*Hikari ends up blocking the door entrance somewhat. But seeing as this was more of a gate than a door, the reliability was questionable*

*Ashnard would travel up left to where the would be another gate. However the gate that continued though the right seemed to be locked.*
Frances
*Oh no. My greatest enemy. Locked gates.* Ashnard scoffed and rolled his eyes before procuring an elaborate lockpick from his belt. Might as well stop wasting time, the guards won't be distracted forever.*
Lawrence
*Ashnard successfully picks the lock and continues on.*
Frances
*Right. The distraction.* Ashnard recalled and took a moment to focus on his illusion again. The sound of some broken ceramics, the sound of a shadowed figure climbing a rooftop right before it vanishes from view and a final young girl's scream for good measure. All he had left was hope the guards were either stupid or bold enough to give pursuit on the rooftops. Ashnard's limited magic reserves and range wouldn't afford him to keep the trickery up much longer. 
*And just in case they return from a different entrance...* 
He procured a trio of enchanted daggers hidden between the crevices of his armour and plunged them to either side of the gate threshold he'd just unlocked before moving forward. For a smart and perceptive guard, those would serve as a warning. For a fool, death.

Hikari slowly walks away from the gate: If he's wedged it right, it should stop any visitors. He heads down the corridor towards where Ashnard went, following him through the door and watching the odd dagger-stabbing behaviour. Maybe it's a beastman thing; and he thinks not much else of it.

He crosses his arms quietly, speaking in a hushed whisper and communicating properly since they entered. "Well? Where now?"
Lawrence
*There seemed to be a ladder leading up and another gate leading way right*
Frances
Ashnard quickly scans the room for clues and hints that may lead him to his target, taking note of the ladder and gate as potential paths. After a brief consideration, he speaks up. 
"Bar the gate, then follow me up the ladder. Shouldn't be too far now."
His command to Hitoshi was flat and stern, waiting for no response before he'd begin to ascend the ladder himself.
