Verrazzio looks at Autumn.
"Do you have a spell, bella donna, that can block the alley? If you do, this is simplissima itself. If you do not, then we indeed must split our forces three ways: a most delicate procedure for us to undertake.
With the guards I think we have little difficulty: two are zombies, which our most pious Sintius can repel; the other is a dog: the handling of which I suspect can be left to the capable hands of our druidic Autumn, as it is a child of nature.
If we can block the alleyway behind them, I can take anything left with Draco and Serpens, particularly if these two are able to support me in combat.
If we cannot, then I will try to block the alleyway behind them myself: that leaves them without fighter support and me by myself, feeling lonely.
Roof access should not be difficult: I counted a number of people there watching us: if they could climb there, I have no doubts you can as well. If assistance is needful, I have a rope and hook in my pack. Make sure you have ropes with you as well: if this goes badly for me, it may come to a chase and a running battle after all, and you will need to be in the street."
He sips his mead and makes a wry face.
"Peste! Next time I order the drinks. Any further questions, suggestions, or thoughts? Who's not clear on the plan?"
