After a few minutes, the Rifleman got up and left the room, giving Poison time to move
English
-
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
-
Poison nodded, he was one floor away from his objective... he walked to the only door in the room, opening it carefully to not make any squeaks, and peeked outside to gather his surroundings...
-
The doorway opened into a hallway that went to the right and left, however a railing saw several feet in front of him. On thw other side of the railing, Poison could look down into the main ballroom area
-
Poison crept along the hallway, peeking quickly at the ballroom...
-
[spoiler]You're up early.... [/spoiler] The ballroom had half a dozen men sitting at a large table, overlooking a map of the castle with weapons and explosives scattered about on it He saw two men at each of the three entrances, making the total number of a men a dozen Then, he spotted a patrol of two men across the ballroom, on the other side of the room where two men overlooking the ballroom as well
-
[spoiler]jet lag, I was up since 2:30 last night...[/spoiler] Poison looked down the hallways to see if there were stairs leading to the third floor, that was where he needed to go...
-
There were none that he could see, but it might be worth investigating further.
-
Poison continued crouch-walking down the hallway, making sure no one else was there, it would be fatal if there was a noise of a struggle with all those soldiers down in the ballroom...
-
The hallway was mostly clear, and as he neared the corner he saw a doorway with as spiral staircase going upwards and downwards However, he heard voices coming from the staircase and he had limited time to hide [spoiler]-Go upstairs -Go downstairs -Run into a room [/spoiler]
-
Poison knew going on the staircase would be a death trap, as there were obviously people there, so he quickly found an empty room and flung himself into it...
-
The room he ducked into had a IMC operative facing out the window of the room. The operative was focused on the courtyard, and hadn't realized the Poison had gotten into the room
-
Poison knew he had to act fast, he crept up behind the IMC Operative, quickly placed his hand over his mouth to avoid any noise and drew him back into the room, choking him with Poisons other arm...
