"Yessir, coming..." Poison said into the command, grabbing his stuff and arriving at the gate...

-
"Nah." Marker said, chuckling lightly as he shook his head
-
"Well, RIP that..." Poison said, "I might have to find a more secret way through the courtyard, I'll see about it when I get there..."
-
Marker sat on the grass, looking up at Poison expectantly "Take your time."

Edited by medic: 7/4/2017 5:47:12 PMPoison nodded his head at Marker, and started walking to the castle, crouching within the grass...
-
"Oh. Real great stealth you got there." Marker chuckled, falling onto his back as he looked up at the sky
-
"What else am I supposed to do? I ain't equipped with cloaking..." Poison said, also chuckling... Poison continued on his way, and then ran the rest of the distance, jumping across the moat and slamming into the wall. "OoOFff!!" Poison grunted, grabbing ahold of the stones and climbing the rest of the way, sliding through the window and immediately hiding behind an outer closet/wardrobe, peeking at his surroundings...
-
Considering it was the outer wall, there were limited hiding places. So he ended up underneath a desk, that has some sort of pen and writing on top of it. A IMC grunt entered the room, sitting on the chair in front of Poison and writing something down
-
Poison waited, he knew he could easily take this grunt down, even without a gun, but he didn't want to risk unnecessary noise...
-
The grunt didn't seem to move, and made it clear he wouldn't be moving for a few minutes
-
Poison decided to wait and see what he wrote, maybe it could be valuable... After all, Marker said to take his time...
-
After a few minutes, the Rifleman got up and left the room, giving Poison time to move
-
Poison immediately peeked out, and seeing that the coast was clear, got up, grabbed the paper, and hid underneath the desk again... He then looked down at the paper to see what was written on it...
-
It was a letter. Or rather a sort of report. It detailed the recent sitings near the castle, one of which had the name [i]Cylus[/i]
-
Poison, noticing the name Cylus, took a picture of the note and set it on the desk, so as to not raise suspicions if the grunt came back... He then, after making sure the hallway was empty, crept along it.. He came to an open window looking at the castle, it had a door, but there was too much empty land near it, and then a door off to the side which had about 5 yards or so to go from the outer wall... He made his way to that area of the wall, and peeked down a staircase, trying to see if there was anybody there that would see him...
-
There was. There were two Rifleman guarding the door, with another six patrolling the courtyard itself Four more stood at the main gates of the castle, while eight or so patrolled the outer wall, looking in Needless to the say, the courtyard and side entrance were covered from all angles
-
"Fridge" Poison cursed under his breath, he would have to find another way... he moved to another window... He looked at the castle for any windows that he might be able to climb up towards...
-
There were several, though in four of the seven Poison noticed that there were men posted in the windows, looking out over the courtyard. He might be able to, if he timed everything correctly
-
Poison thought about this, but then realized that he could put up a diversion to draw away the troops on the ground below.... He looked around, trying to see if there was anything he could blow up, or make a noise...
-
There were a small stack of crates in the very middle of the courtyard. One of them was bound to have some sort of explosive in them. But there were too many to make any guesses
-
Poison shook his head, disbanding the idea... He started to observe the soldiers patterns, trying to gauge whether there was at one point a free moment to jump and climb... He also calculated the distance of jumping and climbing to an empty window, it would take about 20 seconds in total...
-
Poison ended up waiting around for nearly an hour before being able to piece together what the patrol was. At nearly every 19 minutes, the wall patrol was facing the outside of the castle walls, and the courtyard patrol was near the front gates, giving him a precious 18 seconds of free time before the one of the soldiers of the courtyard patrol looked over at the windows.
-
Poison knew it would be close. His calculations could have been wrong but that could go either way, it could take longer or shorter... He decided he had to take the chance, he had no alternative... He waited until it was the right time, and then, running to gain momentum, made the jump. He hit the wall with a grunt and without waiting, climbed the wall and hurled himself into the window.. He looked around but the area he was in was empty, he waited a second to see if he had been spotted...
-
Silence. He got away with it. The room he feel in was bare, mostly empty save for a wardrobe against one of the walls
-
Poison crept towards the wardrobe, inspecting it, but not opening it, for fear of making noise. He peeked out the window to gauge what floor he was on...
-
He was a single floor above the ground, so it must have been the second floor. Where the servants lived
