Seeing as he was avoiding the front entrance he hadn't seen Judith enter into the building, though in his thought he probably wouldn't have anyway. He inhaled deeply before stashing any weapons he had on him where he was perched at the moment. 'Well... time to do or die' He thought to himself before making a running leap for the building, leaning it with ease and making almost no noise in the process. He exhaled afterwards, he knew for sure he was going to land with a thud.
If his luck was with him he knew where the king's quarters were and a few other important rooms that he might be located in, he remembered his parents going over maps of the town when the talk of peace existed. Walking along the edge of the roof he seemed to calculate what area he wanted to enter into. Finally settling on one he kicked in a back window before going though it and pausing there as he stayed crouched on the floor. He had tried to avoid as much noise as possible but there seemed to be no guards in his present location.
'Are they really that stupid?' He hardly knew the first few floors were crawling with them, and they probably thought that no one would be stupid enough to stick to the roof tops due to archers. He had to admit this was a stupid if not reckless plan. Though after he felt it was safe to move he noticed that the rooms and floor work had been changed. 'shit!' he thought as he stayed against the walls trying to check each corner before turning it.
The building only had three floors, and now he got to play the guessing game of where the hell he needed to be. 'This just turned into a long night' He thought to himself as he walked lightly. If he was discovered one of two things would happen, he could mange to get away and that wasn't likely with the floor plans changed up, or he'd be killed on sight. Both ideas sounded like the worse outcome possible for him. If he got a say in the matter he'd rather not be found out till he got to where the king was.
Though he was disrupted by his thoughts as he heard voices though he couldn't tell what room they were from and then a second set of voices were heard. These sounded like they were in the hallway. He had the thought that he could kill the guards to silence them, but that'd hardly solve anything. 'Tsk damn my luck' He said to himself as he stayed behind a corner hearing the voices growing closer and closer.
It seemed the voices came from a group of three guards making the rounds of the floors. He needed to confront them, if they walked upon him then they'd strike without a second thought. He waited a few more moments before he saw the tip of the guard's spear tip that was walking the furthest in front. He gave it a few more seconds to have time to grab the weapon near the blades end and free it from the guard probably trying to disable the guard in the process.
His heart was pounding he had to admit this was the most excitement he'd had in a long while knowing if he failed that was it. 'Now' He told himself as he quickly forced a hand out grabbing the end of the weapon and quickly stepping just enough to put strength behind the grab to flip the guard onto his back. The other two had already drawn their swords by this process as he held onto the spear and used it a few times to block the weapons. 'Geese this is damn cute.. ' He thought blocking the blows, a dark elf defensive fighting let alone against people who wanted nothing better then to run him through. The guard on the ground started to get up but he quickly solved that as he spun the weapon so the blunt end was downward and slammed it into his chest to wind him. "Stay down!" He growled at him returning his focus to the other two.
Backing around a corner he got the position he wanted as he flipped the weapon again forcing the blunt end towards the hand of the first one to cross the boundaries of the corner and jammed the pole into his hand forcing him to release the blade. In almost the same movement he jerked the pole upwards and then down upon the man's head. The last man quickly crossed the corner as well though by this time Rhyldrin had made his to put his back towards the direction he had been walking in before. At the least this way he could just turn and move forward once he was done.
The man charged forward but was quickly met in the stomach with the blunt end of the spear. Drawing the weapon back again he quickly slammed it against his stomach again and forced the man against the wall as the back of his head hit it. Though seeing as there was no blood he figured the guy would be ok.
Panting a bit after this he kept the weapon steady trying to get his breath back before speaking "damn.. that worked out a bit better then I could have hoped.. but what the hell do they teach you in combat school here!" He couldn't get over that he just took out three royal guards with the blunt end of a spear, let alone he wasn't even that skilled with a staff weapon. He stayed there a moment before tossing the weapon to the ground still getting the rest of his breath back.
