Re: Transdim Thieves: Celeste
Celeste waited as the guards slowed down and the people in the streets disappeared away, leaving an a nearly silent town if not for the footsteps of the temple guards and a few calls of various night creatures. As they began to slow, she started to count how long her windows would be, leaving room either side so that any noises she did make wouldn't be so close as to cause suspicion.
Eventually, she was comfortable with her moment of opportunity, and moved into action. Silently she vaulted onto the thin wooden barricade that ringed the walkway the guards patrolled on. From there, she withdrew her grapple, covered in cloth to dampen the noise of it attaching and swung it a few times to build up speed before releasing. She only had time for one attempt with the hook, but her training failed her not, it attaching securely to the window. A moment's pause to check for noise, before she began to hoist herself up towards the window.
Once she pulled herself through, she hastily pulled up the rope and stashed it away once more. She was in. It seemed to be an internal hallway, similar to the one beneath the window, although this one had doors running along the interior wall opposite the large open windows. She could spot three doors along this wall with no markings to differentiate each other, plus the walkway turned around a corner either end moving around the building.
