Dale moves with Christopher. "The girls can handle that side of things, I hope."

Are you all going with Christopher?

(I'll move on with everybody after Tuesday in the US unless the player states his/her character stays behind, and says what they do. If you all post earlier, the game goes on earlier.)

Saul matches his stride with Christopher's (Whom I assume it taking the lead). Perhaps the sight of a knight and a Holy Man will help reduce the bandit's tendency to violence. "I wish we had a few bows with us." Saul says as he glances around nervously at random windows and arrow slots.

Looking almost abashed at the lack of need for his plan, Matthias follows along with the others, assuming that men of action and people know better than he the ways of other humans.

Leaning close to Thelma, Eloise whispers in her ear. "I don't like this.. Really, do they think these people will just run away?"

"I ummm have a suggestion." she says to the group, "Let me sneak around with Thelma, we can get around them." Drawing her little dagger she sneaks out of the door to the right, using building 6 as cover.

Move Silently: 1d100=64, Hide in Shadows: 1d100=35 Pass

Will the men let Eloise go without comment?

For your reference, I post the plan of the castle again. You were in building #7, the smoke is coming from the chimney of #9. The wall of #9 that is facing towards you is made of stone in the ground floor and without door or window. The upper story is just a gable made of timberframe with one small window.

(The 'D's in #7 show the place of the doors)

(Matthias is more mouse than man)

Dale nudges Thelma and says with a growl. "Follow her, she will need your company."

"I'm on it," Thelma tells the group with a smile as she follows the her friend. She attempts to keep pace with Eloise.

I will let the GM roll since I am on a tablet at work.

(Sorry, my computer died. I'm writing this from my daughter's, but can use it for longer only tomorrow when she's at school, I will post then)

When Eloise and Thelma leave the building, they notice the gate tower to their right, with the inner gates bolted as they knew it would be. The part of courtyard they can see is deserted, with no sign of habitation or recent use. The courtyard is part paved, part rock, with weeds growing in the cracks.
Ahead to their left is a large rectangular building of stone and timberframe, it loo ks rich (building #8). Directly to their left is the massive, circular stone keep. It has no window or doors in the lower story at all (building #6). A wooden bridge on a pillar connects those two.

Does Eloise continue to where she planned to go, or is she distracted by the new finds?

Eloise moves up to building 8, looking in the closest window while crouching on her bent knees. "This looks.. different." she says her mind still on building 9

The lower two stories of building #8 are made completely of stone. There is a big entrance gate, and quite a number of windows. However, those are high on the wall and narrow. Eloise might just squeeze through, but can't be sure not to get stuck. She can peek into one all right, but sees only one large room with a nice wooden staircase in the back (where the courtyard wall is).

"Would you like to take a look? Or should we go with the others?" She asks Thelma with a nudge.
