“Nimble, we’ve torn the building apart. It’s not in the attic, it’s not in the basement. We’ve checked the floorboards, the baseboards, the window frames, the door frames… unless you think we need to rip the place down to the studs, it’s not here.” Rathgar grumbled.
“The tiles say it’s here.” Feris sighed. “Somewhere.”
“Here, in this house?”
“Yes.”
“What did the tiles say, exactly?”
“That the scroll will be found at his home.”
“Well, we’ve searched in his home!” Rathgar yelled.
Nimble lept to his feet. “Yes…. we’ve search in his home... “ Nimble walked to the back door, and looked out at the stone path running to the ransacked shed.
“We checked the shed first” Rathgar reminded him.
“Sure, but we didn’t pry up the flagstones”
