I'd never have thought of it as a way to get *into* a place though. Great idea. Eva, the heroine in DEFIANT, uses it to get her and her captors (one of whom is also the hero) past the bad guy's army. <br /><br />I agree entirely--Da Vinci in a romance novel is about perfect!http://kriskennedy.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341143449583496148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023502012874354637.post-35428098609990741222013-04-13T11:12:35.631-07:002013-04-13T11:12:35.631-07:00Of course!

I was specifically thinking about our recent visit to Athenry in Galway which has a somewhat unimpressive castle but did have the interesting element of allowing a leper colony within the city walls but not the Irish! So, you have the handy option of making heroine a leper (who will look closely at her?) accompanied by her ministering monk/hero. My details are fuzzy since I had a very sleepy toddler in tow but, I believe the leper colony was attached to the Dominicans but it could have been the Franscicans- they were both floating around.<br /><br />As to the hangglider... I was mostly thinking how awesome it would be if DaVinici made a drive through of a romance novel... :-)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963493181798474313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023502012874354637.post-3825187393533949112013-04-13T10:53:20.945-07:002013-04-13T10:53:20.945-07:00Becky,

Can I use it at need??? <br /><br />And your hang glider idea, well, all I can say is: what are you doing in my brain?!? :) I'm working on a medieval now where the characters are, umm, not adverse to whatever means necessary to get things done. ;)http://kriskennedy.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341143449583496148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023502012874354637.post-52514693812871116182013-04-13T08:46:18.036-07:002013-04-13T08:46:18.036-07:00Well, the pragmatist in me would go with one of th...Well, the pragmatist in me would go with one of the following:<br /><br />prostitute<br />about to deliver woman (although what do without a baby?)<br />traveling monk<br /><br />But, if it's going to be fictional anyway...<br /><br />I would vote for inventing the hang glider.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963493181798474313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023502012874354637.post-6714448825555996122013-04-11T20:18:44.965-07:002013-04-11T20:18:44.965-07:00Aztec~

Yes, let's not fling you over the parapets. <br /><br />That reminds of a scene in Marsha Canham's IN THE SHADOW OF MIDNIGHT, when the hero Eduard is contemplating how to get into Corfe Castle, and he begins mentally constructing an elaborate plan to fling himself over the castle walls, when he remembers the last guy who did something like that "had his brains crushed to berry juice." (my paraphrase) LOL<br /><br />I like the prostitute plan. You're right, though, you do run into some problems with follow-through. :) Still I think I could playact that more believably than I could the travelling minstrel plan. They'd be onto me after two strums on my lute. :)http://kriskennedy.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341143449583496148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023502012874354637.post-12170887799945497182013-04-11T17:52:54.892-07:002013-04-11T17:52:54.892-07:00I need in now?

No time to bribe, dig under or devise some incredibly complicated device to shoot myself over the walls and parapets?<br /><br />I like how Linda Howard did it in <i>Son of the Morning</i>: pretend to be a prostitute going in to earn some coin with/from the guards. <br /><br />Of course, the problem then is, how to make sure you don't deliver.<br /><br />(Hey, it's not just men who want to infiltrate enemy fortresses, you know?aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.com
