Sneak into it? Rikkes head seemingly perked up at the words. The girl puckered her lips briefly thinking this option over before a mischievious smile crossed her face "Good idea!" the rogue quickly glanced over herself to see what exactly she had with herself.

"If things go bad, I'll be counting on you 'kay?" she'd wink slyly and peek up at the tower to look at the construction itself "Now then... where could I enter..."

Janet pursed her lips as she looked up at the tower. Scanning the area the both spotted the same opening at the same time. "There!" Both girls smiled as Janet handed up her rope. "Okay that looks like a secound floor arrow slit be careful Rikke. Don't let your butt get stuck k. I would head along the wall it should be wide enough to let you get to the right position and out of sight of those fools."

Rikke would kiss her friend on the cheek and smile brightly "I'll try to make this quick. If something seems off, enter only when it's safed. No point in both of us walking right into them."

"Be back before you know it." With a confident glint her eyes Rikke would swiftly sneak to the entry point they saw and begin her infiltration. The girl eyes lingered on the Discolored Presli emblem a short while, before she tightened the ropes around one of her throw daggers or a sturdy stick.

Settling on a stick for greater hold Rikke wound up her toss. Throwing with accuracy much honed by years of adventuring Rikke landed her toss. Sucess on the first try! Smiling she gave a playful wink to Janet and started to climb. It was easy after the broken stair inccident and she was soon out of sight though much to her chagrin Janet was indeed right about her getting her butt stuck. Thankfully with a careful twist and and bend that she had learned from Jess from a very intresting night she was through. Her first sight as her eyes adjusted was of numorous barrels full of arrows. Ahead she heard the shuffle of feet but it seemed to be more of someone shifting their weight. To her right was a stonewall which ended in an opening before forming another wall.

Rikke would deftly land from a particularly tight squeeze and quickly duck behind the nearest barrel on her left. Her heart beating ever so slightly faster, the rogue couldn't help, but enjoy the thrill of the moment. Afterall it had been quite some time... hopefully her edge had not dulled one bit.

Taking a peek further down, Rikke noted the basic layout of the area. As well as a few sighs and grumbles from the likely few patrols from around. First checking to see the source of the shuffle would reveal a guard busy on the look out from one of the slits. He was alone for the time being, but who knew how long his attention span or the lonesome nature of his patrol would last.

Rikke would carefully follow the barrels keeping an eye out on the passage from her right and slowly approach the guard, her steps silent and eyes sharp. Ducking from barrel to barrel, until she was finally in range. Her blade turned to it's side before unleashing her lethal signature, though this time leaving fractures at worst, rather then killing the guard.

Moving silently as the wind over grass Rikke approached her target. Shifting her blade the rogue lashed out quickly stricking her foe with the flat of her blade. The sound of a thud and a grunt was all Rikke needed as the demon began to slump. Thankfully as close as she was she was able to lessen the creatures fall. Looking about with one guard down Rikke was clear in this room. However foot steps and lowered voices indicated that she was not alone.

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Thankfully a nearby barrel and shade would hopefully provide exactly what she needed. It was clear if the others came they would come from the substantial collidor. Meaning getting back to the cluster of barrels nearby was out of the question, though one of the barrels as she noted before was nearby and more towards the corner.

The rogue quickly grabbed the utterly KO'ed guard by his shoulders and dragged him towards the shadows and behind a barrel aiming to more or less block line of sight for anyone who'd come down the collidor.

However as she placed the demon in position, the rogue herself needed to hide in the exact same spot! "Damn it..." the shuffling was getting closer, but the only stop to hide was taken!... unless "I won't tell if you won't..." the rogue looked to the unconcious demon briefly and got in position right on top of him.

Wincing lightly Rikke would quickly mount her legs around the unconscious demons lower body and 'straddle him' - her volumptions leather clad legs firmly pressed on either side of the enemy, her generous bust brushing right against the guards face as she sat up on him, peeking from beyond the barrel towards the others.

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Her compromising position attained Rikke hid. Thankfully the shuffling passed her by leaving her alone with her unconsious playmate. After awhile the sounds of a door opening and closeing greeted her ears. Once the movement settled down she felt free to spy around the corner. Her she was greeted with a stare in the distance as well as a large room to her left with no door and the sound of people speaking in low voices almost muttering to themselves. To her right was a another room with a door then a corridor with the faintest trace of sunlight, and then yet another room with a door. At the end of the corridor a spiral stair lead up.

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

As the shimmering died down and the sentries went back to their own things, finally Rikke could relax "Phew~..." the rogue sighed lightly sitting back onto the unconscious guard. Looked like the coast was clear to proceed.

With a huge smile the girl leaned forward and gave the unconscious guard a kiss on his cheek before she got up. Following the wall, Rikke returned near the hallway.

By the sounds of it quite a few guards went in through one of the doors, leaving her ample time dash aside if suddenly they decided to leave. Meaning the only possible threat nearby would be the open area to her right. Remaining silent Rikke would proceed along the western wall of the collidor and peek inside the open area.

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Staying hidden Rikke looked around the wall. In this room she saw two guards at desks writing field reports or some such. A small depression in the room indicated yet another stair that lead down likely to the first floor. These two where clearly busy. This left the rooms and corridor to her right. The end of the corridor on the right most likely lead to another arrow slit while the contents of the two rooms where left unknown.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Well if they were busy, there was no reason to interupt their 'very important work'. With a sly smirk Rikke would stealthly sneak past the open entrance and towards the stairway keeping her eyes sharp for any patrols or activity from the rooms.

 

[ranger]

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Grinning all to pleased with herself the rogue easily avoided being seen by the busy guards. However as she passed the corridor to the right she saw yet another guard looking out the window. Still she was past him with out any issue only to have to duck back around a corner before raching the stair as yet another guard was at arrow slit. However he was not facing looking out and was looking across the room. If Rikke tried to make a dash for the stairs she would be seen as no cover presented itself.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke approached the end of the corridor and peeked to the last guard, thankfully the shading of this place meant even her orange hair wouldn't stand out too much. This was bad! A yell from the guard, gods forbid a shot or fight and she'd be fighting the whole tower! Keeping to the corner the rogue quickly scanned the large room before her for anything of note. If the room was nothing more than the stairs, depening on the material. She'd throw one of her knives at them to create noise near the very top. Just enough for it to echo out across the empty room. If there was something else, perhaps a kin to the barrel of water she saw her actions would be different.

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Quckly Rikke grabbed one of her posioned throwing daggers and aimed it up at the entry to the next floor. Giving it a light fling the dagger flew straight and struck stone. However it did little to solve Rikke's guard problum however she did hear a voice from above. "Zevis are you dropping things again ya clutz." This provoked a growel from the rather disgrunted demon soldier. Hearing a shift in weight Rikke heard steps approaching as the demon turned to look up the stairs. "Ya wish you pussy fart." This was a golden opertunity the guard was distracted and as long as his antagonizer was not looking down Rikke could take him out quickly.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

The golden opportunity would instead come... Rikkes body tensed as she prepared for a swift dash forward. Her eyes sharp and blade ready. When the guard turned around and went on his way back to his post!

The ambush strike the moment the guard neared his post much further away from the staircase! If successful Rikke would quickly catch the about to fall over slammed to unconscious guard and pull him towards the corner of the room. His back to the wall "Hum... lets see..." smiled with great mischief the rogue leaned forward and made a few alterations. Crossing his legs over and hands together to make him seem more asleep on the job than out "That should do it."

With that done and hopefully undisturbed it was time to see what was the situation with the stairs. Clearly someone was at the very top of them, but could Rikke see or hear them as he was now.

Like a coild snake Rikke shot forth her light steps more than a match for these common riff raff. Delivering a knockout blow Rikke had to lean forward to catch the falling man before he it the ground. Thankfully she managed to do just that and set the downed foe into a resting position. Checking her six Rikke looked around and peered up risking being spotted. Looking up Rikke found a guard at a table as well as three closed doors.

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Well this one is almost going to be mean. It would take much less effort to sneak up to the demon at the table, especially with him facing away. Still ever cautious before entering the upper floor in full Rikke looked both ways for any out of sight demons and once again turned her blade, before slamming the guard unconscious.

Dusting herself off the rogue couldn't help, but smile at the fine job she was doing... wait... what WAS she doing! A little stumped at her actions the rogue gently winced. She wasn't here to reach this buildings top! But to gather information!

Rikke looked back towards the stairs, the battle plans would be an exceptional treat to peek at, but for the time being there was no opportunity to get to them. Not without open conflict... though what exactly was this table for. Perhaps even filled with? Rikke would gently pull the guard back off the table and deeper into his seat and look over what the guard was doing before she interupted.

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke dashed forth once more silent as the wind and slammed the guard with her blade. This made a nice if loud thump as Rikke managed to rebound the guards head of the desk. Startled by her own actions she nearly wet herself when a shout from another room intterupted her thougths it was familar and the responding voice was not but both femine. "QUITE OUT THERE! THE NEXT FOOL WHO MAKES A NOISE WILL BE MY NEXT QUEST!" Rikke didn't answer and stood a moment in silence. "Good know your place.. No where were we..." "Nnnooo" *CRACK!* "EEEkk!" This noise came from ahead leaving a room on her left and right as unknowns.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke froze up at the sudden booming voice and would only relax once the voice was content. Gods this place was absolutely filled with guards! What was she thinking going in at such a time of day!

Still even if she was safe now the crack of the whip, echoed with a clear memory from long ago, back in the manor. Her eyes narrowing darkly Rikke would continue with her original plan and look over if she could find any documents of note. Though the likely echoes of pain would greatly increase the speed of her search through.

Digging threw the desk Rikke soon found a hidden compartment holding a bag of at lest 50 denari. Still while that was a find what she was looking for was not money... for once. Shuffling through the papaers at the desk Rikke found that she couldn't read most of them. Written in some form of language she was unfamilar with. Setting those aside she did however find a note written in a clean flowing style.

"Yenna your orders have changed. We want the orange haird girl alive. She is the key to brining Jessica back into the fold. Oh I delivered a present to you she should be waiting in your room."

"Mistress Ella"

Looking over the note Rikke moved to the door and listened in. From what she could hear was the creaking of a bed and the moans of a girl ocassionally broken by a whip crack.
