[Alaric nods at that and moves to take the lead. The paths through the mountains aren't as well-worn or safe as the ones through the woods, but they aren't terribly difficult to traverse either, and by the time night has properly fallen, they're in position to move. From here, it's just a simple climb down to land on the wall, and once they're on there, they should be able to make it down and over toward the main building easily enough.]

If we're quick and quiet enough, we should be able to get in there without any problems. Like you said, the mage probably won't be as much of a threat if we can get close to her. They're going to be on edge waiting for us, but I doubt they'll expect us to try to slip in like this.

[It's still not a perfect plan, and there are so many ways it could go wrong. Still...]

You ready?
