Shay hadn't expected the letter that morning; she could feel the weight of the key in her coat pocket. She'd take out the scrap of paper she had pickpocketed with her invitation the other day and compare the writing. Who knew her as Titania? And who knew that she'd be able to help at all? Of course, even if the writing did match up, how did they know she had taken ownership of the name and invitation? She did drop the name at that one pub in the Sailor's ghetto... The little details mattered little right then. Of course, after arriving at the constabulary, Shay hadn't realized how her small actions would truly manifest. The issue of torture by the city's law enforcement seemed to a touchy topic; between the words of the guard she had spoken to and the crowd of protesters in front of the building, Shay was able to gather that much. She didn't do any of this to get involved in civic politics--Shay just wanted to clear her conscious.<br/><br/>The thief, now apparent jailbreaker, cased the building at a steady, casual walking pace. The guard she had spoken to didn't say where the guest room was, even in terms of which floor, though Shay could hardly imagine it being on the first. For the moment the crowd was doing her a favor, keeping wary eyes on the front of the building. Inciting a riot might have brought more guards to the front, but incurring more harm than what her little bit of immature selfishness had already wrought didn't appeal to Shay. That was what separated her from a thug or a murderer after all: she didn't revel in violence and she rather her marks blame some nameless thief than for something like this to happen. ...maybe she should leave some sort of calling card or something. She'd note to disperse the crowds after she made sure the maid found refuge.<br/><br/>Shay noted which side of the building the sewer access was. Given the cart with what Shay assumed to be the Justice department's insignia, the prisoner transfer was occurring soon. Going to check out if their mysterious benefactor was legit would take up time. Going through the first floor was risky and climbing up the side of the building hardly appealed to Shay, especially when the alleyway was exposed.; she hated climbing on the best of days, but under pressure? Not if she had to. Shay scanned the buildings on either side of the constabulary. She might not have found an easier path, but the alley was certainly quieter--likely another effect of the rally in front of the constabulary.<br/><br/>What the thief hated about climbing was the need for brute strength--Shay didn't lack the aptitude by means. Her form was good, but as she lost her grip and came sliding down the side of the building on her first attempt, she let out a sigh of frustration. There had to be a spell she could research to make this easier. Fueled by her frustration though, Shay was able to muster the strength when she needed it to pull her up the pipes and ledges to the second floor of the adjacent building. Taking a moment to catch her breath, Shay made the rest of the effort up to the building's roof.<br/><br/>Shay wasted no time in making the jump to the constabulary, easily clearing the gap and sticking her landing. And praying no one heard or saw her during mid flight or upon landing. She took a moment to survey what she could of the city from her vantage point, but only for so long as to steady her nerves. This had been the easy part. Getting in was another story altogether. Shay would look for some way on the roof for a way inside, but lacking that, she would try to be mindful as she either climbed or, preferably, featherfalled her way down to the second story ledge. She'd keep in mind how the windows of the second floor had been laid out and try to avoid them.<br/><br/><hr/>First Climb Attempt to second floor of adjacent building: 13 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=63455)<br/>Second Climb Attempt to second floor of adjacent building: 25 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=63456)<br/>First Climb Attempt to roof of adjacent building: 19 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=63458)<br/>Acrobatics (Jump): 22 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=63457)
