[X] A more brilliant plan? (Custom)

---

"Rather then fighting or sneaking inside, why don't we try a more diplomatic approach?"

"Do explain," says Alice.

"We should go there at night," says Grimnír. "Vampires are more active at that time, I believe. It may be in our best interest to speak to them when they aren't irritable or asleep."

He takes a deep breath before continuing.

"This is just a rough idea of what I have in mind," he says. "We should enter through the front gate and try to get the gateguard to let us through. Hopefully, we can get inside without the use of force. Once in, we can ask to meet with the vampires. I don't see any reason to hide our purpose, so we can probably tell them the truth. And we can try to offer something in return. There must be something that we can trade in exchange for the blood sample."

"..."

"What do you think?" says Grimnír. "It won't hurt to try, and we can always find another way if this fails."

Alice pauses for a few minutes, clearly in deep thought. She finishes her grilled lamprey as she thinks. After a drink, she turns back at him with a serious expression upon her face.

"We can try it," she says finally. "In fact, the magician who lives there is an acquaintance of mine. Perhaps she can be of some help."

Grimnír nods encouragingly. It is best that they avoid violence, if at all possible.

"But I don't think we should wait until nightfall," says Alice. "I'm sure that the vampire brat will make an unreasonable request, at best. We will need time to satisfy that request, if at all possible. Time we don't have."

He pauses to think. Time is of the essence.
