::::Rises to the commotion and begins to wander about listening intently. The Germans have lost another, that makes the fourth in three nights plus we lost one of our own. The numbers are dwindling. The German can't afford to be guarding anywhere but the castle now, perhaps there may be a way out after all. The need to inspect the perimeter is rising. The stream, the woods, other side of the castle. The Germans are scared, now is the time to disrupt.:::

Pioneer walks toward the compound gate and notes there are still no guards around, and none that he can see. He begins feverishly using the wire form the fence to slot open the padlock on the gate. Within minutes the mechanism releases, and the padlock opens. He pockets the open padlock and closes it within the warmth of his pocket.

"No more tunneling under the wire, we'll just walk out now and wait to see where the challenge comes from."

Pioneer pushes the gate open and waits for the sound of gunfire or shouting. There is none, and he steps through. Nonchalantly he moves around the wire and heads for the stream, unchallenged by werewolf or German.
