The conspirators were notified that the plan was underway. A series of carefully planned and subtle changes took place in the city above over the next few days, most notably within the castle of the city's royal family. Guard patrol routes were changed slighty allowing gaps where a skilled person might infiltrate deep into the living areas of the keep. She silently slipped in and out of the castle entries utilizing those timed durations between the guards routes. Her route was well planned and timing would still be critical to keep her out of sight. In this way no one would suspect that the changes were deliberately made to allow entry. She was however the leader of the citys skilled guild of thieves and a true believer in She who dwelled below. Her target tonight was not jewels or gold, but the King himself. Finally she reached her destination outside the Kings dining room where he always had a goblet of wine before retiring for the night. The King was already within examining the report of the days event within the city as he waited for his servant. A servant who had been secretly waiting for the plan to unfold for many months in the King's service. Hidden behind the lush velvet curtains the guild master smiled as the young girl approached. Producing two vials, the thief quickly poured one into the other, swirling the contents quickly. The servant paused at the entryway slowly drawing back the curtain as the Kings wine received a strong dose from the flask. With that the thief quickly turned and started her escape from the palace. The King took the cup, thanking the servant who told him good night and turned and left. Moments later the King felt the fluid within him start to take effect. It was a powerful paralytic that paralyzed the tissues it touched for several minutes. Unable to command the muscles in his torso, he could not draw breath and slumped forward onto the table. **Thanks for viewing and Thanks to GG for the Indian dancer character**
