Carl walks close to Hildigrim, he leans in as the information about his family is conveyed, he commits the words and names to memory, the location locked away in his mind, hoping that he never needs to use this.  "Aye.  Will do.  But les not talk about tha.  We're gonna make it outta here.  We're gonna get the Lord Regent and we're gonna handle your matter as well.  Somehow.  Some way.  Jus haveta fine the right way.."  He keeps walking along, a serious, stern look on his face.  

He offers to Hildigrim as he looks at an approach, and also to Aleyd, "I can use magic to make myself or someone else fly... but I think that would make me a target.  Maybe a distraction?"

Auriel nods at Carl's words. "A distraction is the only way I can see us getting through that many people. But it has to be a big one to make enough of them go away.” He looks ahead toward the barricade blocking the passage into the courtyard, then adds, "But before that, we need to get a better view of what we're dealing with. Perhaps approaching under invisibility rather than flying?"

Like Hildigrim, he scans the area for any position that might provide cover, a place from which they could advance and gain a clearer view of what lies beyond the barricade.

Worried chatter and sounds of weeping prisoners from beyond the barricade accompany your discussion and provide some cover for noise.

The barricades are 4 feet high, consisting mainly of barrels and an occasional crate. There is a gate in the barricade of sufficient size to allow a wagon pass, designed to open inward and made of nailed-together planks and doors and barred shut by a number of the same heavy barrels that form the barricade. There is also a tall tree in the courtyard in front of the barricade, ablaze with autumn colors. 

Most of the buildings in the plaza are one story tall, their sloped roofs around ten feet above street level
