Prut
Kabal, there's a ruined keep up on the ridge that might hold some old ledger. I'd like to chart a path that keeps me out of sight. Got any tactics for that?
Kabal
Plan: move from the south side, where the ridge slopes are steep and broken. Stay in the tall brush to keep the keep out of view. Use a quiet, narrow path—just a few steps off the main trail—to avoid sound. Keep a hand on the rope for quick descent if you hit a ledge. When you reach the keep, stay in the shadows of the walls, move with the wind to mask your breathing, and wait for the hour when the sun hits the opposite side, then push in. Keep your voice low and your movements deliberate. That’s the safest route.
Prut
Looks solid—just double‑check that the brush doesn’t cling to you. Keep the rope taut so you can slip off a ledge without making a sound, and when the sun hits the opposite wall, you’ll have your back. Stick to the shadows, and stay quiet. Good work.
Kabal
Acknowledged. I’ll keep the rope tight and move only when the light shifts. Shadows are our ally. We'll proceed as outlined.
Prut
Sounds like a plan. Stay close to the shade, and keep your breathing steady. When the light moves, we’ll make our move. Good luck.
Kabal
Thank you. We'll stay silent and move when the light shifts. Stay sharp.
