Nothing about the defenses appears to have changed, so they return to the same spot with the half removed dead vine. This time Sotrea carefully removes the vines, using her knife to silently pry away the debris. When she finishes, she quickly scrambles up the wall using the crevice created by the vine for hand and foot holds. When she reaches the top Sotrea slowly peeks over the stone crenellations, but quickly ducks back down, signaling that there is a guard above her. Not waiting for direction, she shimmies along the wall until she peeks up again, then pulls herself over. She disappears from sight for a tense few moments before reappearing directly above them and letting down a length of rope.
Impa is the first up the rope and when she reaches the top Sotrea whispers to her to remain quiet, pointing to a guard standing only a few feet away. Impa almost chastises Sotrea for her reckless behavior, but a second glance at the guard reveals the truth. Leaning heavily on his spear, the guard draws slow and steady breaths, asleep on watch. The rest of the team soon joins Impa and Sotrea atop the wall and at Sotrea's direction, they all descend into the fort itself through a nearby hatch in the roof.
The interior of the fort is similar to the exterior. Aged stone, dead moss make up the walls and the place has musty smell to it. The layout is dark and cramped, with the Twili only having placed a few luminescent orbs on the wall sconces to provide some pale light. "Femi any idea where our target is?" Impa asks.
Femi shrugs "We're close, that's all I know. If I had to give a direction, maybe down?" He says closing his eyes and concentrating. "Or maybe not down? I don't know there's so much Twilight magic in here it's hard to tell."
"We'll have to do this the old-fashioned way then."
>See if you can "coerce" a guard into giving you some directions.>Split up and search floor by floor, room by room>Something like the teleportation jammer is likely to be heavily protected, so start at the deepest most protected place in the fort.
