*Arthur arrives at the trail leading to Salvainia city, trailing Hu Lang (thats the character, right?) and the masked figure. He attempted to look as inconspicuous as possible, so he wore his cloak around his head and his armor. Judging by the suns position, Arthur guessed that it was late afternoon. He checked the timepiece his dad left him, and it showed that it was currently around 7:41. Arthur sighed a deep sigh, preparing himself mentally for the job he was about to do. He had been on this trail before for when he took the job that required him to kill the cultists of Aventurr, so he knew it would take around 20 minutes to arrive at Salvainia city.*

*Hu Lang arrives at the gate with the masked figure. Seeing as it is not night, he motions for Arthur to scout the area as a fox until it gets darker*
Andrew
*Arthur turns to the hooded figure.*
"It's not yet night time, so what should we do until then?"
Gina
The robed figure shrugs "I'm merely an observer to ensure the job is completed, to deliver your pay, and to clean up the mess left behind. I would not dare interfere with the work of those more skilled in the field. Do what you believe must be done. I will watch over the two of you from afar." And you see the man transform into a squirrel and quickly dashes into a nearby bush
Pauline
*Hu Lang whispers* "Scout the area as a fox. Let's wait until night, then they'll all be more tired"
Andrew
*Arthur nods towards Hu Lang's direction. He agreed to scout the grounds, but there was one tiny issue that remained bothering him.* 
"We need to find a rendezvous point so I can tell you what I find. We'll determine it once we get there. Is that good for you?"
Pauline
*Hu Lang nods* "Seems good."
Andrew
*Arthur nods his head again, and continues to walk down the trail eventually leading to New Salvainia. It had been a good while since he last came, and recalled the time here he spent with Hitoshi. He looked to his left; he saw the clearing where the two had fought just days earlier, and wondered how he was doing now. He was probably at the New Sunlight guild HQ, looking for some quests or training his Naginata skills. Arthur turned towards Hu. He wondered what the man did for a living. Arthur noticed that Hu was a kitsune like him, and remembered an important detail about the mission.*

"Hu, we should conceal our ears and tail for this mission. It'd be troublesome if the headmaster, or any others on the grounds, were to discover our true nature."
Pauline
*Hu shakes his head* "I don't have the concealment spell. I'll wear a hood to cover my ears. I don't have a tail."
Andrew
"Oh, you're a half breed? That's cool, I never met one of your kind before." Arthur said.
*Turning to the hooded figure ahead of them, Arthur began to ask a question.*
"So, where exactly is the mansion located? Is it on the outskirts of the city?"
Gina
The man is nowhere to be seen, but being intelligent Arthur remembers he has a map. Looking at it, it would appear that the mansion is on the outskirts of the city as it took up a large amount of space.
Andrew
*Arthur and Hu walk towards the outskirts of the city, following a road leading from the center out. As he walked on, Arthur noticed an exponential increase of buildings and roads until only one had remained. Up ahead, about 500 feet away, was the mansion in question. Arthur, being able to see in the dark fairly well thanks to his amulet, noticed a few things at first. There was a 5 foot tall brick wall surrounding the mansion with large iron gates leading to where the road ended. He could very well jump over the walls, but first he needed to get closer to the building to make sure there weren't any guards surrounding the area's perimeter.*

*Arthur then spotted an abnormally large oak tree near the outer walls. He turned towards Hu, pointing towards that tree. By this time, it was already night, so they could probably sneak up to the tree relatively easily.*

"See that tree?" Arthur began. "That's probably going to be the best spot to rendezvous at. Ill go scout the insides of the building, then ill tell you what I find. Is that good?"
Pauline
*Hu nods* "It also makes a good hiding spot. There are also several ways in, so this is good" 
*Hu was thinking of different ways. They could easily jump over the wall, and he could cut through the iron gate using his swords*
Gina
As you scout the area Arthur you see there are infact 2 guards patrolling the perimeter of the mansion as well as 2 guards that seem to stand constant guard of the heavy oak doors leading to the inside of the castle. You also notice that none of the guards have torches. The mansion appears to be have 3 floors given the positioning of the tainted glass windows. Sadly none of the windows seem to be open and as they are tinted you can't get a clear view inside. However you notice some light in the upper floors as well as humanoid shadows. It would be safe to assume that there are some people up there. 

Going around you see an impressive rose garden in the back as well as another entrance of thick oak doors. There is also a trapdoor to a cellar but it isn't connect to the mansion. There doesn't appear to be any guards, however you notice a pair of blood hounds chained up nearby keeping watch. That is what you are able to gather from your scouting.
