	Solomon hid among the shadows of the second wall when Veronica quickly approached alone. It was difficult to see in the dark, but Solomon trusted Veronica not to have left the others stranded by the other wall and they would be making their way soon enough. The difference in condition between the first and second walls was obvious, with stones yet to be weathered from the elements for an extended period of time.

	Veronica wasted no time in scaling the wall. After she scanned a bit, she returned down along the outside. A simple request was had, and Solomon obliged. A strange guard with obvious signs of life barely observed. It was enough to make Veronica question it, and given her line of work was cause for some concern. Solomon’s formless body snaked across the edge of the wall. His path began to rise as he climbing the stonework until he followed the remaining distance to the guard from the parapet. True to what she said, a man was stood mostly motionless facing towards the inner wall’s main gate and manor entrance.

	From what Solomon could perceive, the figured offered no whispers of the dead. He was neither dead nor risen. As for his odd mannerisms, Solomon couldn’t put his finger on it. He wasn’t afflicted from what he could tell. His movements when he offered any didn’t suggest him to be under the influence of any disease that he knew about, but they were still odd to watch. If the guard was being manipulated by anything, it was out of Solomon’s expertise. But he could only observe so much form atop of the wall. In a form that was otherwise undetectable by any of the natural senses, Solomon approached the guard to get a better assessment. Not likely for anything to be different without fully inspecting the man and invading his personal space, Solomon went to discover as much as he could before quickly departing through the wall and to Veronica.

	Across the yard to the main gate of the outer wall, Athena followed Yvonne in. With the majority of combatants downed, her focus returned to the thug prepared to fire upon Yvonne as the mad blade dashed forward. The manor’s guard held his crossbow true and went to take aim at Yvonne. As Athena pushed forward, she focused on the guard closest to Yvonne. The crossbow in the thug’s hand would burst into purple flame. Athena would hope that would be enough to scare the man into dropping it, or at the very least ruin his aim. Should that succeed, the flame would jump from the crossbow to the tip of Athena’s spear, originating from the two pearls just below the tip of the spear. Hopefully then the light would distract the second guard into firing upon her rather than Yvonne. At least then, Athena had her shield prepared to block the incoming bolt.
