"Alright," Bruttius said with some hesitation. "I'm waiting for your instructions. The sooner we start, the sooner we finish."

- That's the spirit! I'll explain everything here. Unexpected circumstances may arise on-site, and I simply won't have time to do it then. Atamus has an estate outside the city. It's practically impossible to enter the estate grounds through conventional means. As you can see, the danger of the shadow method is that... - the archer pointed to the corpses of the elves. - I've eliminated that. Now, nothing will prevent us from taking the necessary positions and acting according to the plan.



- Atamus is guarded by 18 people. Five archers, ten warriors with shields, and three personal guards. To the left of the estate is a cliff, and there's a forest above and to the right. There's a low fence around it. Bruttius, you will position yourself here," the archer pointed to the trees above. "Your task will be to distract five of the guards. I'll take care of the rest. As soon as I give the signal, you will start shooting. The archers won't be able to reach you immediately; they'll have to get closer. You might have problems with the warriors. If you can't handle them before I arrive to help, run as far as possible into the forest and hide if you can. Sarael, your task is to emerge from the shadows of the house at the right time and throw this dagger at Atamus," the archer handed the elf a throwing dagger in a sheath. "I doubt you'll be able to kill him, but that's not necessary. Even a small cut will paralyze Atamus. As soon as you do that, jump to Gordian. It's best not to get involved in a fight with his personal guards, but if you do, don't forget to say goodbye to your life first.

"I don't trust mages either," Kyk nodded understandingly. "But what can she do? Does she please men or bake pies?"

- She'll be able to do whatever you want! She's a slave now.
