He was a single floor above the ground, so it must have been the second floor. Where the servants lived
English
-
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...
-
The operative attempted to elbow Poison in the side, followed by a backwards kick to Poison's leg
-
Poison took the hits with a grunt but enclosed his hand over the Operatives neck, squeezing it really tight...
-
After a few minutes, the operative stopped moving completely.
-
Poison checked his pulse, and finding none, let go of the Operative... He then moved back to the door to see if the stair case was clear...

Edited by Royal Blade: 7/5/2017 11:38:33 AM[spoiler]Fun fact! A human being can go unconscious during strangulation anywhere between 10 and 60 seconds after getting caught around the tech But it could take up to 3 minutes for them to fully die! [/spoiler] The body thudded to the ground, leaving Poison alone in the room The hallway was indeed clear, allowing him to move
-
[spoiler]Nice! But I don't think that would be considered [i]fun[/i]lol[/spoiler] Poison ran to the staircase, taking slow steps up each step, making sure to make no noise... He then peeked over the floor to look at his surroundings...
-
Unlike the smaller hallways of the second floor, the hallways on the third floor were twice as wide. A patrol of four passed by Poison, and turned the corner going back around. Another patrol of four past by soon afterwards, also turning the corner The hallway went to the right and left, with a wall directly in front of him. Most likely were the throne room was.
-
He decided to wait and see how much time he had between patrols to get around the right corner...
-
He had approximately 1 minute and thirty seconds in between the two patrols More than enough time to follow after one of the groups and stick to the shadows But the question became, where was the entrance to the throne room?
-
Poison wondered this, and came to the conclusion that there must be side rooms that then link together and lead to the throne room... As soon as the patrol went by him, he got out, and followed behind them, hiding in the shadows upon turning the corner and surveying the area he was in...
-
The hallway continued forward, with various doorways most likely being the home of the Royal quarters. It turned another corner to the left
-
Poison kept to the shadows, almost invisible, and turned the left corner, again, seeing what was in the hallway as the patrol in front of him continued forward...
-
Two guards were posted at a double doorway, the patrol passing by them. The double doorway must have been the entrance to the throne room....
-
Poison looked around, but knew that this was the only entrance... He waited in the dark to see the gaurds behaviors, anything that might help him get past them easier...
