Milton will scout ahead, being all stealthy frog like.

The manor lies before you. The morning sun is in the sky. A few peasants can be seen toiling in the fields. A thin wisp of smoke rises from the manor's chimney.

You are on the eastern edge of the manor.

What are the other buildings on the map? Numbers 2 through 9?

From your vantage point, the other buildings appear to be smaller dwellings, a barn, and storage buildings.

"What do you say we try to sneak around the back and see if we can get in from there..?" Whispers Alexander to Milton, Aldarren, and Fredrick.

Would it be possible for them to sneak past the barn and storage buildings such that the men in the field will not be able to see them?

From your vantage point, you may indeed attempt to sneak in from the east side of the map. The serfs are busy toiling, head down, and hard at it.

Alexander will put his words to action and sneak down to the manor, and moving around the back (north side) to see if there any doors or windows. If all is clear, he will signal the rest to join him.

Alexander moves quickly towards the manor house. He sees what looks like a barn (#4 on map) and possibly a blacksmith workarea (#3). As he passes the barn, Alexander hears a sound that he hasn't heard for awhile, the whinny of a horse.

Alexander stops dead in his tracks as he hears the whinny. "Could it be true..?" he quietly whispers to himself. Images of him horseback riding, overseeing the land of his king wearing the colors of his family and bearing its shield with pride flash by. He shakes his head, trying not to get nostalgic, and he vows to himself: "It's only natural for a knight to have a horse. If all goes well at the manor, I will make that horse my prize."

He then sets off to scout further up ahead, at the north side of the manor.
