Capítulo 323: 223 - Ping the Penniless

Plotline: Main

Chapter Type: Society

On a moonless night, it is still a pain in the butt to get over a properly fortified wall during war. Even with night vision, infrared pits in the face, and enhanced smell, it's near impossible to find a place that isn't being watched by guards.

In retrospect, I should have just swum around to the ruins of the northern docks, climbed those walls, and started nearer the citadel.

It was something I'd have to remember the next time I broke into an armed fortification.

I've said that my pain tolerance is higher than most; I still felt it every time my talons pierced the wall to get a new handhold or foothold.

Move slowly enough, and you could cut down on your noise. Move too slowly, and dawn's light shows you on the machicolations.
