It's S-s-so C-c-cold...

[calypso]

She was shivering in her deer skin boots, wishing against everything that she was in her courtyard in her shorts and shirt, watching the birds sing. And she was sort of also cursing the living day lights out of her King, though he couldn't hear her because he was in the south and warm and not freezing his stinking arse off...But that's beside the point.

"I a-a-am s-s-so gonna k-kill him..." She muttered, the rest of her crew chuckling at her antics. They knew she hated the cold so much she was ready to burn the whole stinking place down around it's ears. She chucked through snow, glaring at it angrily.

[khalora]

Chase almost laughed, but he knew better than that... the cold was biting into him as well, and he also wished that he was somewhere else right now, but he had to keep a strong impression in front of the Southerners... he was their first pirate ally here, so he had to look good.

Chase had his crossbow out and was looking down the slope of the mountain, over Elina's walls at the tall tower that was there, and at the soldiers that were lined around the walls. That tower was their target, and it wasn't going to be easy...

"Ma'am, how would you propose that we begin this infiltration. We could try the taverns to see if the citizens know of what is going on, but the secret, juicy, military stuff will all be in that tower... I don't see many ways past the walls..."

And idea popped into his head, as he looked at the high ridges that spanned the back of the tower, and almost touched it in places. "Maybe we could climb those mountains and get in by rapelling down?"

[calypso]

She looked at the man and cast a sly glance at him. "I can get in." She said. It was true, she could get in, but she didn't see how the men were going to get in. "I have a few...tricks." She said, arching an eyebrow. They could get more information if they split up and met back at sun down. She turned fully to the pirate and relayed her idea to him, wondering what his response to it would be. She always welcomed ideas, it was a chance to improve oneself.

[khalora]

Chase listened to her idea, and it sounded good to him... "If the troops can't get in your way, I'll see if I can get them in my way... Mine will be a little bit more conspicious I would think, and if fighting happens I don't want to be left alone in there." He paused a moment. "I'm not very good at hand-to-hand combat."

"If you don't mind me asking ma'am... how do you intend to get inside the walls?"

[Ice]

...Hold on. Calypso, you are now in three places at once...Chase, you are now in three places at once. Come on people! Stick to the rules!

[calypso]

She sighed and shook her head. "That's to bad, I rock at it!" She laughed and shook her head. Turning she walked down the hill, her eyes lowered as she came up to the gaurd at the gate. A batt of her eye and she was in the city. Oh but it ruled to be a girl! She would've thrown her head back and laughed aloud if it wouldn't've totally destroyed her cover.

She walked to the tower, and leaned against a gaurd there, twirling a bit of hair around her fingers, showing off her cleavage and all. And again, she was in. She crept about, wondering where to start...

[khalora]

Chase watched Calypso go, watching her walk away, it was no doubt that she was so good at getting information off people...

Chase shook his head, what was he thinking?!

"Alright guys, lets start our climb." Chase took ten of the men with him and left the rest to set up and defend a small camp up in the trees.

The mountains were horribly steep, and it took him a couple of hours at least to get to a decent height. Once he was in line with one othe windows, he tied a rope to the end of one of his bolts and fired it at the bricks above the window. The bolt dug into the crack in between the bricks, and it held there, but Chase hoped that it would hold his weight, and the wieght of the men. He tied his end off to a rock above him, then slid down it towards the window, hoping to god that none of the soldiers were looking up at that instant...

The room was empty, some good luck at last, and it was much warmer in here, for that Chase was ever thankful, and he knew Calypso would be too, if she had gotten in yet. Chase waited until the men were in and then he cut the rope. He had another one to escape if he needed it.

"Alright men, lets see what we can find up here..."

[calypso]

She very distinctly heard them enter, after all, she had been listening for them. She walked up to where they would be coming in. She leaned against the wall and arched an eyebrow, "You got in, good." She laughed and turned around, setting her mind to work. She sailed down the stairs, her hips swinging in rythem. She saw a door, and without another thought entered.

Cally tiptoed in, her eyes wide. She liked what she saw, files. Sure, they were boring and dusty, but h.ell, they had a lot of information in them. She moved to one file, opened it, and coughed hysterically. Dust everywhere, that one was old, obviously, so she shut it and moved on.

[khalora]

All of the men followed Calypso down the stairs, obviously they had more trust in her than him. He sighed and looked up the stairs, there were still rooms above here, and he wanted to know what was on top of this tower. Ice's personal chamber he guessed.

"I heading up, Calypso," he called quietly. "Watch your rear..." and with that he was gone, up the stairs as fast as his legs would carry him... they wouldn't have much time before they were found...

[calypso]

((What should they find?))

She heard him, but knew he wouldn't be looking or listening to hear her response. The rest of the crew fanned out and searched. Hunting through everything, looking for anything that would point to what was going on. She bit her lip and smacked herself in the forehead. "Fan out and search the tower, stay out of everyone's site. Look for anything. I'm going to talk to the gaurds, see if they know anything." She told them.

[Ice]

Ice wasn't a complete idiot. Neither were his guards. Ice and Samara stood in the shadows, clearly watching the people begin searching through his private items. It wasn't until he was sure his guards were in the right position that he stepped forward in clear view.
"And just what do you think you are doing here?" He asked, holding his scythe aggressively. Samara made a deep growling noise within her throat and she bared her long fangs in a malicious grin.
The High guards of Ice's Tower surronded the two spies and their allies and formed a wide circle with their spears held at the ready.
"Drop your weapons." Ice commanded. "I have you surronded with guards in here and out there. You are in my territory now, It's best you started playing by my rules." Samara growled and Ice grinned. "You honestly thought you could just walk into the most highly defended tower in the North?" Ice laughed humourlessly. "Think again."

[calypso]

"It looks like I did walk in, sir." She said, her eyes wide, innocence radiating off of her. She chewed her lip, tucked a leg behind the other. She hooked her arms togethor in front of her, pumping up her breasts in the progress. She was worried about the spy though...

[Ice]

Ice rolled his eyes. "Guards, don't listen to her, she's as trecherous as the rest of the bastard Southerners."
Ice walked up however, and stood just outside the ring of spears, looking at the two head spies. "I hope you two aren't overly picky about accomodations. The prisons in my tower and quite cold, you may even find yourself frozen to them at some point." Ice laughed humourlessly.

[amory]

ooc: I'm sorry for interrupting, but is Chase with Calypso or is he away from Ice?

[Ice]

ooc: He's here.
