Nivek Stood along the edge of a roof top raised high above an underground drow city. He gazed down at the city from his perch, taking in the view of the city lights and layout. After a while he pulled out a parchment from his robes and examined it intently. He had been hired to assassinate a Female Cland Lord of an enemy clan to his contractor. Not his enemy though, he was clanless and found a living as a mercenary. This job, however, had a huge pay. Enough to buy living quarters in the upper-class residential district.
The target was fairly young, and had recently come into power after an unfortunate event took the life of the target's mother. It was crucial that he should strike soon before she became fully aquainted with her new position. Putting the parchment away, he stood up and lept off the roof, landing on another nearby roof top and continue running, leaping to other rooftops as he slowly came upon the citadel where his target resided in.
Getting past the outdoor sentries was easy. He didn't even need his magic to do anything. he found a window within reach and easily climbed up the wall and slipped inside it. inside was another story. Sentries were more alert and where accompanied buy small golems. Magic saw him past them with ease, however the closer he got to his target, the more heavily guarded area's became. The guard were becoming even more well equiped, some of the sentries even specialized in detecting magic activity. After much wandering around, he eventualy found a path into the bed chambers of his target by going in and out of windows and climbing up the walls.
Inside was dark as night. No one was in. The bed was empty, so his target must be out attending to political matters. He heard two characters outside the door. Not surprising that there were guards also guarding her room. Glad he didn't take the natural way in. He found a spot along the cieling that he could perch on and wait. His magic would conceal his presence for at least an hour more. If it took longer then that for her to return to her quarters, he would wait outside the window instead.
