I. HIGHTOWN - NIGHT TIME

This is probably the first and last time that Fern is going to plan something this risky, because as it is, her stomach feels like it’s full to bursting with butterflies and she’s spooked by even the slightest sound coming from the surrounding streets. She has her back plastered to a shadowed wall that provides her and the rest of her friends--co-conspirators?--a bit of cover, while still giving them a good view of the Chantry forest.

“Oh,” she breathes, her nerves most certainly getting the better of her, and presses her face into her palms, “this was a terrible idea.”

[OOC: Please keep all replies to one thread, and limit yourself to 1 or 2 replies a day so that other people don't get lost in the shuffle. Also, the end result of this thread should be 1) the recovery of the 3 stone markers, and 2) escaping while (narrowly) avoiding detection. PM me if you’ve got any questions!]


II. THE GALLOWS - SPEAKING TO BELETH

[TBD once the above thread has made a bit of progress.]

Worried that she'll give them away, Korrin darts across as quickly and quietly as she can manage, emphasis on the quickly part. The horns will stand out, and it won't matter how quiet she is if she's spotted. Only when she's across does she let out the breath she's been holding. Not having the issue Nahariel does, she glances over directly, though is quick to follow her into the forest.

For a moment Fern looks back at Sorrel in bewilderment before she remembers, and quickly darts her eyes to the ground. Here in the dark she can see clearly, but the eyes that give her sight may also give her away.

"Sorry," she whispers breathily to Sorrel and follows his lead, disappearing further into the forest until they can meet up with Nari and Korrin together. At that whistle tries to peek towards where Cade and Simon are without giving herself away, and hopes that they are still able to keep the guards distracted.

"We should find the stones," she whispers to the others.
