DandelionNote & Dagger
DandelionNote DandelionNote
Ever thought about staging a grand festival to distract the guards while we pull off the biggest heist the town has ever seen? I could spin a tale of a wandering bard that draws their attention, and you could plan the exact timing of every step.

Sure, as long as we map every guard shift, every lantern swing, and have a backup for the bard tripping over his lute—otherwise the only thing we’ll pull is a front‑row seat to a quiet town.

Sounds like a grand plan! I’ll start humming a distraction tune that’s impossible to ignore, and we’ll have a second song ready if the lute decides to act up. With our mapping and a bit of luck, the guards will be dancing while we sneak the loot. Let’s make this a night the village will talk about for years.

Nice outline, but let’s run a risk audit before we set the drums. Guard patrols, patrol overlap, guard fatigue—those are the numbers that matter. And I’ll be the one turning the lute into a silent trap if it starts singing too loudly.

Sounds smart—I'll keep the rhythm tight and make sure the lute stays quiet when we need it. Just let me know the patrol schedules, and I’ll add a snappy song that’ll distract them while you do the real work. The night’s ours, as long as we stay two steps ahead.

Patrols: two shifts. First runs 00:15–02:00, second 02:00–04:00, both sweeping the main square twice each hour. They slow after 02:30 due to heat. Drop our pickpocket at 01:45, while the bard starts the tune at 01:40 to snag the first guard’s attention. I’ll stay in the shadows until 02:15, then we hit the vault. Keep the lute silent, and we’ll keep them dancing long enough to finish.
