[QUOTE="jefgorbach, post: 5453309, member: 28278"] You say the BBEG is a local mayor ... so unless there's a timing factor, the group would likely await the next available community meeting to ensure he (and obviously bodyguards) would be away from the manor. Such meetings can drag on for several hours, esp if they have hirlings ensure lengthly debate on an item or three. Getting into the house itself remains an issue, since the mayor is unlikely to leave his home completely unguarded, but perchance a hired street urchin can gain access via errand to retrieve a forgotten document the major needs for the ongoing meeting ... distracting the onsite guard(s) long enough for someone to slip inside and subsequently find safe entrance for the balance of the party. OTOH whats the community's crime rate? Security is only a concern for those who dont feel their community is safe so he might only have his personal bodyguard(s) ... whose role is primary "companionship/dirty deeds" moreso than actual protection.
