Coming closer to the clearing, Ithi'ka sees that it opens up into a quite large clearing.  A rough stone wall of perhaps 8 feet has an iron gate set in it opposite the path.  There is a leafy pile in the area between the trees and the gate, and the dirt trail leads around it in a circular pattern.  There is a 3 story house, in a farm style, if larger than most farm houses, visible past the wall.  Two half-orc guards in half plate walk guard across the entrance, each glances into the tunnel as he passes.<br/><br/>The area under the trees is dark enough, that if Kasumi tries to move silently through it without light, she is likely to step on something crunchy.  Ithi'ka herself would find it hard enough to tread the area outside the path without making noise, that aiding Kasumi as well would be quite difficult.   (Kasumi has a bracelet with ever burning cast upon it, pushed far under her sleeve, but to use it so close to the guards might attract their attention.)<br/><br/>((Subtract 5 from her own move silently if Ithi'ka attempts to aid Kasumi move wihout light.  Note: Ithi'ka is aware that the light Kasumi carries is not particularily bright, and would not be visible to the guards from a sufficient distance, perhaps 200 feet, and much less through the trees, (perhaps 60-100 through the trees.  She is also aware of Kasumi's ability to cover a very long distance in a surprisingly quick time, still moving nearly silently, and losing no agility.)
