Better to pine for the Dwarf than the fjords! [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img] We have a very bad history with pack animals. Let's hope poor Murphy has better luck than our previous animals.

"So, your alternative to going over the wall is to walk up to the closed door and knock?" Olaf asks and he seems serious with the question.

"Lost, innocent pilgrims knocking at the front door might create a good diversion while we nimble ones slip over the back wall," suggests Highbough, fixing his gaze firmly upon Josiane, Guntrum, and Murphy.

"Might I be permitted a glimpse of the trap before I allow its jaws to close around me?" asks Josiane with a pretty smile; "I may be able to give some guidance as to the lay-out of the abbey. I was raised in one, after all."

Highbough uses the butt of his spear to draw a map in the dirt of the abbey layout as best he remembers it from last night, for the benefit of Josiane and the other party members.

Josiane studies Highbough's map diligently, looking for any features she may recognise from her convent days.

Gustave joins the planning party, having finally completed the packing of his gear. He slips on a last mailed gauntlet as he squats before the earthen diagram.

"I wonder if there are any sisters in distress in there...", he muses.
