Valetni was doomed. He stood, staring at the little monkey on his bed side table, damning proof of his guilt in last night's mischief. "To the Cleverest" read the words on the base, in a neat, elegant script. Right now Valetni wasn't feeling so clever, the consequences of his actions would fast be approaching, once the affect of the powdered rat poison became apparent.<br/><br/>Right now, in his mind, he had two choices as he sat facing the monkey.<br/><br/>He could let Varnasus, that unimaginative oaf who was no doubt planning his revenge at the moment, get his licks in, surrender as it were, to the inevitable.<br/><br/>Or he could attempt to hide, to evade the bee obsessed fool until he had either calmed down or one of the other monks intervened on his behalf, it was his best chance to make it out unscathed, but Varnasus' wrath would be ever greater should Valelni be found after having had eluded him for so long. Neither option was very appealing to the head of custodial staff.<br/><br/>The monkey statue stared back, and a thought began to slowly form in his mind. Was he not Valetni? The cleverest of them all? He paused to check to make that yes, he was indeed Valetni. And with this affirmation, he began to plot.<br/><br/>Moving to the window, he threw it open, judging the distance to the ground, too far to jump and hope to survive without injury. Moving quickly to his closet, he brought out four items.<br/><br/>The first, a very wide wire brush, which he placed directly in the path of any who would enter his room, and covered it with a cloth. The next item was a bucket, which he then proceeded to fill with bleach. Opening his door just a crack he placed the bucket above the door, using the doorstop to loosely secure the door so that it would not be opened by a stray gust of wind, or anything short of someone opening the door. The final item was the length of rope and bar hook that he used to clean the monastery windows from outside, now they would facilitate his escape. Looking around to make sure everything was in order, he quickly tied off the rope to his under habit harness, locked the restraints in place on the window sill, then carefully back out and began his descent. Anyone on the greens below would have been greatly alarmed, or perhaps amused to see a figure slowly descending the outside wall.
