Clean up Crew: Sniper House

[ReubanBrightwood]

Much as her ally before Skye leaves the seemingly inevitable marks of passage through the overgrown weeds and plants up to the door. Still all it proves is someone was here. Someones, Two distinct someone's if the person who took notice was skilled in tracking. The door itself looks pretty standard a good shoulder barge or two would force it open if it was closed, which it isn't only on the latch given Skye made efforts to return to roughly the same position as it started the night in.

A perception check -3 for darkness, unless she allows the light to spill out to check for barricade-able debris.

Witch having noticed the the detector/camera and unaware of skyes spells does the cooperative thing. Also what is best for secrecy and holds out an arm to stop Skye from triggering the device while drawing the arrows attention to it. That such a device is present of course links it in some small way to the tech filled hunters house across the street, what are the odds that a house that should be empty has such a thing set up and active otherwise?

[Witch]

Skye seemed focused on the door but at least hadn't pushed past to trigger the motion detector. Turning off the nightlight feature of her phone, she tucked it away. Rather than trying to slip past the tech she had an idea just to get it out of the picture.

But she needed to see better first.

Eyeing the detector Witch had been mentioning after having finished investigating the door, and making sure to keep her voice low.
”If it sends live images I can do nothing that wont draw attention, otherwise I can move it, destroy it, or see about cutting its power.” Depending how it was fastened or designed power wise. ”It should not be able to pick up my presence so approaching it should be safe for me but I would need to use a light to look it over properly.”

Witch releases the mana from her pattern to draw down the arcana of forces through the watchtower of the lead coin and in doing so banishes the hold the dark has over her senses allowing clearer and easier perception. She can now see that yes indeed the device is fixed to the wall but no screws or nails can be seen instead it seems to be held on by something on its back face, double sided stick pad maybe? could it be magnetic? Either way ripping from the wall would take effort but is clearly possible, a hint perhaps it was intended to be retrieved.

Skye casts her own awareness around for something to barricade the door, now like most houses iron bars and random pieces of heavy duty wood are not available she does however alight upon upon an old coat stand that if wedged diagonally into the door frame could provide a bit of extra resistance.
