Insane Plans

by Nepheri

Isn't it wonderful when you make some great plan and then everything just goes smoothly as you achieve your goals? Picture that. Now, what we did was the exact opposite of that.
 
We started very carefully. Let's just study the Silent House from the outside. We'll come back tomorrow. But we found a basement door, so might as well open it, just to have a peek, right? And once inside, it would be silly not to check on the patients. Sure, we almost alerted a guard, but he went away and we remained stealthy. Then we found a guard blocking our way.
 
I was all for seeing what was behind the guard, and Dworik's plan seemed... acceptable. He lured the guard down to where Ellywick and I could ambush her. And that's when things started to go really wrong. I was supposed to get a pillowcase over the guard's head. Which she dodged. Ellywick was supposed to hit her pillowcase:ed head to knock her out, but the guard didn't go down. By the time Dworek had knocked her out, the guard has already screamed for her colleague. Who we then had to fight and knock out as well...
 
Running up to the top floor we, thankfully, found an unbarred broken window. I won't say out exit was elegant... But we made it out alive and without being arrested. But Ellywick and I should probably not show out faces anywhere near that place for quite a while...
 
Dworik is proving himself useful. And now he has something on us, as Ellywick and I were seen but he was wearing a disguise (side note: seeing a man with a big beard turn into a young girl is somehow extra disturbing...). I understand why Ellywick is still defensive, but I honestly trust this thief more than I trust Rupert. I would say more than Phennyr, but I'm not sure the firbolg is actually able to plan something as complex as treachery. Not everyone is Declan.
 
Lots of adventures, and what did we get for it? They have baths on the top floor, the knowledge that insane people might focus on things like 'water' and 'thorns' when writing, and that they think tying violent people up is a good idea. So, to recap: A temple is healing people for free and also helps run an asylum for those they can't heal. The asylum is run by a kind old man, and they provide plenty of entertainment for patients while being able to restrain the violent ones to protect everyone.
 
I really hope we're on the right side of this... I think I might need to spend some time in the morning in prayer...
