Carfal laughs nervously. "A matter of seconds, if that, I'm afraid. Help me move her to a prone position and hold her fast, eh?" He calls above the din of the crowd to his allies, or anyone else who might be cooperative, "we've captured the assasin's collaborator! Someone bring rope to bind her!"

Logan the Healer
Greetings Lord, I am talhund Logan Glanderho. Logan bows slightly.
If You'll allow me, I can help with interrogation as can my friend here. Poitns to Grogan Grogan, keep protecting the lord and keep an eye on the woman. I'll go and see if assassin still lives.
Logan makes his way to fallen halfling.
Since we don't have a map:
If Logan passes near Kevin and Carfal on his way to Ghelt he suggests
Hit her over the head and knock her out, she'll be easier to manage. Logan gestures toward companions weapons and taps his warhammer. He then continues toward Ghelt.

>Grogan lets go of the bridle, slaps the horses flank in reassurance that everything is OK, and pulls his sword from the ground. He looks to Logan who he sees cast a healing spell and states "Attend to the fallen, especially the traitorous swine. Make sure they do not pass this world for the Dales have justice to dispense." He smiles at this thought, for if they do not dispense justice appropriately, that means he will.
>Grogan whistles again for his horse and is getting a little impatient for its lack of attention to his need of his manacles.
>He nods to Lord Ashchenon and says "Grogan of the Ebon Jaguar tribe at your service." as he looks scampers off to the closest of the fallen assassins.
"Pleased to, ah, make your..." the Lord says, then frowns as the half-orc heads off into the crowd in the direction of the fallen woman. He will reach her at the end of this round.
This is because the crowd, pressing around them, is breaking up and moving back the way they came, towards the north. The brilliantly-clad dwarf disappears into the crowd as they start to break up. Grogan's horse, seeing its master, angles towards where he is headed.
<Carfal now at Kevin's init>
>Garren stands where he is, bow still drawn, continuing to search the area for further threats.
He shouts to the nearest guardsman, It looks like there were only two. Get the lord to safety and interrogate the assassins to find out who put them up to it.
Suprisingly, the nearest guardsman nods and begins moving through the thinning crowd. "Adventurers," Garren thinks he hears under his breath. There's no additional
threats... except a small figure, winged, gliding in circles above the fray.

But Grogan has already left, heading to the group with the woman, as they shout orders at one another. The Lord looks at the returned Captain of the guards, who shakes his head and says, "Adventurers..."

They're a round's movement away, so Logan goes directly towards Ghelt. He doesn't find the thief, merely the looted and dead body of a halfling. The halfling's face is covered by a mask, with a kukiri outlined in silver thread around the area of the mouth.
<OOC: I'll have a much more detailed description of the areas from now on, now that I know how things map.>
>With the sudden conflict below seemingly winding down, the small maroon dragon continues to circle idly overhead while searching the local weave for magical auras. (Continuing to concentrate to determine the number, strength and school of all visible auras, Spellcraft +7)
Vorastrix gets all kinds; divination magic, abjurations, evocations, necromatic... then the "taste" of the magic comes to him, being in this town for a while, and he realizes that many in the crowd have purchased things from the Red Wizards in the town square...
>OOC: Looking back at the roof that the halfling sniper was on, does it appear that he left or dropped anything there before falling to the street below?
OOC: Nothing obvious from a Spot, he'll need to Search to make absolutely sure, though.
>Kevin begins hastily searching the woman for weapons, not knowing how long this enchantment lasts. "Nice spell, How long's it last?"
>Carfal laughs nervously. "A matter of seconds, if that, I'm afraid. Help me move her to a prone position and hold her fast, eh?" He calls above the din of the crowd to his allies, or anyone else who might be cooperative, "we've captured the assasin's collaborator! Someone bring rope to bind her!"
>"OH.." Kevin stops his search and pushes the Assassin over, putting his spear to her throat "This should make her think twice about moving. There's Rope in my pack."
Grogan is moving up, too, and the horse after him; Carfal can use the rope, or Grogan's manacles (which means Grogan will have the key) next round. Kevin seems sure the woman isn't going anywhere with a possible /coup de grace/ on her.

Grogan smiles as his horse comes about. He rummages through its saddlebags for a quick moment and not sure of the status of either assailant, drops to both Ghelt and Carfal a set of manacles appropriately sized for their downed opponents. After distributing the manacles, the barbarian redraws his sword and says "Lets clean this up people. Chain'em up and lets get to the interrogation part." He happily nods at the efficiency of it all.

OOC: Chessboard Map
OOC: FreeXenon, I'll give you a chance to change your post as necessary after this.
Image there's a chessboard, and each square is a 5-foot square. Imagine that you're looking at the chessboard from the south, so the far side of the board, that's north, south is close to you, east to the right, west to the left.
Standing here, looking as you are, you notice the squares have letters and numbers. Left to right (and west to east), are letters A through H. Vertically, closest to you is 1 and farthest is 8 (south is 1 and north is 8). That means the left column, bottom row is A1, and it corresponds to the southwest. Farthest away and farthest right is H8, and it corresponds to the northeast- get it?
Now, let's overlay the map over our scene. The road is pretty wide, taking up columns B thru G. The parade was going from row 8 towards row 1- below row 1 we're entering the Labrynth. The entrance to the Song and Sheep is at B2. The halfling sniper is now on the ground around H1. That's where Logan is. Ghelt is no longer anywhere to be seen. Grogan, Carfal, and Kevin are all now at B4, as is the /held/ woman. Garren is close, at B2 or B3. Lord Ashchenon and most of the guards are around F5 or F6. The crowd stretches from row 5 up through row 8, but they're all heading north. Vorastrix I figured was somewhere around G3, between 40 and 50 feet off the ground and between 10 and 20 feet above the sniper's rooftop.
In other words, Grogan's not chucking manacles across the street and behind the corner of a building, but can easily hand them to Carfal or Kevin. They could see what Garren is aiming at, if he warns them. Logan is at the SE corner of the map, around the corner of a building, and can't quickly warn the others of what he sees.
Does this help?

OOC: I'll assume for now that Grogan still decides to give us the manacles 
Carfal sketches a salute to Grogan, and proceeds to bind the woman's hands behind her back, and takes a firm grip on the chain. Leaning over to catch the captive's eye, he clears his throat and says, "Quite sorry about all this, but, well, you leave us precious little choice, you know?"

Logan searches
Arriving at the scene, Logan slows down examining the body (in case he is just drugged, acting or some such), although it's more of a confirmation. He is careful, though and his back are to the wall as he scans neaby buildings.
After he is fairly sure that no threat is imminent, he looks over the body and around it. Is there anything that could be clue as to the origin and/or affiliation of the halfling? Did Logan see before or knows the meaning of the mask?
Finally grabs the halfling by the scruff of his neck and carries him back to the rest of the group.
[sblock=OOC]All of this shouldn't take more then a minute if halfling is obviously dead (broken neck etc), even with short examination it shouldn't take over two minutes.[/sblock]

Kosj, still rather confused about the odd battle that just took place, glides gracefully to the spot from which the halfling archer tumbled down just moments ago. The small maroon dragon's talons clack lightly on the slate tiles of the rooftop as it lands delicately. Snaking its head around, Kosj examines the area with both magic and mundane means (Search -1, taking 20 if possible, detect magic) for clues as to the small man's identity or how he managed to climb up here in the first place, before peeking over the edge of the roof to the dwarf and halfling far below.
