Hope they don’t vent too much. Against his better judgment Oliver nods Tatlock along with a tight and humorless grin, “Stay close. Not a peep. And do mind the furniture.”He nods gratefully at Fendric before looking quickly away, guilt flickering across his wrinkled face. He glances at the ceiling, Don't hold it against Fen, that he helped me in this. Oliver strains his ears to hear over the rustlings and pent up breath of the Company. He can’t hear a thing. It’s been too long. He takes a deep breath, checking and double checking the draw of his daggers and blades finally relaxing into a footpad’s trance. His shoulders slump a little and he rolls onto the balls of his feet. His eyes rove the room, searching out telltales that will save his hide or the others’ – vague reflections, rumpled curtains, closet doors ajar. He slinks into the next room listening for the tread of Nurthk’s invisible feet. A creaking splits the silence and Oliver freezes. He moves quickly.Glancing up the stairs he hears a slight shuffle of Nurthk’s feet on the flight down. His eyes widen and he urgently waves the others over, “We were to go upstairs first,” he speaks in a barely audible voice, “I’ll go on up.” He glances around the tense faces, “I need two of you come with me,” He noticeably skips meeting the eyes of the Paladins and Priests. And Tatlock’s as well. He glares insistently at Raven, Aerda and Nicollo.He holds up two fingers and quietly turns to climb the stairs, short swords drawn.OOC:Init: 20Listen: 14Spot: 9Move Silently: 22Hide: 24</blockquote>
