Zach peers out of the door. He checks down the hall both ways. The door creeks open as he pushes his way fully through, and enters into the hall. Zach silently closes the door and runs swiftly down towards the closest window.
Okay have to do this, and quick.
He pulls himself out of the window and follows the hand hold of jutting out stones as he lowers himself down into the garden below. He crouches down staying around the height as the flowers and bushes around him, he was told the guards would not be around here at this time of night, but one can never be too sure. Zach slowly and silently makes his way out of the garden and towards the walls.
Almost out of here.
He continues on as he has, but he knows there will be guards here. Zach nervously continues on, thinking about the guards and searching the area the entire time. Looking left and looking right, checking up and behind him, Zach keeps going until he finds the spot on the wall. He knows it’s the spot, he can see the almost perfect stone “ladder” that Joss had been telling him about. Zach climbs. He climbs to the top but pauses as he checks the battlements. Once he knows he is clear he fully lifts himself to the top. He rushes to the other side and just jumps. Once his feet leave the stone below him, he gets scared and incredibly unsure.
What if he lied? Or they moved it?
Panic sets in until he looks to the ground, and finally sees it. The wagon full of hay that he was promised would be there. The sweet, sweet hay that he lands into feels to good, it almost makes him want to sleep then and there, but he knew he what he wanted to do tonight, and this hay was not going to stop him.
Now that he was outside the castle walls, he sprinted. He ran down the twisting alleys past the guild halls, and there it was. The harbor looked to beautiful on this clear starry night. He scanned the ships, it must be here. He walked up and down the docks looking for the ship. Joss had described it to him perfectly, a wonderful looking ship, it should be almost a giant compared to the rest.
He’s walking down the one of the longest docks when he sees them. The large ebony skinned bowmen pacing back and forth along the deck of the massive ship Joss really had described perfectly, and now was Zach’s chance. The archer either hadn’t seen him or just didn’t care about a young lad walking the docks, but he had turned his back to him right as Zach was walking to the dock lines. So confidently Zach grabs the dock lines and climbs his way to the boat using his hands and feet. Once at the top he hangs on the edge of the deck and peaks over. Once he stands on the deck he just looks in awe of the ships craftsmanship. He stands for too long though, and he hears a shout in a foreign tongue.

The run back to the castle was a blur. Zach couldn’t really remember how he got back only that his legs took him as fast as they could. He was bleeding. It must have been an arrow; the Summer Islanders were excellent with their bows. The guards saw him immediately, and Zach knew the punishment would be severe. They would take him to Maester Lymon, and Lymon would not be happy about this at all.
Results:
Zach improves his Stealth toward his next level.
