The House of Servilia- Rome, Italia
Early evening- March 14, 44 BC

Elizabeth and Lucius looked around for a good vantage point from which to watch the house without being noticed.

OOC,Both of you, please roll Hide. Even if you both fail, you still might not be noticed.

Lucius found a shadowy alleyway which had a good view of the front of Servilia's house, and he and Elizabeth ducked into it. Nobody was likely to spot them there, and anyone who noticed them would probably just assume they were lovers. They watched the house, and after about half an hour, the front gate opened. Cicero was the first to leave, his servant following close on his heels. The household slave shut the gate behind them, and the two of them started off down the street. It was now nearly sunset.

Lucius raised his eyebrows and wishpered to Elisabeth: "Look, it's Cicero. Do you think we should follow him? He could be be very important part of plot. Yeah, I think we should try our luck with him."

"I'm not so sure he was part of the conspiracy against Caesar," whispers Elizabeth back. "But I might be wrong. It's a long time since I read anything about the assassination. But if you think it would be worth following him, I'm happy to do that. It's always possible he might lead us to the Brotherhood."

Lucius nods in reverie. "Ok then, let's do it". Trying to keep reasonable distance, Lucius starts following Cicero an his slave.

Elizabeth nods, and follows Lucius quietly.

Lucius followed Cicero and his slave stealthily, with Elizabeth hanging back and following him so that she'd be less likely to be noticed, as she wouldn't actually be close enough to their quarry to alert them - nor within their range of vision. Cicero and his servant seemed none the wiser to their new shadow.

OOC,oops as well :lol:

"Look, Cicero is too much of a hurry. May be he is delaying for another meeting. We should not lost him, I hope he hasn't notice us," said Lucius quietly to Elisabeth. He continue to follow Cicero, trying to keep in shadows.

"I agree!" whispers Elizabeth back quietly. She follows Lucius as discreetly but efficiently as she can, trying not to let herself be noticed.

Lucius and Elizabeth discreetly followed Cicero and his servant through the streets to another house, where they went inside. It was still expensive, but not quite as luxurious as Servilia's house, which they had just left.

Lucius looks around, trying to remember whom this house belongs to, if he knew it. And, if not, looking for someone he could ask about it.

Know=50%,[dice]0[/dice] Rolling just in case, thinking Lucius might be familiar with this neighborhood

"I know this neighborhood, and this house - it belongs to Cicero' family." Said Lucius quietly, pointing to the house, wich Cicero has entered.
"It's possible, that he just lives here. But, something may be happening inside right now. I don't think it would be appropriate for us just to show up at threshold. So, I see only one way: I could try to sneak around, and spy a little." Lucius rub his head. "You stay here, in case I got in trouble or something. If Cicero or someone suspicious will leave house, whistle aloud. You can whistle, right?"
After saying all this to Elisabeth, Lucius approached the house, keeping the most innocent and unsuspicious guise he was able, but the same time he was thoroughly inspecting the house and environs for possibilities to sneak inside, or at least to look or listen through window.

"Yes I can whistle," says Elizabeth quietly, grinning. "Good luck!" She looks around for somewhere discreet to wait, while meanwhile keeping an eye on the house.

While Elizabeth looked for a place to wait, Lucius approached the house, which was surrounded by a ten foot high stone wall. A quick walk around the wall showed that it was unbroken except for the front gate through which Cicero had entered. The house did have an upper story that was visible beyond the wall with windows, but there was no light in them, and it was now getting dark outside. At least that would be beneficial for stealth.

OOC,[b]Elizabeth[/b], please roll Hide. [b]Lucius[/b], if you wish to scale the wall, please roll Climb.

Lucius, looked around to be shure that nobody watching him, and tried to climb the wall...

Climb=50%,[dice]0[/dice]

...but his hands slipped off the smooth stones, and he landed back on feet.

OOC,May I Push the roll?

Elizabeth found a partially concealed alcove nearby and slipped into it, then started to wait.

Lucius couldn't find any decent handholds or footholds, as the stone wall was very smooth. He tried for a little while, but he kept slipping down.

OOC,[b]Elizabeth[/b], please roll Luck. [b]Lucius[/b], this is 6th edition, so there is no pushing. However, how I'm handling this is similar to that rule. You may try to roll Climb again, but further attempts will take more time and may have more consequences for failure. If you do roll Climb again, please roll Sneak as well to see how much noise you make doing so.

Lucius made a deep breath, before he tried to climb the wall again...

Climb=50%,[dice]0[/dice]

Sneak=72%,[dice]1[/dice]

Elizabeth waited in the alcove. The street was deserted, and nobody came past her hiding place.

Lucius kept trying to scale the wall, but he still could not find purchase.

OOC,[b]Lucius[/b], if you want to keep trying, please roll Climb and Sneak again.

Lucius picked up some dust from ground and rub his palms. "May be now it won't be so slippery," muttered he to himself, and made another try to climb...

Climb,[dice]0[/dice]

Sneak,[dice]1[/dice]

OOC,Yeah, I knew - the dust [b]will [/b]work! :D
