[This is a walled garden courtyard. There's a tea table with a pot of tea and a bowl of lightly sugared strawberries on it in the middle of the garden. Closer to the outer wall is a Tyki with a pot of coffee and a rope attached to a grappling hook.]
[Next to him are the remains of three ladders and a trellis.]
[The wall he's facing, as he drinks his coffee and looks from the wall to the hook in his hands, is unblemished and unremarkable. Maybe twice his height and made of stone. There are plenty of handholds, and it doesn't look at all difficult to scale, and yet.]
[He takes another chug of coffee, puts the pot down, and starts swinging the rope, tossing the grapple and tugging to make sure it has caught securely to the top of the wall.]
