The Cambring house was a huge three-story wooden house which looked as if it had been built circa 1920 by someone nostalgic for the architecture popular among the wealthy of the Midwest.  It was set up on a high terrace with a walk in the middle of the lawn and a horseshoe-shaped curving driveway.  Three cars were parked in the driveway.  There were a dozen great oaks and several sycamores on the front lawn and many high bushes, beautifully trimmed, set in among the trees.  A high brick wall enclosed all but the front part of the property.

There were lights behind closed curtains in the first and second stories.  There was also a light in the second story of the garage, which he could partially see.  He walked on past the front of the house to the corner.  The brick wall ran along the sidewalk here.  Part way down the block was another driveway which led to the garage.  He stopped before the closed iron gates, which were locked on the inside.

It was possible that there were electronic detecting devices set on the grounds among the trees, but he would have to chance them.  Also, it would be well to find out now.

He doubted that this house was lived in by Red Orc.  Cambring must be one of Orc's underlings, probably far down in the hierarchy.  The Lord of Earth would be ensconced in a truly luxurious dwelling and behind walls which would guard him well.

He set his ring for flesh-piercing powers at up to two hundred feet and placed his knife between his teeth.  Instead of returning to the front, he went over the wall on the side of the house.  It was more difficult to enter here, but there was better cover.
