The guards never see you coming.
No, seriously! They don’t! While they continue their pet debate, you manage to clear the fence surrounding the compound with a little help from your flying friend! There’s a faint tingle of magic as you breach the perimeter, but if it triggers any alarm, you don’t see it!
Rezzie remains silent as the two of you land in a patch of fern-like grass–good thing, too. No sooner do you touch down do you spot a patrol of presumably heavily-armed hoodlums round the bend!
The pair of Maakar leading the walk click menacingly as the two of you shut your eyes, but their handlers continue onwards with grim looks on their stony faces! It’s only after the sound of chains jingling and heavy footfalls fade away that you dare open them again… and when you do, you find yourself alone in blessed silence!
Lingering in the bushes just to be sure, you try to avoid the daggers being stared into your face by your hellish helper as you ponder your next move. The compound’s exterior is quiet, that much is certain, but whether that’s due to the concert happening later this evening or another reason totally escapes you.
… Crud, is this even the right house? You assumed it was based on the guards posted out front, but–
A sharp pain in your shoulder brings you back to the present: the present where you currently have a devil biting your shoulder! Shaking her off with an indignant glare, you mouth the word ‘<span class="mu-i">SOON</span>’ to placate Rezalith, if only for a few more minutes! Cathartic though it’d be to cut a bloody, burning swathe through the Cartel, you wouldn’t mind tracking down TT before the chaos commences!
… And you’re still not 100% sure this is Vhale’s house. It… certainly <span class="mu-i">smells</span> like spice central, but… damn it, why didn’t you bring someone who could <span class="mu-i">read!?</span>
Well for better or worse, you’re <span class="mu-i">here</span>. There’s a few guards idling in the front, but the irregular shadows covering their eyes tells you you might be in some kind of grove or hedge display… water trickles somewhere nearby–no doubt some kind of pond or water feature. Best not trip into <span class="mu-i">that</span>!
The question is, how do you sneak in?
>Try to find a chance by the front door!
>Head around the side of the compound!
>The roof! You might be able to slip in through a balcony or something if you’re careful!
>What if the pond hides a way in?
>Shadow a patrol for a while–see where they go!
>Biisii’s Bag!
>Write-In!
