Tilsu grabs a plate for herself and joins Zhernon, "Eat fast, Branig said he'd be back later. We may have just a some time before helping move more boxes."
The farmboy sat down with his plate and essentially re-enacted his earlier breakfast performance. In no time at all he was washing down his meal with the house-provided beverage.
Branig finds the group in the backyard and takes a seat "Job well done everyone here is your payment and don't worry there are no more deliveries tonight"He hands 50 copper pieces to each member. "I'll see you tomorrow bright and early. Now I am leaving the wagon here so keep and eye on it. If you need to find me just ask Kaphi I have dinner plans with my cousins nearby" He gets up and waves at Kaphi before leaving,
Roland scratched his head. "Okay, I may need an explanation. Are we going to be working for the prison, but under Branig? If so, that just means we'll have plenty of delivery opportunities, but we won't officially become guards or anything, right?" He hated asking questions, but better to ask and appear slow, than make assumptions and appear an imbecile later, as his mother always said.
"Oh! I have an idea!" Twig exclaims suddenly, "Zhernon and I could take a day off because we caught some kind of cold! Then when Branig isn't looking, we hide inside the boxes. I doubt that they leave those boxes wherever we put them. They might even take them farther into the prison. That would get the two of us on the inside!"
"Boxes? What boxes? Inside? Do we know exactly where the prisoner is? Maybe we just ask to see them. Guard included." Zhernon shrugged a little and pushed their plate off a bit.
"Frankly speaking, we can just walk in now. We have uniforms now so we may just try to blend in." She suggests, "You two can sneak in while Roland and I disguise ourselves. That way all of us can help each other."
Roland nodded. He lowered his voice, asking the group, "When do you think is a good time to try it? Tonight, or maybe with more guards coming and going, daytime might be better?"
"More shadows make sneaking easier, but i don't mind a good challenge." Twig says as she eyes the prison, shifting from foot to foot in anticipation. "Just say the word and I'll be gone."
Roland rubbed his chin. He could see the advantages of both options. Finally,
"I say we just go at night. I'm guessing that having Zhernon and Twig sneak around the prisoner cells is going to be even riskier than just walking in, and the less light, the better for that."
He cocked an eyebrow. "So then, if that's the majority preference... I suppose it's just a question of doing it now, or later?"
"I say later. Leave around midnight and bring the disguises. Change near there and then try our luck."" Tilsu says, "And let's think of a way to flag for help, I can temporarily have the lights dim out so you two can be harder to spot."

"We're not guards, just working for Branig." Tilsu answers.
"Oh! I have an idea!" Twig exclaims suddenly, "Zhernon and I could take a day off because we caught some kind of cold! Then when Branig isn't looking, we hide inside the boxes. I doubt that they leave those boxes wherever we put them. They might even take them farther into the prison. That would get the two of us on the inside!"
"Boxes? What boxes? Inside? Do we know exactly where the prisoner is? Maybe we just ask to see them. Guard included." Zhernon shrugged a little and pushed their plate off a bit.
(With uniforms you can blend in with the other guards)
"The boxes that we've been helping Branig with silly bird!" Twig giggles
"Frankly speaking, we can just walk in now. We have uniforms now so we may just try to blend in." She suggests, "You two can sneak in while Roland and I disguise ourselves. That way all of us can help each other."

Zhernon nodded a little, "Shifting guards good. Easier to walk in. Less suspicious."
(If everyone wants to wait for daytime them I will continue once everyone goes to bed after paying Kahpi)
"More shadows make sneaking easier, but i don't mind a good challenge." Twig says as she eyes the prison, shifting from foot to foot in anticipation. "Just say the word and I'll be gone."
"Nighttime shall also make it harder to see through our disguises, so I say night"
Roland rubbed his chin. He could see the advantages of both options. Finally,
"I say we just go at night. I'm guessing that having Zhernon and Twig sneak around the prisoner cells is going to be even riskier than just walking in, and the less light, the better for that."

"I say later. Leave around midnight and bring the disguises. Change near there and then try our luck."" Tilsu says, "And let's think of a way to flag for help, I can temporarily have the lights dim out so you two can be harder to spot."
"Is gate open or locked shut?" Zhernon wondered out loud.
“I also say later,” she looks at Zhernon. “That doesn’t matter! I can get in whether it’s locked or not!”
