First, map the gate and its patrols in detail. Then build a small diversion—maybe a timed explosion or a false signal—to draw the guards away. While they’re chasing the noise, set up a hidden tunnel or a concealed ladder that leads directly into the courtyard. Make sure the path is wide enough for the warrior but narrow enough that no one will see the footfall. Keep the route light‑faced; use damp cloths or mud to hide the tread marks. Finally, coordinate a signal—like a lantern or a shout—so the warrior knows when the guards will be at their lowest vigilance. When the diversion hits, slip in, and you’ll have the element of surprise, all without anyone noticing a single step.

Good point about the rooftops, I’ll layer a silent echo on the wind. A small, low‑profile spark is enough to trigger the guard’s heads without flagging the whole block. I’ll line the path with old bark and moss, so no footprints. And I’ll find a runner who can keep the tempo—quiet, quick, and always in the shadows. Thanks for the reminder, the plan’s tighter than a drumbeat now.

Got it, I’ll keep it tight and quiet, let the wind do the talking. Thanks, I’ll stay one step ahead.
