did wake up in the undergarments, so maybe it didn't really matter.

"No, I'm OK for now," says Ash smiling at Lor. "I'll take a look after I get through with all the doors. I'm glad you found something that you like though."

Mao
There is nothing else of interest in the wardrobe.

Leim sighed and stood up from the chest head across the hall to the new room and look the other wardrobe with all the female clothing. “Okay we should be able find some hairpins here. Never seen a girls room without some useless hair crap laying about.” he went in to the wardrobe and started filling the clothing for pins or pendants.
Leim after looking threw the clothing exam the room for anything that could be used or break down to something to take care of locks. He stops and picked up the bear and exam it checking stitching and steams filling it to see if anything was hid inside. “Humph probly was a rich kid or something.”
He looked at the picture frame and checks it for anything useful it can be broke down from it of use.

(Elliot; when I wrote that she checks the wardrobe around, behind and on top, I ment on its outside - sorry, I think I didn't write it clear - does she find nothing there too?)
"Ah!" Mao nods, noticing Loriana's dress at the same time she tells her of her finding. She also notices that she seems happier than she's ever been seen since they met...
"We're almost done here," she says while searching in the clothes/garments in the wardrobe if there is anything inside, in a pocket or so. (Elliot?) She tells Lor of what they found and asks her where she and Ash are at. . "Leim, any idea, anything else to search here or are you ready to move? If you are, I am..." She then sees Leim rushing out of the room and follows him, giving an eloquent look at Loriana.

Leim
You can find a couple of hat pins in one of the wardrobes. Nothing is hidden in teddy or frames of pictures.
Mao
Still nothing I'm afraid. No personal items in the clothes, either.

Loriana nods at what Mao and Leim found, "Ash is in the hallway, checking the next door. I'm going to head back to the woman's room to continue searching. I'll meet you there when you are done here," Loriana re-enters the second room. She nods to Leim, hesitant at his presence, but curiousity compels her forward. She searches around him, careful not to get in his way.
She goes to the wardrobes, searching for anything interesting or unique. Then she goes to the bed, searching on/around/under it for anything useful. She looks at the teddy bear and smiles at it, reminiscing about her childhood. She glances at the chest, but decides to wait for Ash to check it out. Then, she goes and searches the dressing table. She looks curiously at the makeup case as she has never seen makeup before in her life.

Leim smiled as he grabs a few of the hatpins and stuck a few extra in his new tunic for later use. “Well now that we have these we should have no problems opening that chest.” he walked back across the hall and knee beside the chest and started to work on it.

After learning the spell, Stelrein hands the page to Cedric, "I believe you'll find this enlightening. If you do choose to learn the spell, make sure to see if any others would care to learn it. I would like you to also study the handwriting. If we come across handwriting that is similar, we will know that they are a mage, of some sort. And it may lead us to other spells."
Cedric's hands tremble, as he takes the spell scroll from Stelrein. "Of course I will learn it! Instantly! And I will have a look at those books they found - if they were studying here, then there should be some library somewhere."
He reads the scroll, and it is as if a veil is torn from his memory - he just knows he knew this once, and that it will again be engraved in his mind. Unfortunately no further memory is unveiled, and he wonders - the simple reading of the spell implanted it in his mind - would that be true only for spells he once knew, or also for spells unknown to him in the past? If the latter were true, then his memorizing capability would have been enhanced significantly - but then, how would he be sure, whether he once knew the spell, or not?
He considers who to pass the spell to - Rasidar and Mao would be the obvious choices, but they are down the hallway.

"Since this is a large area, and `twould seem stealth is compromised, I shall send more aid," Rasidar says to Mao. "You should be better able to cover the area with others to assist you."
Seeing that Mao has the situation under control, Rasidar nods to her, indicating her to carry on. He follows down the hallway, after hearing Loriana announce the healing spell with excitement. He sighs inwardly. He understands her enthusiasm, but knows that any effort at being discreet has long since been lost.
All the same, Rasidar silently thanks the Great Mana for leading them to a spell of healing. He knows it will come in entirely too handy before this matter is concluded...
Rasidar explains to Stelrein everything that Mao has discovered so far. Finally, he hands the clothes he found to Stelrein, Cedric, Homm, and finally Yairn, who has remained oddly silent.
"Cedric, might I examine the scroll once you have finished studying its magics?" Rasidar asks. "`Twould be best if all of us capable of spellcraft memorize this spell before we venture onward. I shall soon return it to you."
Finally, Rasidar turns to Stelrein.
"`Tis my thought to send Homm and Cedric onwards to assist Mao," he says to Stelrein. "Homm to uncover anything that might be hidden, and Cedric to examine the items of magic. Since `twould seem we have revealed our positions to anyone lurking, an expedient search would seem more useful than stealth."

Cedric hands the spell to Rasidar and says, "I have memorized, though not yet practised, it - I gather I would not need it again, so you better pass it on to the next one able to learn it." Then he re-considers and adds, "Though in case we may find additional members, it may be a good idea to have all spells we hopefully will find consolidated - I'll be willing to safeguard them, if you agree."
"And I very much would like to have a second look on those books Loriana found," he concludes after Rasidar had spoken to Stelrein of his intentions.
He then takes a shirt, pants and a belt from the assortment Rasidar brought with him and puts them on.

"Good idea," Mao replies to Rasidar saying he'll send more people to explore and search. "For my part, you could even all come and search too, if we just be careful not to be too noisy. Once we're sure there are no traps, everyone's eyes and hands would be useful."
As Leim comes back in the room, Mao assumes he found something to unlock the chest. She follows him and observes with curiosity while he attempts to pick the chest's lock.

Loriana
You will find footwear in one of the wardrobes, bt nothing else of interest. The dressing table has hair brushes and combs, and some hair clips and hair bands. The make up case has a small hand mirror, lipstick, and rouge in it. All look rather well used.
Leim
The lock clicks open easily with only a bit of careful prodding from the hat pin.
Cedric
You successfully learn the spell.

(Backtracking back to Mao...)
"Provided we do not intrude upon your searches, then `twill be done," Rasidar says.
(Back with the others...)
Rasidar accepts the spell from Cedric with a grateful smile. He entirely understands what magic is to a man like Cedric...
"Aye, `twas what I had intended," Rasidar agrees, nodding. "You are the most qualified of us to handle the spells. If you wish to safeguard the magic, you are more than welcome to do so."
"Aye, `tis no harm in it. The room should be safe for the present."
Rasidar turns to Stelrein once more.
"Mao sees no harm in the rest of us joining her in the search, provided we take caution and not make too much noise. We may proceed once the rest of you are ready."
Rasidar listens to Stelrein's response, then studies the spell...

Leim smiled as he pop the chest open “Humph that was pretty easy.” he rummage threw the chest.
His ears peek up as he felt someone look at him and lend back his at a weird angel look at Mao she appears upside to him. ”Something wrong Mao-san?” his nose twitches as he looks up at the older lady.
”If you want to look at that ring I found you can if you’re bored or something?” his big green blinked up at her.
He heard Rasidar allow the others to start storming about in the corridor. “Just keep those weirdoes out of my way.’ he frown a bit as he thought of all those foreigners. “They all have big feet and I need room to work.”

Rasidar
You can learn the spell.
Leim
The chest contains:
A small sack which clinks when moved Three glass bottles. One is empty, two contain some kind of liquid. A leather scroll case with a bone stopper A bag of sticky sweets, all stuck together Three odd and not very clean socks A silk shirt, very rumpled.
