J. Alexander's Four Lands Part 2, redux

[J. Alexander]

The Streets

Walking back to their quarters......Angelo stumbles briefly but recovrers.

For Angelo
[sblock]Angelo tries to commuincate with the wolf and is rocked by a blinding headache causing him to stumble briefly.....a picture then forms in his mind of the wolf laying on the bed next to the man half asleep... a sleepy voice says..."Where must we go"....

Opening the links to his own bonded companions...Bodie reports that the smoke is intensfying along the river district and that winds are picking up from the north......Cat simple reports that all is more or less quite....[/sblock]

Tetsu

His awareness supercharged by adrenaline, Tetsu scans the street and environment as the small party makes its way throught the throng.

Spot Check (1d20+8=28)

"Our friend Friken Fraken is following us, along with a gang of roughnecks large enough to give us a run for our money, if not to take care of us handily. And it's gonna rain."

Angelo

For the DM [sblock]Angelo quickly sends back to the wolf, "To see the Cardinal Archbishop. The city is torn by fire and roughians in the streets."[/sblock]

"Lovely, I knew we'd be seeing him again. Where is his band?"

OOC: Can I get a tactical idea of the situation? How far away are Fraken's men? What are the nearby buildings like? What sort of others are on the streets nearby? I'm ploting some mischief and I need some facts.

TActical

Farken and a band of five or six are shadowing the party some 30 to 35 feet behind them.... Another band of four ruffians is moving along with the party perhaps 20 so so feet ahead of them and to the right. The third band of perhaps 8 appears to be moving parrell to the party along the left alleyway.....glimpses of them can be seen at ever side alley.

The street itself is about 15 feet wide.....with 5 foot sidewalk to either side....about every 50 feet is a side alley giving access to the parrelll alleys..the building are designed in typical row fashion with two or three building being in each 50 foot section...most are three stories high with steep slanted slate roofs.

Angelo Human Mage

Angelo steps the shadowy edge of a building and takes a moment to adjust his cloak and quiver for comfort, he hums a tune as if he hasn't a care in the world.

For the DM [sblock]Under the cover of his cloak Angelo casts unseen servant. He slips out three crossbow bolts and gives them to the servant. His instructions to the servant are to wait until they move off a few feet and then take the bolts down the alley, and up on to a row of buildings across from the group parallelling us on the next block. He is to throw the bolts down near the group one at a time a few seconds apart from different successive roof tops. The servant can't really use them effectively, but instead Angelo just wants to create the impression that the there is a group of crossbowmen attacking the distant group. Hopefully, Fraken and company will not be aware of this due to the interposed buildings. If Angelo gets a chance to use Mage Hand to knock down a loose tile or bit of masonry to increase the apparance that men are on the roof he will.[/sblock]

To his companions he will says softly, "Can we rush the group ahead and try to disable them quickly and then try to lose Fraken and company?"

Angelo

"Let's go forward shouting 'make way, fire brigade, make way,' then they should let us pass, if they give us trouble we'll be justified in clearing our own path."
