Seeing nothing, he moves to take a look down the longer wall when movement catches his eye. A form comes sailing through the air, sliding into the mud. An acolyte of Owbej, robes torn nearly to shreds and bloody, lays there. His mask slides off as he impacts the ground, and though his features are swollen from a severe beating, you can still recognize Thon.A very large man steps from the trash-filled alley from which Thon flew. A beast of a man in hide armor covered by stained and worn clothing, his face is misshapen from what were most likely multiple brawls without proper healing afterward. He sneers, smacking the end of his greatclub in his meaty hands. "You left something behind when you robbed my house and killed my kin." he growls. Despite the absence of robe and mask, the voice confirms what the imposing frame might have suggested: Tarkan has found you.[sblock=ooc]Surprise round. The party has initiative, but only Yoshiki can act this round, as everyone else is surprised.Elenka, Drev, and Quioan were all explicitly trying to make out sounds from inside, so in addition to lower rolls, I decided they took a penalty to notice Tarkan as if distracted.Audra would have made it, but the low-light penalty bumped her out.I've made guesses about placement based on fluff, but we can adjust within reason (no one's going to convince me they were across the alley and in perfect flanking position, for example. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> )[/sblock][gm]Yoshiki up[/gm]</blockquote>
