===Malkin the Finder===

'''Aspects:''' I Owe You One

First Adventure: By candlelight, he poured over the mansion maps. There was something odd about these maps (maps that Rok would kill him for if he saw him with them). Something about the structure of the place didn't make sense. But the "treasure" that they were after was in an easy enough place to get to.

"You might like to use that shoot poker," The Rat said, "But if you don't have us covered like a true throatcutter then I'll make sure the boss has your head."

They were moving through the second floor of the mansion, easily bypassing the owner's personal guards on the first floor and the single guard snoozing (more soundly with the sleep toxin) on the second.

The Rat tilted the painting in the reading room and an audible click! was heard. The wall panel slid easily aside now that it was unlocked and inside...
"Nothing!" the Rat hissed. Whisper who hardly ever talked also sighed in disappointment.

Malkin, remembering his study of the map looked around the small room which had a table with a single book on it. The book's writing was shadowy in the gas lamp light of the room. The book was an old tale of wizards and other magical folk. Malkin passed the book to Whisper, knowing that the Rat couldn't read and would only hit him for suggesting he does.
"Read the first word. Loudly." Malkin did.

"Fire," Whisper said at a normal tone which was loud for her.

The fire reached out from the lamps and burned a perfectly round hole in the back of the small alcove. Behind it, the corridors that were hidden in the mansion's walls...which would lead them to the true treasure room.

The Rat suddenly grabbed Malkin by the hair on the top of his head, erasing the smile he had at his discovery.

"I found this," the Rat growled, pushing Malkin's head hard against the wall.

"Of course you did," Malkin groaned through the pain. He didn't care who took credit, he was happy to have discovered a penchant for finding his way to things...hidden things...
