"Of course, you will find no fault in the discretion of House Arkona!" The man declares, giving a deep bow as he leaves.

A couple of his bodyguards peel out from the shadows to escort him back to Old Korvosa, lacking the same presence to her sense.

Time to tail the girl, since the guy (possibly lying??) gave away his affiliation.

Invisible again, even though the magic costs add up fast to keep it up for long and she's already spent a few big chunks.

The girl waits for the man to leave. Once confident he has departed, she unlocks the warehouse with the key she has received, then steps aside from the door. Out from under her cloak she draws a pair of serrated single-edged magic swords, wielded with reverse grips, then slips inside the warehouse silently. 

Once inside, she moves her swords in hypnotic motions, and three blood-red horse-sized giant praying mantises step out from thin air next to her. At her direction they split up to explore the building, stalking through it in search of any ambushes or traps left behind by the previous owner.

Turning invisible does not stop Weiss' rat stalker from following her.

Fuck. Yeah she's pretty sure it's an imp. She read up on them a bit after the magic shop, and believes the 'summoned' line.

Okay, several things are going on here.

Decisive action!!!

She turns and lunges suddenly for the rat.

The rat is caught in her claws, and proves far more durable than a rat should be! 

It immediately shifts back into the form of an imp, confirming her suspicions, and then transforms into a giant boar to try and burst out of her grip. Its wounds are already healing.

She's not really worried. A straight brawl is fine. Just hit and be hit. Anger and blood rush. Tooth and claw! Simple as.

Claw strike. Bite attack. Blindness sphere.

Even in boar form, this isn't a fight the imp can win. Soon she has it knocked out, at which point it reverts back to imp form.

Coup de grace.

Her heart is pounding, her head feels dull and empty. There's a thrill in her heart that was absent since the crypt. She's at about half magic.

...Then back to check out the warehouse again.

She's nervous. Summoning weird monsters is a pretty intimidating ability. It feels like Cryptid stuff. But when has being nervous stopped her from doing what none other can? And the goal thus is investigstion.

The near entrance of the warehouse has a single door, leading into a reception room with a long wooden desk and a sign on the wall reading 'Arkona Imports West Dock'. The pink-haired woman and her mantis minions have already passed through the curtain on the far side of the room into the warehouse proper.

Hello invisible Large fox wants to know what's going on in here. Is it murder? She feels like it might be murder. Or maybe burglary.

There is no scent of blood on the air, only spices, exotic wood, and sawdust. 

...Not quite no scent of blood. There is a hint of it, muted and long-dried, off in a crate in one corner.

One of the mantises is roaming the leftover crates of the warehouse at ground level. Another has risen, wings buzzing, to check on the catwalk. 

On the far side of the warehouse is a set of stairs up to the second floor, and a cargo lift in a room lined with wooden lockers. The woman and the third mantis cannot be seen on this floor.
