April 13th, the next day, more mysteries? leads to follow?

[Adminenkainen]

Since we have that information, we time it so we enter right after the police next go past, giving us three hours to explore.

We start at the back door. If I can't pick the lock with a skill check, we can break a window to get in.

Arrowhead and The web move to the rear of the house using shadows and stealth. Both of them hop the fence and make it to the backdoor of the house without anyone seeing them do this task. Though dark, the web pulls out his picks and tries the lock. Even with the lack of light ( added a penalty since there is no lights other then the moon), the lock is easily picked. As the door opens it leads into a kitchen. There is are two doors in the kitchen. One looks to be a basement door and the other is a door to the dining room. Other then the moonlight is there any light being used as the windows have curtains blocking the moonlight?

[Adminenkainen]

"I think we would draw less attention to our presence by opening curtains than we would shining my light all over the house," The Web said to Arrowhead. "But we can definitely use it in the basement, and I'd like to search that first..."

[archersix]

"Yeah, but let's make sure there are no basement windows, or at least we'll cover them with something before we turn on any lights." Arrowhead said, walking through the kitchen.

"There might be someone in here too. Can't be too careful"

[Adminenkainen]

"Excellent points," The Web conceded. They would do a quick room-by-room search from top to bottom without lights, and then more thoroughly from bottom to top, covering all windows in the room before turning on The Web's flashlight to aid searching.

[dspurrier]

entering the house you walk through the kitchen, dining room, the living room and the bathroom and don't see anyone. The heroes creep upstairs to the 2nd floor. On the 2nd floor there is the master bathroom, a linen closet, a spare bedroom and the master bedroom. Again there is no one here. You proceed back down and head back to the kitchen where the 2nd door to the kitchen is a basement. The heroes do not find an attic entrance. As you open the door you see a car come down the street and it passes and parks in the house next door. You wait a minute and a man and woman enter the neighbors house and then shuts the door.

Both of you head downstairs to the basement and the curtains are shut. You turn on the flashlight and the basement has a bar, a pool table, several boxes, and a Nazi flag displayed at the back of the wall.

"You know, it would be just like the movies if there was something hidden behind this flag..." Arrowhead said as he pulled it to one side.

[Adminenkainen]

The Web opened the boxes and went through them.

[dspurrier]

opening the boxes the Web finds extra glasses, some old clothing and a photo book. Looking at the black and white photos show Bruno as a child. Some family portraits show him, his mother, a sister and his father. His father is wearing an World War 1 German flight uniform. The last photo shows Bruno receiving an award and Bruno is dressed in a WW2 black Nazi Uniform. His father is in the picture next to the man giving the award who is also dressed in a Nazi black uniform. The date on the photo is June 1942.

Looking behind the Nazi flag, is indeed a smaller room. The room contains a table and a chair. On the table is a radio broadcast signal device. Besides the radio broadcast device there is a strange device on the table as well. ( rolling a save vs science for Arrowhead), Arrowhead recognizes the strange device as a Nazi Enigma machine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_machine). These were supposed to be decommissioned back in WW1 but there is full functioning device here? On the side of the table is a small cabinet.

[Adminenkainen]

((By black Nazi uniforms, you mean SS uniforms?))

"It seems Bruno wasn't recruited just for this mission...he's always been a Nazi," The Web shared.

"This could be perfect..." The Web said. "If we use the radio, pretend one of us is Bruno, say he escaped and wants a safe rendezvous point with the rest of the spy ring...do you think they'd fall for it?"

[archersix]

"Good idea. If they were using just the radio it might work," Arrowhead walked closer and inspected the radio equipment. "This, however is an Enigma machine. It's a type of coded typewriter." He pointed at the contraption. "I'm not sure how to work the thing. Maybe there's a code book around here?"

[Adminenkainen]

"A good call. Even if Bruno didn't know the current code, he would still try to use an old one. We need to see if he's written it down anywhere.

"In fact...I think I should slip outside and get Echo in here. We might be reading every slip of paper in this house all night, but three sets of eyes would make it go faster."

[dspurrier]

Searching the basement you do not find a code book or playbook. Both the radio and the enigma device seem to be functioning normally. The web goes out the kitchen door and retrieves Agent echo with no issues and then both heroes sneak back in rejoin arrowhead in the kitchen. All three heroes search the kitchen and other then foodstuffs that is starting to get warm and spoil, nothing else of interest

[Adminenkainen]

"Oops! I forgot to go out and get Echo until after we were done searching for the code. Don't know how that happened!

"It seems we have a half-useful lead here. We can take the radio equipment and code machine with us, keep it at one of our homes, and listen for chatter, but we won't know what it all means. At the very least, we might get a clue as to how active they are, based on how often we hear messages.

"Arrowhead, can we transport all this back to your place? I mean, when we're done here. We still have two floors of the house to go over..."

[archersix]

"Yeah. Unless we find a Kraut tank or something."
