If there are guards there; chances are pretty good that they’re guarding something worth guarding. Do you think you could get through the door unnoticed? Seems like it might be a bit difficult for me to without a really good distraction. Unless Miracle has a better idea; Haahqae will circle around ...

"You can go and ask her if it's fast enough. I'll go out and scout some more. Meet back here soon and see what we've discovered."

Haahqae's next plan is to go upstairs through hallway 10 to room 2;then slip up the staircase to the second floor.

"I haven't had much of a chance to explore the second floor before; but I am quite sure he doesn't sleep on the first floor. I suspect I might find it by guards being posted nearby; but failing that I'll have to investigate some rooms and make best guesses. Unless; anyone else here knows the m...

Returning to the others Haahqae will try and explain the situation as best as he can without maps or being visible. "Upstairs is the kitchen, it's currently empty, but there are people sleeping in adjoining rooms; probably servants. There's two paths from the kitchen that we could take to the s...

Haahqae will watch for a short time (5 minutes) to see if there's any pattern that the guards tend to pace and if they're specifically guarding any particular door or location. Then he'll try scouting out hallway #10, specifically wanting to scout out Room 2 and Room 11 from that direction.

Haahqae will listen at the doors for rooms 7 and 8 to see if he thinks there's anyone inside; sleeping or otherwise, then investigate room 2 to see if it's being guarded.

Haahqae will return to the others and explain "No exit that way unfortunately. There does appear to be a few spears if anyone needs additonal weaponry. Otherwise, I don't really recommend going that way. I'll go check the kitchens to see if we happen to be lucky. And with that he'll be off agai...

Haahqae crosses the room and tries to peer through the door on the other side (or failing that listen at it) before checking to see if it's locked (if yes; pick the lock). If he doesn't detect anyone and manages to get the door unlocked; he'll go through and see what's on the other side.

Just wanted to call this one out as an unfair comparison.
Haahqae IS a circus trickster.

"Shh" Haahqae cautions as he hears the commotion. "Just because there's no guards in ths room doesn't mean that there's none within earshot of an elephant stampede. Now; two doors there. That one leads to upstairs and the kitchens. Seems to me fairly likely that there will be some se...

(For some reason I had pictured the drop much larger the last time I was down here. Maybe I was just thinking in terms exagerated due to mouse sized ideas) Haahqae nods at the others and moves into the washroom, where he'll listen at the door to the warehouse to see if he can detect any guards or se...

When the rope is clear for climbing; Haahqae will climb up and investigate the location to try and figure out how he's going to get up to the mansion.

Haahqae looks around at the quiet assembly, from one face to another, until he finally declares: "Well, doesn't anyone have any rope? My goodness." Then pulls out his own silken rope to pass up to Pen.

"Thanks. I know you might expect a lot from me, but I find it a bit easier to sneak through deathtraps of a mansion if I'm not painfully throbbing all over my body. Now... where would one find the entrance from this side? I'd only ever seen it from the top and I really don't know my way around...
