Kal speaks up "I didn't see much. Just a lot of cargo from someplace not near here. I would guess they stole it, but I really don't know."

"The Mockers don't know anything about the estate, but our best bet seems to be the house at this point anyway. They also said we can name the time and day for the diversion they offered. D'you think we'll need it?"

"I don't know if we will or not. If we can have Hack and Ran on guard at night and myself working late, we'd already have three of us there. If Hack and Ran are in a place to let the others sneak in, maybe we could get in on our own. A loud diversion might make it more difficult to sneak in and out. However if we are discovered and the alarm is raised, a distraction would be invaluable in letting us escape."
OOC: Does Allistair think it's possible for him to stay working late on a certain night, even if it's as a punishment from his lazy boss?

"Allistair, would it be possible for you to turn invisible and take a quick look at the basement on the other side of the house"

I'll try to get something out this afternoon. I've been swamped the past few days.

"Well, I don't think they will be putting Hack on guard duty anytime soon. Kline hates orcs and from the rumours I heard today, plans to put him to work at the nastiest jobs until he dies or quits."
Ranthir clears his throat before continuing.
"I, however, will be on night duty starting tomorrow. I will be given basic passwords and I am allowed to live in the barracks. I may be able to gather some more info there but I doubt it. The general members of the guard don't seem to really get inside the house at all. I also was told that the basement of the servants side of the house is about what you would expect. Laundry, storage, cold room. Nobody knew anything about the basement on the family side. I didn't get any of this info from the Seargents though. They probably know more than they let on. They also have key rings with keys to the house on them."
He stops here and looks to the group.
"I could probably spend some time and work my way up in the ranks and hope to gain access to the house but I don't think we have time for that. I also don't know if I could resist stepping in and stopping some of the crap I have seen the guards do to the maids of the house."
His eyes darken at this thought. These people were sick and had no regard for the dignity of life.
"I think we need to make a move soon. If there are any prisoners I have no doubt that they are being tortured at the very least. I can defeat either of the seargents in combat and get us keys to the house but I don't think I can do it without getting one of them alone. A distraction might help with this but it will still be risky. I wonder if Surin could get in and steal the keys without being noticed. I haven't seen signs of magic users among the guard so he might be able to go in invisibly to do this. Once we have the keys is the time I think we could use the distraction so that more of us could get into the house and to the family basement."
Ran stops here, waiting to see what the others think of his plan so far.

Harp thinks for a second, and then asks Alllistair "Do you think your viper could find a hole into the basement (like where a rat or some such thing got in) and look around? Maybe Ran could take him and drop him off on the outside of the building and let him try to find a way in and take a look around?"
