We last left two our thieving crew descending from the second floor of the Helker house and third distracting the dinner guest within the dining room. Prior this, the crew made their approach to the house, with Marv thinking that he would only having to woo Volette. Little did he know that there are often complications with any job; even with the best of plans.
With Marv attending dinner - and perhaps an after dinner delight - however, Marv upon knocking on the door and being greeted by Volette, quickly found out that she forgot to mention that her parents were attending the dinner as well. To complicate the situation even more, the McCalisters were in attendance. Luckily, Marv bribed a butler that was serving dinner, just for situations, like the one he presently was in. Meanwhile, Cleras and Reginald, skulked to side of the house, waiting for the second floor window to be opened for the two to grapple up and in.
After a bit of time, and a bit of worry, the butler Marv bribed called to the two and helped secure the grapple and rope, whilst they ascended to the study window. Once in, the butler left to let Marv know that all was going as planed, along with taking the bandolier of potions from Reginald. Clears and Reginald quickly went to work on the safe. After Reginald concluded that, mechanically, the safe was not a trap and Sensing that something may not be right, Cleras dawned on his spirit mask and saw that the safe also contained another passenger.
Reginald deciding to take some loot on the side, and snatched up some stocks that belonged to Arden Industries; as it might have some use later on.
Once the safe was open, the two saw their prize, the book that they went to all this trouble for. However, Reginald, deciding to take some loot on the side, and snatched up some stocks that belonged to Arden Industries; as it might have some use later on. Throwing caution to the wind, Cleras went for the book, though he quickly found out the other passenger was in fact guarding the book. The ghost began to wailing, signaling to the Helkers that the book was being taken. Reginald, acting quickly, threw down a potion that created a sound proof bubble. Marv, with his mesmerizing swagger, convinced Fran Helker that he heard a cat in heat. Finally, Cleras, being clever, utilized a spirit vial to contain the ghost. With a devils bargin with a voodon sprit, Cleras was able to seal the banshee spirit within the vial. With no other complications, and with the prize in hand, Reginal and Cleras made their way to escape the Helker.
