Into the Moral Darkness: IC

[Nonlethal Force]

The stablemaster looks to Venial. "Well, no matter. I'll have the boys prep his normal request just in case. Trouble yourself not over it, boy."

The stables are a typical barn set-up. There are stalls on each side left and right and a large double door on the other end. The door appears to be completely closed, however. That is mst likely the door used when moving more than a single horse in and out of the stables.

Venial will start to head toward the door he just arrived. As he go outside, he will try to avoid being spot by the guard and head toward a shadowy area.

[SBLOCK=OOC]I see I won't have one easy...[/SBLOCK]

 

[Nonlethal Force]

The guard leading into the mayor's mansion has closed the door by this time, so Venial has little difficulty slipping past his notice. The guard seems to have forgotten about Venial already.

The stable has a shadowy stretch to its right, the shadows coming from the roof and stable itself are long across the area. Many of the shadows even reach to the fence, which is at places as close as 15 feet from the edge of the stables. Venial is easily able to slip into the darkness.

Once his eyes adjust, he sees little that can help him. There is a small collection of about three shovels about halfway down the wall. The shovels smell of manure.

Venial look at the stable. I could use a spell of speed to boost me and do a running jump and climb the fence... that might make sounds, would the guard would spot me. He looks in direction of the door and then at the windows of the stable, to make sure no one would spot him while doing that manoever. His look then turns at the door. And if I just slip the main gate? He looks how lighted it is. I could also wait... but as I don't know teh habit of the people around... He scans for a sure hiding place, not simple shadows where a patrol could see him. As he see the shovel, he thinks Or dig a tunnel? He smiles at that last idea, knowing it would be stupid. "If that guard is too botehrsome, I can also put him to sleep." Venial is happy to have studied the magic. Basic spells, but how they can come usefull.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Many questions, but I prefred to ask in IC instead of OOC, but a brief description fo teh court where I am, or maybe even a map if you are willing could help me a bit.[/SBLOCK]

- , | = walls

Using north as the top of the screen, Venial has not yet been north or east of the stables, so that is purely speculation on what Venial can assume the layout looks like. The south of the stables is where Venial is and it is almost entirely in shadows.

The gate to the main city is the double gate in the northmost wall.

That help any?

[SBLOCK=OOC]Pretty clear now.[/SBLOCK]

Venial move along the wall slowly and take a look around the corner, on the eastern side.

[SBLOCK=If the eastern side is clear]Venial closes his eyes a moment, gathering the image of the spell book he had been studying. Another usefull spell he thought. He summon the magic, whisperiong a few words, making some precise movement and he feels the magic running trhough his legs. Now he felt faster. He places himself at twenty feet of the wall and start to run, but trying to do as less noise as possible and jump, ctaching the edge of the fence. He then try to climb up to see what on the other side, before deciding to climb it completly.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Nonlethal Force]

The eastern side does appear to be empty. As Venial looks to the eastern side over the fence it appears to be a small pature leading into either a small ring used for breaking horses and a larger pasture for the horses to graze. The larger pasture appears to have a much simple split rail type fence rather than the solid wood in existance around this stable area.

 

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK=OOC]Oops, my last post seems to have never reach teh server...[/SBLOCK]

The stable and teh darkness would cover me, let's head that, it will be easier. Do not waste time, before that guard wil remember I should have been back.

Venial decide to head toward the pasture. He will try to stay in teh shadow in case someone would be observing teh pasture and then will slip throught the fence to head toward the city.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

With the help of the magical boost, Venial is able to make it off of the mayor's property unnoticed as far as he can tell. Looking at the small town's main street ahead of him it appears that most of the businesses are going to be closing up soon - except the two taverns, of course. They'll likely stay open much of the evening.

There are a few people milling through the street, but few take notice of a messenger boy seeming to appear out of nowhere.

[Sblock=OOC]Anything in particular Venial is looking for?[/Sblock]

 

[Velmont]

The small boy doesn't take much time and finally find an Inn of average quality. Finding an hiding place, Venial use again his magic. Using the same trick he used in front of Eranielle, he takes the appearance of a gnome. He looks like some kind of trader. His clothes are dusty and teh gnome seems tired. He get out of his hiding place, trying to get unotice as much as possible, he just want to blend in the city. He enter the Inn and search for the Innkeeper.

"Good evening. I would like to rent a room for one night, and I would like a hot meal, something small. These iron ration cut all the appetite, but they are so bad in taste that I need something fresh and tasty. Oh, and a small mug of ale and some water."

He find an empty table and sits at the table.
