Cheese is very sure he hasn't been here since the fire; no smell of smoke, nothing out of place, nothing missing. That said, he does notice a strand of black pony hair nearby Dextor's luggage.

Cheese heads back to his room and returns with a plastic bag and tweezers. He carefully tweezes the hair into a plastic bag. "It could be important."

OOC:Does Barabus have any place he send this for IDing. Either via that scroll from the beginning, or via the messenger downstairs?

[Barabus would know where to send it, yes.]

Ooc: On the other hand, it would likely take so long to id we'd have found him anyway. Darn post service.

"Well, why didn't you say so? Lead the way."

The cockroach flitters into the hallway, muttering as clearly as he can while still technically muttering, "I would have told you if you had slowed down a tad."

Zebulon follows the cockroach, motioning for the others to follow.

Cheese puts the plastic bag and tweezers into his saddle bag and follows along.

"Well, if you guys want to do things the easy way."

Assuming no incidents along the way, the cockroach leads them to a nearby room with a "Do Not Disturb" sign on it. Somepony else has written underneath the words on the sign: "On Penalty of a Painful Death".

...a loud crashing noise startled the luckless Blackhawk, giving him a nice shot of adrenaline to wake himself up a little. "What they hay..." Blackhawk began to murmur as he opened the door, peering outside and at his friends, who all seemed to be gathering in front of a certain door. "Welp," was the non-murmured response to this. Blackhawk then walked over, fast-paced as though to make up for lost time, to join the group.

With a smile, of course.

He hears a deep and menacing voice. "You are sure he is hiding nothing further?"

"I am positive, Milord," says a very familiar voice that the party had previously heard from a couple of mechanical felines. "He is... enamored of me. It was easy to trick him into thinking that I was a fellow agent. He told me all."

"You have done well, lackey. This may well lighten the burden of your previous failures."

"Thank you, Milord."

Cheese puts his hoof up to his mouth in a be quiet gesture.

IC: Cheese waves everyone to go back to Dextor's room. After which Cheese follows them back into that room.

[On whose door? Doom's or Dextor's? If Dextor's, wouldn't you have triggered any traps when you were in there before?]

OOC:Doom's. Sorry.

Zebulon quietly heads back to Dextor's room.

Kal shrugs and follows the zebra.
I'm not in a particular mood to deal with "Penalty of Death." I'm sure Cheese has a plan that's more complex than just knocking on the door. although...no, I'm sure he's got something.

When he reached Dextors room, Barabus quickly changed into his Agent uniform and put his jacket over the top, hiding the insignia.

The door appears normal at first glance, although it is certainly locked. However, upon further inspection, Cheese notices a silent alarm spell meant to trigger if somepony unlocks the door from the outside, as well as some other spell that he can't quite identify.

Blackhawk waited only an instant in order to vaguely wonder what he was getting himself into before walking with the rest of his posse.

Cheese closed the door once everyone was inside.

"If Dextor's inside there, he might be compromised. I heard the lady from robot cats say to someone else that she had convinced someone that she's a fellow agent, and that she had convinced him to tell her everything."

"Additionally, the door has a silent arm on it in case anyone tries to pick the lock on it, plus one other spell which I can't identifiy."

"Zeb, you've been unusually informative in the past 10 minutes. Could you ask your sources to get some better intel on whats going on inside?"

"That may need some more food, but I will check."

Assuming Scarfroach is still with Zeb...

"Can you tell us of what is in the room?"

"Yeah," Scarfroach replies. "There were a bunch of ponies in there a while ago, plus the lizard thing. Most of them left a while ago, but there's a unicorn and an earth pony in there, plus the vigilante. I don't think they know the guy's in there."

"My thanks, good sir, for all of your service," said Zeb to Scarfroach.

"We have two ponies and the vig'lante." said Zebulon, relating the story for those who don't speak roach. "As far as we know, the vig' is hidden."

"Yeah," Scarfroach replies. "There were a bunch of ponies in there a while ago, plus the lizard thing. Most of them left a while ago, but there's a unicorn and an earth pony in there, plus the vigilante. I don't think they know the guy's in there."

OOC: Wait. This sounds like Dextor is no longer here. Am I reading this correctly? It sounds like only the vigilante, the earth pony and the unicorn are there.

[This is the case. Also, to preempt you, yes, there is an inconsistency in the cockroach's story. I'm aware of it.]
