Well, if you're going to do it at night, there won't be anyone there except the guards. But if it's during the day, yes, there will be about five to ten people around.
Mission time: night
Preparation: Purchase from Sixtus the Mage: Potion of Accuracy, Potion of Strength, Monkey Potion 1, Monkey Potion 2 (again, if there is no risk of overdose).
Actions: When there is only one guard left at the slave's cage, I will try to assassinate him from the shadows, and then immediately hide the body somewhere out of sight.
- If possible, I will repeat this procedure with all the other three guards (if they are guarding in other places as shown on the map and if they cannot see each other). After that, I will pick the locks, take the elf, and leave through the shadows as far away from this place as possible.
- If it is not possible to kill the rest in this way, I will try to pick the locks while they haven't decided to change positions/before I am discovered.
- In case of anything (if I am discovered or the assassination fails), I am ready to fight the guards.
Let's go with this plan, otherwise I'll get completely confused %)
