Evening arrives, and Kari is as good as her word. A tent has been set up at the edge of the tent city, in a spot close enough to the foothills and with enough cover that it is a viable escape path. Scouting was difficult, but the scouts overheard talk about 'the blasphemous child' being kept on the top floor of the ancient building. Visitors to the building are scrutinized a lot more than they are at the camp entrance...except during services, which are scheduled to start shortly.
Ector arrives just before the group is ready to move. "I saw the child. There's a window to the room on the top floor. The child is kept in a cage there - not Ancient construction, but might have been made in Lo. Two Stargazers in robes, and one Brute small enough to fit in the room if he is hunched over. They didn't look like they were planning to go to services."
Ector draws out a rough map in the dirt. Kari looks it over, and says, "There's a hill that may be in line to look inside that window. If I assemble my rifle and get up there, I could provide fire support. I wouldn't be able to stay long once I start firing - I'll draw every Stargazer in the area. Still, that's the type of fight I prefer."
There is a glow coming from inside the ground floor of the Holi Inn. Some of it is firelight from lanterns and similar sources, but there is also a pure white light that you would assume to be tech if the Stargazers didn't forbid such items. There is a large crowd being let in through a single entrance, so it will probably be another 10 or 15 minutes or so before the sermon begins.
