Back in the main foyer, the young dark-haired lady is getting slightly nervous over her escort taking his due time, and she informe Thistle that he must message her as soon as any of the guards seem to move towards the guard break room.
With their disguises sorted, Exa gestures back down the street toward the museum.
"Let's scope the outside just in case we need another way in or out rather than the front door," she suggests before padding off in the direction of the museum. She would walk as far around its perimeter as possible, eyes peeled for windows close enough to climb to, balconies near other buildings that could be leapt to, or other ways a sneaky tabaxi might be able to use to get into the museum. Or—perhaps more importantly—to get out in a hurry.
Mavilius carefully feels around the hidden door, no switches there. He looks around for a switch at eye level and finally finding an indentation. Sticking his finger into the indentation he pushed.
The door slid open with a grinding noise, and a waft of fresh air.
Exa wandered around the Museum's exterior, the ground floor had plenty of windows that could be teased open, above them are balconies that the Nobles liked to sit out on. She'd need to buy a grappling hook. If she were careful there was a way to climb up to the roof, but most of the handholds were difficult in the dark. She finds the loading dock doors, locked with both a key and what looked like a pressure trap. Being careful not to be seen she walks past the entrance and notes the pressure trap there right between the doors.
It must nearly be time for them all to met up at the Map room in the Temple of Mask.
Kyreth nods "You go that way, I'll go this way and we can compare what we find when we meet up. If we can't get all the way around, meet up back here." He sets off, strolling casually around, trying to look like a student enjoying a stroll, whilst looking for any possible ways in (or out).
Kyreth found a set of balconys adorned with ivy. It looked climbable and he can hear the voices of tourists from within, some of which came out on the balcony to chat and smoke a pipe. He hurried around the unremarkable side of the building with room for carriages of the nobles to park.

Mavilius quickly moved part of the way down the tunnel and managed to catch sight of the end, it was all green and birds singing was to be heard. There was no door just a gate that could be climbed over. This was an emergency exit...or entrance. Then he turned back to find Delilah
DM
Thistle didn't have a lot to report it had been hard to watch the positioning of the guards checkpoints through that many bodies. It was just a roving patrol and two set guard posts. Apparently the roving patrols would be around the second floor, 30 minutes between each patrol meeting up each time at the cafeteria. Maryam pulled the plan up and rolled it up, giving it to the waiting secretary. She told her guards to get ready and make sure their uniforms were gleaming, then led them to the door. Thistle frantically messaged Delilah as commanded.
The bard breathes a sigh of relief as he approaches Delilah and tells her in a hushed tone about the secret entrance/exit he found. "An excellent option for a quick getaway."
The young dark-haired lady is admittedly relieved to see her escort back out in the foyer, and as he speaks to her in a hushed tone she smiles and nods as if he told her a something entertaining. "Now, unless there was anything else you wanted to see?" Delilah says quietly with a confident smile, extending her arm slightly to allow the charming tiefling to escort her back to meet with the others.
Mavilius lets his tail flick thoughtfully, his eyes drifting toward the towering bones of the sea dragon one last time as if weighing unfinished curiosities—then he turns back to Delilah with a flourish, his smirk returning in full.
“No,” he says with mock gravity, sliding his arm through hers with elegant flair. “I believe I’ve seen all the wonders I can bear for one morning. We simply must go tell our companions what a lovely time we had.”
"It pleases me to hear you had a lovely time dear, and still the best is yet to come for our performer n´est-ce pas?" The young dark-haired lady says with an amused smile, ready to be escorted back to the rendez vous.
With the bell tolling the progression of the day and the quickly-approaching gala ball, Exa winds her way back through the city toward the map room. She walks lightly on the pads of her feet, bouncing with anticipation of the night ahead.
"This is almost the best part," she half whispers to Kyreth as they enter the map room. A broad grin shows her feline teeth.
Exa and Kyreth enter the Map room and find the table full of a cold buffet . Roast chicken, tubers, bread, cheese and newly made butter. A jug of sweet water sits there with 4 glasses. They had forgotten how hungry they were.
A time candle in a steel sconce burned on the wall.
More out of habit than actual suspicion, Exa takes a handful of the chicken and sniffs carefully at it. As long as it smells fine, she would take a large bite out of it, chewing it noisily.
"Agreed, this should keep us going for a while. I wonder what the others found out?" He notices Exa's caution but doesn't comment. He grabs a chunk of bread and slathers it in butter, before slicing a large piece of cheese.
"Do you think we should leave some food for them?" he asks jokingly.
Her stealth was so good that they didn't realise that she was there until she moved, her red eyes scanned them all. There is more food waiting if you need it, and some ale. I have a cask of Arnes best brew. Has your morning passed well?

Satisfied that she now had a few points of to get in if needed—and with a mental note to buy a grappling hook—Exa met back up with Kyreth.
"Excellent. Let's head back to the meeting point to see what the others found."

The tiefling takes a moment to look at where the door leads and then closes it, hurrying back upstairs to Delilah.
