Under strange stars

Here´s the promised "map". Is not very much, but Razeem isn´t very precise.

Menghil looks over the scrawled sketch that had been produced from Razeem's description. He scratches at his beard thoughtfully and points a thick finger at the cells.

"If they're that close to that wall there, then we're probably best going under, over or through the wall rather than trying to get inside in a more legitimate fashion. We should go take a look at the wall itself."

He pauses.

"Scratch that, you're all wanted criminals. I'm the law abiding citizen here, for once. . . I'll go take a look at it."

[ooc - unless anyone raises any immediate concerns, Menghil will take a casual stroll out into the city, stopping for a rest up against the section of the citadel wall that is closest to the cells. He'll check for height, scalability, convenient grates or weak spots, etc.]

(OOC: What are the rest of you going to do meanwhile? Also, Asy´s away for a few days, and Rayex has internet problems, so you can make make suggestions as what could they do.)

[ooc - Jagra could come with Meghil in his halfing disguise]

"Just goes to show that you know less than you think, scallaywag. I'll be going with ya...", Jagra says flatly, falling in behind the wild-looking dwarf.

OOC: Jagra will be checking out troop movements, timing, general size and strength of the forces that can be seen along top the walls, etc. Also, any sort of ranged weapon will rank high on his "to take note of" list.

Jagra hopes to see some sort of pattern emerge from the guards (marching the wall at certain number of interverals, etc....)

The Captain looks to his crew as he says "Well do you know how we can constructively spend our time, untill the scouts return?"

The short people go to explore. Tangrabah still languishes under the sun when you arrive at the citadel´s surrounding streets, where you can have a good view of the wall. The nearest houses are about 35-40 feet from it; the wall itself is around 30 feet high, not counting the "hill" itself, 15 feet. Climbing it without help should prove difficult, since is rather smooth (OOC: DC 25). Right now, you can´t see guards on it, but there are sentinels on the towers, and at night you remember having seen at least one guard in each wall.

"I don't know, what I could do to help before they come back. I just hope we can get some rest so I can have all my spells back, when it is time to go. This sneaky approach just isn't what I'm accustomed to," the princess sighs.

Jagra turns to the dwarf, "So, what now?"

hafrogman · Sep 16, 2004

Menghil scratches his beard thoughtfully and looks down at the halfling.

"I don't know. I could probably make it up this wall with a little bit of time, but not with the guards watching me. If there were a diversion I could get up and drop a rope down for others, but then we'd have to be very quiet and quick, and whoever made the distraction wouldn't be with us. I suggest we return to the others and tell them what we've found before we make any plans though. C'mon short stuff."

Menghil heads off back to Zosimo's, his bare feet slapping on the road.
