Breaking and Entering

This is the 6th session of the **Mystery of the Haunted Library** campaign for The Investigation Crew.

Returning from picking up Blake’s package the crew heads to the library to test out Adrian’s new ivory dice. It is 6:30pm when they approach the bookcase where everything began. Adrian rolls his dice and the results are normal no matter how many times he rolls. The gang decides to stay and work on the history paper until 9:30 where they check the dice again. Snake eyes is seen. During this time Jax checks the Rosicrutian book and sees both double six and snake eyes were considered good. Adrian heads to the roof to see the green star which shouldn’t exist. He attempts to take a picture to no avail. Jax uses a blacklight on the book and sees new details. Before they head to bed Jax receives a text from his dad saying a suspicious individual was sighted near the mall. Amanda is notified that the Mall will be closed tomorrow for deep cleaning.

That night only Adrian heads to the spirit library. In the fork in the road he takes the right instead of the left. It leads to an infinite hallway following where he could infinitely travel forward but to get back to his original location, he would need to go back only 15 feet. Adrian picks up a book and it seems 'crumbly'.

Audrey comes back on Sunday morning and everyone heads to breakfast together. Everybody updates Audrey on what transpired since she left. The group heads to the local flower shop to buy some roses to test at the church. After buying the roses they head towards the mall to see if it’s actually being deep cleaned. The front door is locked and it seems it is not being deep cleaned. Audrey and Amanda lead the group towards the back employee entrance. When the group arrives there the door is not locked and they enter. They go towards hot topic so that it seems to the cameras that they are just teenagers going to pick something up their friend forgot at work. They enter the mall into the food court where they see a body outline in tape on the floor. Adrian immediately rolls the dice near it and they go snake eyes.

The group is divided on whether to stay or go. As they begin to leave Blake says he will stay and investigate where Audrey and Mylo join him. Amanda upon seeing this also joins them. Jax and Adrian keep watch out for anything while the rest go to investigate. Blake notices claw marks like some animal clawed its way through the food court and it went towards where the gang had arrived. Mylo notices the claw marks looks similar to those in the spirit library so they assume this was Jac’s work.

While Jax and Adrian keep lookout the rest of the gang heads towards the security room to see if they can find any footage. The door to the security room is locked and Blake attempts to use his lockpicking kit to open it. The kit breaks but he is able to find a bobby pin and borrows Mylo’s swiss army knife. With these two he unlocks the door into the security room. The group notices the footage is looped as there is no sign of the body outline or their friends in the camera for the food court. They decide they obtained all that they can without overstaying their welcome. On the way out Blake closes and relocks the door.

The group reunites with Jax and Adrien. Jax hears a car outside and everybody scrambles to hide in the Pretzel Barn kiosk. Half of the crew leaves their body clearly visible as they hide. An individual looking close to FBI enters the building.  Stealth fails horribly as the man tells the group to come out immediately and asks what they are doing here. Audrey masterly bluffs and convinces him that they only came because she needed to pick something up from the kiosk. She provides her pretzel barn ID to him. The group notices the badge the man wears depicts a crying gold silver eye, the same symbol as the Esotaric Eye.  The man walks everyone out and proceeds to close and lock the back employee entrance. The group checks to see if his car is there but it seems he was dropped off. The group now discusses what to do next.
