Sukri lurks around the landing at the top of the steps, dividing his time between fiddling with his mystery box and watching Eban.Downstairs in the living area, Libros settles in. From the location he has chosen, he can keep and eye on the front door, and Bayer as he comes and goes. In the basement Jan checks his flute one last time before wriggling into the most comfortable position he can find and attempting to get some sleep.Bayar is on his first turn around the front porch (such that it is, being little more than a small clear space in front of the house outside the door.) when something strikes the side of the house with a solid thud. Bayar knows that sound. He has heard it before. The memory is right there ... arrow strike. The second arrow slams into Bayar's shield. Bayar couldn't recall bringing it up to cover himself.* He didn't have time to ponder on it. The clearing explodes into life.Two dark shapes erupt from the trees down by where the stream enters the clearing. Barking and snarling they bowl across the clearing barking and snarling. Dogs of some description, but not any dog that Bayer has heard before. The cross the open space between the trees and the house at a fearful pace. Behind the two dogs four humanoid shapes follow. Three rush towards the house. The fourth pauses at the stream. Barking shouts and throaty roars fill the clearing. Roars that sound like defiance in any language.By the time Bayar has sized up the situation, the dogs are already preparing to launch themselves over the rickety fence. Its time to act.[sblock=OOC]I will leave up to each of you to interpret what you character does and doesn't know. Roughly, those inside would have heard the arrow bury itself in the side of the house, some barking followed by more shouting and barking like sounds. Those characters on the first (ground) and second floors can use a move action to find a window and look outside to see what is happening outside.Roll initiative. Let's battle![/sblock][sblock=*]The gnoll was so close to nailing Bayer with that second arrow. Saved by the shield.[/sblock]</blockquote>
