The first thing Aiolos thought to do was find out how many guards were on the inside of the estate. So, he created a good amount fruitfly-like creatures that were given a simple directive; to enter the manor, count the number of different people it saw inside it, and return to Aiolos. Then, they were ordered to signal the number of guards in the building by lining up in the shape of a number.

"So there are at least 5 guards in there..." AIolos thought to himself. "That's at least seven guards to deal with, but I'll have to be ready for more. Additionally, I can't just kill them off since they're either in frequent contact with each other or some sort of overseer. If they were just contacting each other, I could attempt to bait them out and subdue them with my creatures. Can't make that assumption though..."

Aiolos kept thinking like this, considering the options before him. For the time being, he decided to observe the guards in the yard and see if they moved in any particular pattern.

Aiolos decided now was the time to act. Aiolos decided to create 10 of the gyrfalcon-like beings he had made at the bar last night and made some distance from the house to not be of suspicion. One of the ten "gyrfalcons" was given a specific order; to circle above the house and signal the other "gyrfalcons" to subdue the guard at the gate with a cry once the other guard was behind the house. Once that guard would be dealt with, they'd be sent to subdue the guard behind the house. The fruitfly-like creatures were ordered to observe and to notify Aiolos based on the results of the assault; if it had failed, they'd form an X, and if the plan had succeeded, they'd form a V.

Meanwhile, Aiolos attempted to act as naturally as possible to avoid arousing suspicion while still staying somewhere relatively close. Due to his connection to the gyrfalcons, he'd know if one was taken down, so he began preparing to make more just in case.

Too bad, the plan had failed. However, this did not mean Aiolos would give up. He’d learned quite a bit from this, after all. For one, the gyrfalcon-like beings he came up with we’re not sufficient in defeating a single armored and armed man. Additionally, he’d come up with a simple, yet effective manner of spying via his fruitfly-like creatures. Most importantly, however, he’d learned that a roundabout method would not work with Aiolos’ skill set; rather, he’d have to take the path of most resistance, taking out the guards before they had time to call for reinforcement.

An approach like this would require a lot more information, so he quickly recalled his remaining gyrfalcon-like creature and disassembled it.Then, he created a bunch of fruitfly-like beings and sent them to more accurately count the amount of guards within the area of the estate. They were ordered to give him a number when he returned. For the time being, however, Aiolos had to leave.

This left Aiolos with a question, though: where would he go from here?

He quickly remembered seeing something about bounty hunting at Brandenburg, so he decided to go there to investigate.

Aiolos arrived at 6:30PM at the Friechte Estate. From his position across the street, he could see well that there were three guards out in the yard.
