Alyssa returns Kaelen's parting comment with a murmur of affirmation, observing with some interest as he swiftly ascends the buildingside. Her eyes manage to follow the serpentine constable as far as the rooftop before the shelter of the eaves masks him from sight. It's clear that this work is familiar to him, though she couldn't begin to imagine how a shopkeeper would learn such things - a question for another time, she supposes. Nodding in approval at his skills, she turns back to her remaining two partners as she draws her cloak tightly around her body. "I should be going as well," she says. "I'll see both of you at our objective - and good luck." After a moment's pause for a response, she turns and follows Kaelen's lead, disappearing into the shadowed mouth of a nearby alleyway.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Perception: 1d20 (16) + 15 = 31<br/>Stealth: 1d20 (11) + 28 = 39</div></div></div><br/>Unhindered by the darkness, Alyssa makes swift progress through the deserted streets, keeping to the narrower side streets where the eaves provide the best cover from above. She alters her route several times in response to sounds of activity on her intended course - more of the local strays, she guesses, although she prefers not to test that assumption. Fortunately, the streets around her objective are quiet as she makes her final approach, slipping into the cover of an empty boat rack less than ten feet from the window. From this distance, she can easily distinguish between the voices within - two female, one male, along with a muffled fourth individual that she can't quite place. She inches her way toward the shutter, searching for an angle that will let her peer through without giving away her position...<br/><br/>The faint clatter of loose shingles sends Alyssa darting back into her hiding place just in the nick of time. No sooner is she under cover than a silhouette appears on the roof, outlining the trim upper body of a young man. The silhouette lingers for a moment, then withdraws with a rasping sound like leather on wood. Whoever it was, it didn't look like Kaelen... Alyssa hopes that her ophiduan companion spotted the sentry as well, or at least had similar luck in evading its notice. She considers leaving her cover to warn Dagnyr and Larynn, but decides against it; their disguises should be enough to pacify the sentry, but contacting them now would ruin their cover as well as her own. For the time being, it's best to watch and wait for the signal as planned. Keeping an eye on the rooftops in case the sentry returns, Alyssa edges back toward the window to resume her eavesdropping...
