The mages choose infiltration, given access to the spiritual side of things is still rather restricted that would mean its time to get physical. Using Skye's ariel view point to make some best predictions they can fidn the part of the wall that gives them the best combination of time to get over with the most ability to keep out of view.
Can each of you make mew to str+atheltics rolls and dex+stealth+2 roll. Just a reminder you can use magic if you so wish to!

Combined usage in this post is 3 mana and 2 willpower. Each "Invisible to machines costs 1 mana and I used a will power on both of them. The last mana was spent on the Gain skill spell. Could not properly represent this in the Expendature part of the post so I have written the clarification up here, I assume this is due to only being able to spend 1 Willpower per turn. I am not under the impression we are in a turns currently but if i have made a mistake in doing this, then I apologise and please correct my mistake.
Something to the Arrow was making him uncomfortable, maybe it was the fact they were sneaking into a guarded area with high risk of trespassing related consequences or the fact that a spirit court was gathering on the site, maybe it was even the history of why they were here in the first place was getting to him. This was of course the site that multiple mages ran into trouble and one of them was already jailed for being here. He had to shake this from his mind and tried to focus on the next steps, over thinking here would be a huge hindrance in the operation.
Okay, we know there is camera's on site and we could also be running into trouble if we don't do something about my ability to stay quiet. Let's address that first, please let the spells hold.
The Arrow first drops his mage sight, it had served its purpose and his spell tolerance would be burdened with these new spells he wished to put into place. The Arrow made sure to put full effort into the casting this was too important not to.
Invisible to machines – failure
Fuck! Why is this spell not taking.... okay I have to give it one more try at least. The Arrow made sure to use the same effort he did last time, the desperation was amping up with each attempt.
Oh thank goodness that I finally got that in place. This would made anything we do so much harder. Okay calm now, time for the other preparation spell to help with the sneaking.
The Arrow moved to cast a spell to enhance his ability to sneak around the site, he was more confidence with Life spells and so he did not doubt himself with the next casting.
With the preparations in place now he was ready to move himself with Skye to try and breach the perimeter of the Sewer plant. Once a suitable place was found, he went and made his attempt to get in.

Blood boiling within her as she begins to draw in the floating symbols around her before starting to approach the wall, making certain no Sleeper would be around to hear her as she speaks in High Speech, certain the sharpness could be easily heard by her fellow arrow as the symbols shift into the patterns of a leopard upon her body and melting into her.
Shaking her head, hating this tainted expertise, feeling awful to have needed it to begin with, not denying its boons but resorting to it always felt awful.
Moving along with her fellow arrow ready to begin their move inside, grateful he had chosen to come with her voluntarily yet hating the dangers to be the next to potentially join Phoenyx would they fail, leaving their entire order vacant from the Consilia in times like these not something she wanted.
Forcing herself to hold back her supernally enhanced capabilities, not wanting to rely on them or risk their unraveling before they would get into a desperate situation to be needed yet feeling just a tad uncertain this would serve them well, that they wouldn´t get spotted in a second.
Skye holds back her enhanced dexterity, but uses her enhanced stealth from gain skill.

2 improv casts, harden mask, Invest pledgeYep no worries Asclepius, the trackers don't always allow us to spend the exact configurations of spending, good notes well done and just mark off the stuff you've spent in up coming posts until it's caught up
Both arrows work their will to boost their skills and in good tandem scale the outer wall keeping to the shadows and using knowledge of Skyes views of the patrols to keep to times that served their secrecy the best. Down the other side they drop neither having any serious obstacle as they hug the wall, keep low and keep to what shadows the flood lights do offer.
No shouts, no running, no alarm. The sweeping beams of the security torches do not deviate or waver. They have entered the site unknown to all and perhaps equally importantly unseen to any camera, or machines that would otherwise take note of their presence.
It will be tricky, staggered and require patience that would wreck the never of lesser people but bot hare arrows and both have worked in high pressure situations. But they have for the moment access to reach any building that takes their fancy.
One building closest to the interior carpark has the most of the visible pipes both metal and plastic feeding to and from it, the main place for processing waste.
the car park itself if they so wished to explore any of the vehicles parked there in.
The guarded on site energy and maintenance building.
The front guard post, built into the wall , the place any vehicle entering or leaving would need to pass.
And the communications and administration building, the site of the mass murder that sparked so much trouble.

With the Challenge of the wall overcome, now was the task of making their way inside. Patrols, lights and whatever on the other side of the Gauntlet could maybe make themselves appear on the material plane. However, thanks to the powers of magic, one hard aspect of this stealth mission was nullified, the cameras. The Arrow crouched as he waited to be joined by First talon Skye, she had seen the inside of the wall and he trusted in her instincts on matters of stealth.
Keeping silent, the Arrow waited for Skye to recover from her hop over the wall, while she did so he would observe options as to where they needed to go.
If the mission was a simple re-con and no solving of any problems, then get in and get out is the best plan of action. Unless any complications get in the way, we should just hit the nail on the head and go to the site of the problem right? If things go bad then we can hit up the car park to cause a distraction, to either slip in or slip out, hopefully unseen.
Once Skye was ready, the Arrow subtly pointed to the Communications and Administration building indicating that they should attempt to start there. He readied himself to move as quietly as he could, letting Skye lead the way as she had seen the patrols and where good places to sneak past guard placements were.

An aerial view had been golden to have sure but things could change in an instant, or just having been to far away for her to spot whilst up high.
Glancing towards her fellow arrow, he were the one who needed to say where to go, if this truly was a Spirit matter then best to locate the source, and scope that out as soon as possible hopefully that would conclude their task in a swift manner. And seemed like it would indeed be guiding them to where the death had occurred, hardly a surprise it would either be the source area or linked to it as she begins to make her way there whilst making sure to keep him in sight, and not try to let any attention be drawn to either of them.

2 improv casts, harden mask, Invest pledgeBoth mages now inside the walled perimeter stalk off from one pool of shadow to the next making use of cover where they can and having to risk open ground when they can't. But thanks to Skye's information from the rooftop and the skill of both arrows they can time such dashes to the moments of greatest advantage. Over the course of heart pounding minutes they edge their way closer and closer to the communications building, almost entirely dark now.
The dull gleam of the bare minimum light needed for whatever skeletal staff work through the dark hours of the night shows from behind a pair of Plexiglas doors. through which an abandoned reception area, desk, waiting chairs, potted plants awaits. Of course further ingress is possible from the reception their are a pair of doors labeled as toilets, a door in the far wall, a door behind reception and a set of double doors on the far left all made of the same plastic coated imitation wood. A good amount of it looks recently refurbished.
Now they have reached this point what is the mages next move?

Total mana spent on spells + 2 Willpower, Willpower expended for previous post, It seemed that Skye was following his suggestion of making their way to the communications and administration building. The Arrow figured that the incident, of the loss of mages, was perhaps because they had stumbled too close to something they were unaware of. His heart felt like it was going to jump out of his ribcage, with every moment of them sneaking across to the building, due to the stress of not wanting to be caught. Each step being met with growing panic that one misplaced glance or just a unexpected turn of the head, could be the moment that would reveal them and the alarm go up. Fortunately this was not the case, and another hurdle was over come for now, they would need to get back out after all.
Now, with the Arrows within the buildings reception area, was time to reassess the situation and consider where to move next. There are a lot of different places to go, logic would suggest that the door behind the desk leads to some document storage room for the admin clerks. Toilets located nearby which by all means could be a location that the spirts could, in fact, consider a good place to congregate. However if it is not there, then I would put my bets on the double doors leading to where the incident went. For now lets have a glance and see what lies on the other side of the gauntlet.
The Arrow chooses to look across the gauntlet to see if there are any clues of spirits moving about, to suggest where the suspected spirit court could be located.

Dexterity Ruling arcana improvised spell casting, Improvised ruling arcana, Improvised spells, Improvised spell of ruling arcana Gain skill spell, Self-healing, Improvised spells of ruling arcanaInching closer and closer, heart racing within her chest, sure escape at this point would not be to complex with some luck but this place had proven anything but lucky for the last ones that came here, and well probably not so much for the Sleepers here either considering the events that had transpired and lives that were lost.
Weaving through the shadows, just waiting for that one misstep from either of them, for that one guard to have their eyes open just when they did not want it, or that damn accidental light from something unexpected to completely foil their plans only to have it not come.
Moving herself into as secure of a position as she could find upon having reached their destination, surprised at how easy they had managed to get here but now though the question did they need to venture inside of there and if so where inside of it?
Looking first to her fellow arrow, motioning her head inward, shrugging as if not knowing, then looking over the various areas visible from their position before looking back to him with as questioning of a look as she could give with the current mask on. He had the spirit sight to see what might be going on and if they indeed should head inside here. The thought of getting inside, to make who knew how much noise and box themselves in without knowing where to go no that was not her idea of a wise move.
Assuming he would need a moment to take the look though as she begins to look over towards the door, making certain to stay away from where she would be able to be seen through the door should someone come out at this moment as she looks for a keycard or fob reader before seeing if the door could be opened. Keeping her motions slow, trying to keep any and all sounds to an absolute minimum, and keeping her body out of direct line from it as she attempts to open it just a fraction of an inch to see if they could indeed get inside to begin with.

2 improv casts, harden mask, Invest pledgeAsclepius switches his view pack across to view the shadow realm, they had not entered the great castle of muck and filth, no that seemed to be more synonymous with the processing buildings themselves. In fact the structure he sees in the shadow is vastly different, something he hadn't even taken full note of in last examination, maybe because the castle like structure had been so dominant and this had been both hidden i nits shadow and rather difficult to see itself.
The place is twisting darkness a shelter smaller in scale it would seem then the physical counter part, the construction a dark and waiting shadow easily over looked only one route progress forward, through what would be the double doors but here is a open corridor deeper into the darkness, the occasional light from flares of flaming gas going off behind him is all the light that penetrates the place, going down there wold be to forsake even that small fetid comfort.
Skye looks for scrutiny and finds both key card reader and psychical lock on the outer doors but neither is engaged, the doors open readily to anyone willing to try them. It would seem her guess that cracks appear in any system after enough time proved itself right here. She can determine the electric blue glow of screen lights coming from the far side of the double doors, and the door behind reception, small head height windows allow just enough to spill out to indicate active electronics beyond both.
