The large half-orc dissapears quickly in the dark. Moving silently and along the wall like a large feline. (move sil 8+9, hide 13+9). He walks straight for about 100 feet and reaches an intersection. He sees a dim light coming from the right tunnel. The armor are now echoing loudly in the sewer's tunnel.
A quick quick look around the corner reveals two militians patrolling the area with a large dog on their side. The dog is leached with a chain by the one on the right. The other militian is holding a lantern. Both are also holding their spear in their right hand. The dog is sniffing the ground, like if it was trying to find or track a smell. The two militian seems alert and are actively looking around.
Benefiting of the shadow Solomon wasn't detected.

The two small humanoid looks at Jath as he praises them. They look at each other strangely.
But when Jath mounts back on his horse and head for the village, the small humanoid mumbles something to his compagnion. He then shouts at Jath getting away. "Zou did ze right ting, stranzer" They then both continue their round in the forest.

Xavier initially doesn't feel any evil. The commander refuses to leave Xavier alone ordering the other troop farther away to get ready to charge at anything getting out of the wood and ordering the soldier near the corpse to regroup around them. "Indeed this seems to be a trap. I am a soldier of Mergovie, I've sworn to protect my country and the nobility.
She draws her large bastard sword and looks at him straight in the eyes. "They will have to kill me first, if they want you.
Karn draw his crossbow and knock a quarrel."You can count on me Xavier, our lives will be very expensive.
The other three soldier also draw their sword, obviously motivated by his earlier speech and are also ready to die to protect him.
The captain leading the rest of the soldier lift his sword in the air ready to order a charge on the unknown opponent.
The fog quickly fills up the area, and Xavier finally senses evil all around him. A second later a shower of arrows fall on the group.
Xavier can feel an arrow or two buzz nearby but none hit him. His horse receives an arrow on the upper part of her right leg. (dmg 5) the warhorse used to battle injury barely moves on the impact.
Through out all the sounds of pain and suffering from the soldier and horses he can hear a powerfull female voice shouting on his right. "Make sure to bring the gifted one alive" He feels a strong evil aura emanating from that direction.
Xavier can't see farther then a few feet in front of him so he can assess the casualty from the first wave of attack.
