Ak'kulula freezes for a moment while the older mercenary opens his eye and fixes on himself. Heart pounding, he draws on his mental training and forces himself to calm down. He waits patiently until the man had closed his eye and resumed his mild snoring, signifying his return to Dreamland.
Creeping down the wooden ladder functioning like a crude stairway, he surveys the situation downstairs with broad sweeps of his almond brown eyes.
It's now or never. May He who creates and sustains all things by His power, look with favor upon our efforts this night.The diminutive lad crawls halfways up the ladder and chances a swift sudden peek about the upper room, making sure none of the men are awake. He then steals down to the main hall, careful to keep in the shadows that are plentiful in the darkened building.
Picking up a machete or any weapon left carelessly about, Ak'kulula makes his way, quiet as a stalking panther, to a window at the back of the hall furthest from the guards. Dropping his stolen weapon outside in the soft wet grass, he climbs out quietly, landing in a crouch just under the window.
His eyes almost useless in the near complete darkness, Ak'kulula focuses his senses and sends them forth into the night, straining to detect any hint or sign that his escape had been noticed. Sensing nothing, he picks up the weapon and steals into the night, heading for the nearest clump of trees and undergrowth he had seen in the day.
Once there, the lad leaps up and begins climbing up the sturdiest tree, fully utilizing his heritage as one of the Great Apes of the jungle. Near the top of the tree, the lad cups his hand over his mouth and proceeds to imitate the call of the Barking Owl...
"Wowoooowoooowoooo! Wowoooowoooowoooo! Wowoooowoooowoooo!"He waits for several seconds and then makes the calls again, careful to keep the rhythm, timbre, and volume close to his 1st set of calls.
"Wowoooowoooowoooo! Wowoooowoooowoooo! Wowoooowoooowoooo!"Having given the agreed signal to his Companions, Ak'kulula grips his weapon and crouches comfortably in the tree to await the start of the attack. He keeps a close careful watch on the village main hall, and especially on the 2 guards standing sentry at the front entrance.
