The Shadow Over Costa Del Sol (Open)

[Demetri Malius]

Nealaphh seemed to pause for a moment, and Demetri realized that it was most likely that most primes should know what it was. He cursed himself for a moment, but he figured it would reveal too much about of a rookie. Demetri nodded along as the entity explained that the device was, and that Demetri could summon it himself if he wanted to, given that he had the power. As Nealaphh finished explaining and began to take his leave, the girl quickly let go of Demetri and rushed to his side. It seemed she would rather follow the shadow than him. Perhaps it was better, as Demetri could not guarantee the safety of the girl, and this may make his infiltration much easier. Nealaphh began to encourage the girl to summon items using her power, and Demetri began to step towards the door.

I shall depart in search of the devices you requested then. I'll contact you with any information I gather. Farewell to both of you

With that, Demetri gave a small wave as he exited through the door. He would have to trace his footsteps back through the market and towards the fort, and look for a weakness within it. He lifted his hood over his head and covered his face save for his eyes as made his way back into the market. With a new objective, he quickly made his way past the locals, avoiding guards when possible. Once through the buy market he began to make himself familiar with the side streets of Costa del Sol.

The streets was warm to the touch, each step of his foot wrappings quietly hitting the paved road covered in sand. Demetri hung close to the buildings and mapped out the area surrounding the fort. There were plenty of alleyways between the buildings, which served great for cover and hiding while bypassing patrols that protected the outer base. There seemed to be on entrance, the front gate, and the sturdy sandstone wall around it must stand at least 15 meters high. there were towers at each corner, reaching another 5 meters higher than the wall and provided a scouting position for any troops. It seemed that two troops stood at each tower, although they didn't seem to pay attention much, often bickering or discussion matters due to boredom. Occasionally some homeless local in rags would stumble upon the front gate, but quickly be shooed away by the guards. the guards themselves seemed to have a type of reinforced armor all over their body, most likely specialized in defending against weapons like their own. The joints would likely be the most vulnerable when in full armor, especially the neck. This would be a tough infiltration, among the toughest Demetri had done back in his home world, but he had no doubts that he could accomplish this task. Especially with his newfound powers. He decided that the best time to strike would be at night if he wanted to get in undetected. He then skulked in the alleys, avoiding detection as he waited for night to fall.
