Cyril simply nods and picks at his food for a bit, his thoughts still elsewhere. Before much longer, however, they are interupted and taking to the next testing area. He stands towards the back and listens patiently, already considering possibilities. It comes as no surprise that Ashe picks Caelynn first, it's the smart move.
Seeing Cyril go a bit quiet after answering her question she decides to not push for any more information. She got some already and was content with that, for now anyway.
She continues to eat untill Andela shows up for their next test. Walking to the mock town she makes sure to pick up all her gear, not knowing what awaits her.
With Ashe picking Caelyn she nods and moves to stand near him waiting on the other picks. She starts to look around to try and get an idea of the layout as far as she could see from here.
(Ashe, your choice of Pepper or Pernach! I'll try to get the competition post up tonight - I have a late Zoom call that may keep me from writing it up, though You may want to start a private chat with your team, though, as I am going to give you some puzzles and tests that you will need to work on together, but since this is a competition you won't want the other team to know what you're doing =)
Pepper gives a wry smile, and a little salute in Ashe's direction, then picks up her chainmail and stashes it to the side before joining her team. She cracks her neck and unconsciously checks the hang of her swords, grinning at Kira and Cyril. "This is your show, I'm just here for the breaking part of the breaking and entering. Tell me what to do."

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. I love it so.
Pernach makes sure he has his dagger and handaxe at his belt, and moves over to join his team. He looks briefly askance at Pepper in her gambeson but doesn't say anything.
Team Alpha: Ashe; Caelyn; Pernach Team Bravo: Kira; Cyril; Pepper
Each team is led to a small, 2-story building in the practice yard – designed to replicate a typical city dwelling or business. The main entrance is a heavy wooden door, and there is a smaller entry in the back that is also closed with a door. Windows on the first floor are all blocked by wooden shutters. You see closed (but not shuttered) windows on the 2 story, 15’ above the ground. The edge of the thatched roof is 20’ up. The first floor is built of stone – the second story is plaster and wood.
"OK dearies, here we are. Each team has their own house to work in. Your goal is to retrieve the intel as quickly as possible without alerting any residents or guards. And remember, this is a competition!" the halfling smiles broadly. "So, get to it!" and she waves you toward your respective buildings.
Cyril stands silently for a moment, surveying the building in front of them with Pepper and Kira. After a moment he tilts his head and speaks quietly to the others, directing his words to their leader. "Alright. Any ideas?"
Good - I'll run this challenge in your separate threads - and if anything happens that the other group might notice, hear, etc, I'll post it here for all!
All seems to be going well in both buildings as the two groups gain access to and silently explore the interior. However, within mere seconds of each other, a loud, shrill alarm sounds from both houses - meaning that both teams forgot their mission brief and grabbed the false scroll case. Andela shakes her head and laughs. "Ahh...the young and greedy. Will they ever learn to follow directions?"
Pernach comes out with the rest of his team, with the scroll in Caelyn's hand. He leaves it to her to address their instructor, and instead looks to see if the healers are still at hand.
Ashe wipes some sweat off his brow. "That was too close. Good work, you two. I made a good choice picking the you,"He says, patting Pernach on the shoulder and nodding to Caelyn.

Love God. Love Others. Any Questions?
Kira scans the group for a few moments, before, "Cyril."
Cyril nods, almost distractedly as his eyes still play over the grounds before them, before moving to stand near Kira, contemplating.

Pepper looks up as the teams are being picked, shedding her armor, still. She nods at the logical choices so far.

"Next, I pick Pernach."
Pepper gives a wry smile, and a little salute in Ashe's direction, then picks up her chainmail and stashes it to the side before joining her team.

Seeing the remaining picks Caelyn remains silent. Each team seemed to have a similar variation of abilities.
Being presented with the house she looks around a bit trying to determine their options. Caelyn leans in to huddle with her teammembers
More info in our super secret private dm :)
( i assume the teams can no longer see the other)
(Team B has set up a private message thread with us and Rhanloi to discuss, fwiw.)

Ashe wipes some sweat off his brow. "That was too close. Good work, you two. I made a good choice picking the you," He says, patting Pernach on the shoulder and nodding to Caelyn.
Caelyn moves forward and removes her hood with one hand as she nods back to Ashe and to Pernach We had a good captain.
She then moves to Andela streching her other arm forward holding the bone scroll and whispers The wooden one was a bit mean.
Returning to her group she looks around trying to see or hear the others. Wondering how they are doing.
Pepper follows Kira out of the other building, Cyril slung over her shoulder. She’s not even breathing hard, but Cyril is out cold.
”Looks like you three made a good team,” she says, scanning them for injuries.
