As the party watches the guards march from the fortress below, they discuss their plans for infiltration. Faerlin offers a few options: directly up the treacherous path to the front door, through the servant’s entrance, or a secret passageway around the back. All options have their benefits and risks, but none seem the obvious best choice. Deciding it would be best to consider their options while they make their way down, the group attempts to avoid the guards’ gaze. However, Jimothy halts suddenly and causes Eight to lose their footing. Chunks of rock tumble down the side of the cliff, soon followed by the sound of a trumpet. Eight quickly reacts and summons an illusory mountain goat in the hope of disguising the true source of the rockfall.
They notice that the doors of the fortress open again, revealing a second contingent of guards heading down the path. Feeling they’ve avoided being spotted for now, they quicken their pace. Deciding to split up, Faerlin provides a rough sketch of the interior to Rou and Eight, who will be heading the back way near the guards’ barracks while Faerlin and Trix head through the front. The two groups make their way in, albeit with mixed results.
