While going through the mansion, Ashton decided to check the defence mechanisms that had been installed in place by the locals. The first thing that caught his attention was several watch towers that stood erected in the courtyard. Each tower had at least 2 snipers on the lookout for potential trouble.
On top of that, the walls around the mansion had been reinforced using technology as well as magic. No one should be able to make it past the walls without making an absurd amount of noise.
Even if they managed to do so, hundreds of remotely activated traps were also spread across the courtyard along with various tips of sensors, including heat and motion sensors. All this security should be able to hold off a small group of assassins.
