[QUOTE="Scotley, post: 6860060, member: 11520"] Kyria manages to approach to a sheltered hillside some 100 yards or so from the fort where she can observe from relative concealment. A narrow path of hard-packed earth winds up the hillside approaching the Stag Lord’s fort—this path is 30 feet wide, 300 feet long, and provides no cover. The remaining hillside surrounding the fort is a swath of hill devoid of shrubbery save for isolated thorny vines, but periodic large boulders provide better cover for a stealthy approach. The fort is on the shores of lake Tuskwater. The lakeside approach is hard to see from here, but seems to be a boggy bare region devoid of cover and perhaps hard to cross. As she watches Kyria notes that the guards move about the walls in no particular pattern and seemingly watching different areas at whim. They are vigilant and at any given time there are at least two watchers. They seem to focus on the cleared approach. They seem to show little interest in watching the bolder-strewn hillside.
