Arrowhead slowly makes his way around the ship, being careful to make no noise by disturbing the water. As he goes he listens for chatter on deck. He goes around until he is under the pier. Once there he tries to find a vantage spot to look into the cave.

back at the hotel rose comes back at 230, shopping trip and both of them review the photos. Seeing as Arrowhead is running late, The web gets worried and drives out to the residence. He arrives at the manor house around 330, as Arrowhead is napping waiting for the tide. So the web sees the closed front gate and the fence that surrounds the property. The web will find areas to park his vehicle in the park or down the street. He does not see the Arrowcycle nor does he see Arrowhead.
Question one: what is the Web approach?
question two: is Rose with the Web?
Right now I am going to pause Arrowhead and if the Web catches up to Arrowhead then both of them can be where Arrowhead is currently at

John parked down the street. Rose was back at the motel.
((Can you describe the park? Is it a quiet, wooded place where I can change into the Web costume, or a busy/open place? Does the park extend to the shoreline?))

The Golden gate Park ( now called the Golden Gate recreational park) is a huge forest establishment. There would be places to stash a car and walk around without a park ranger of being suspicious. Also with the local restrooms and plenty of trees making the costume change should not be an issue. Granted this is during the week but there will be still park goers. After hours, when it is dark might be tough as the park would close most of the areas. The park definitely extends to the shoreline.
The web does find a place to stash his car and make his costume change easily. So what is his approach to the house

Once donning his Web uniform, John hid his regular clothes in his briefcase and stashed it under a bush that looked unique enough that John was confident he would know it again when he saw it ((he was even willing to break branches into a W-pattern on the north side of the bush to make it more unique; damage that someone not looking for it might not notice for what it was.))
Then The Web moved cautiously through the woods towards the cliffs, being careful not to run into park goers. Once he reached the cliffs, he wanted to scale down the side of it, then cross horizontally until he was behind the house, and then climb up. ((Hoping I can do all this just burning one stunt, but it depends on how sheer the cliff is...))

The web can easily make a hiding place for his clothes. After all Spider-man did this for years. The web scurries through the park and is not notices. He goes along the left side of the fence before hitting the cliff face. To he is right he hears the sound of big dogs barking in the yard. He gets to the cliff side and sees the stairs that descend down to the beach. He uses the cliff face and since this is not an ocean would find some handholds to climbs horizontally ( uses one stunt). He is now by the stairs that lead up to the back yard of the house and down to the beach where the beach is filling up as the tide is slowly changing. He sees the junk ship and some men walking around it. He also sees the sea cave as well. Oddly though he does not see Arrowhead. With the web keen investigating skills though he does see some faint muddy boot prints that come from down the stairs and then stop. The web would notice places in the cliff, maybe former outcroppings or an old bird nest where someone could hide. Briefly following them, he sees a man in one of those outcropping laying down.
( arrowhead you found a place earlier to camp and a good hiding place and as you are resting, your military instincts are awoken with the sound of movement on the cliff face. You then hear someone now on the stairs. Apparently the person has not noticed you yet. )

((That's one big bird nest!))
The Web was careful to stay out of direct line-of-sight of the boat. If the dogs are barking in the front yard, then he clambers up onto the lawn and sprints for the back of the house before the dogs can notice him. If the dogs are barking in the back yard, then he looks for the closest outcropping of rock he can hide himself behind.

(OOC wish i can insert map, the bird nest would be from an eagle)
So the web who scaled horizontally on the cliff face would end up on the stairs that would lead down to the beach. The stairs also go up to the back yard of a house and there is a gate connecting the back yard to the stairs. So when he looks at the the backyard he hears the dogs but does not see them. The web is also not in direct sight of the boat in the dock below.
Arrowhead looks up and sees the Web above him checking out the back yard. The web has not seen Arrowhead yet

The Web makes a bee line for the back door of the house, tries it to see if it's locked, and then tries to pick the lock if it is.

"What the blazes is the Web doing??" Arrowhead thought. He looked down at the boat to make sure he wasn't being observed. Satisfied, he headed up to keep track of the Web. If he sees him enter the house, Arrowhead will follow.

The web runs to the gate and unlocks it easily and makes his way to the back door. As he approaches it is not locked and opens it. He enters a dining room which has the drapes drown but could easily be opened to view the back yard. As he enters he sees a women dressed in a maid outfit. She looks and drops her dust rag and screams in Chinese, " help there is an intruder. Help guards, send in the dogs." ( the web does not understand what she said but the manor and her attitude the web can interpret what she is under duress
As Arrowhead enters the back yard seeing the web in the open doorway, Arrowhead hears the scream and understands the language.

((Well, that took a bad turn quickly!))
The Web sprints from the room, looking for stairs that go up, or an office on this floor, whichever he finds first. If he meets guards, he punches ((reminder: damage always triggers a 2 in 6 chance to disarm guns)).

"Blast!", the cry escapes Arrowhead's lips as he runs across the yard to the house's back door. "This is going sideways quick."
Arrowhead stands in the back door and looks for trouble.

At this point we will be probably in initiative. I think earlier combats I forgot the disarm rule. Anyway will need Arrowheads actions as this could change the Webs actions and we can proceed

LOL just saw Arrowheads post.....
The web init: 4 Arrowhead init: 6 The maid: 1 the unknown staff: 1
results: Arrowhead reacts first and moves up to the back doorway. Arrowhead sees the screaming maid and the dining room. The dining room has a pair of double doors heading ahead and a single door to the left. The web is next and before he makes his move his keen ears hears movement coming behind him. He spins briefly with a melee attack and he stops it seeing Arrowhead. This throws the Web's timing a bit but the Web can still complete his action
( does the web continue or alter)
