(OOC: Waiting to hear what, if anything, the others are doing about Kel's other request before resolving)
Staring down at Kel, it takes Sulannus a moment to realize what he's saying and why. Of course...a diversion. Still kneeling, she looks around, finally settling on the broad side of a warehouse a good block away. It was a bit dark and far, but she didn't need pinpoint accuracy. She just needed to hit glass.
An arrow speeds through the night with a soft whistle of air through feathers; whirring like a startled dove on a ballistic arc towards the warehouse windows.
(longbow +4 to hit, not sure of range or darkness mods, so I shan't roll unless you tell me.

*Sulannus shoots at a warehouse a block away, her elfsight allowing her to see her target fairly well. She manages to shatter the window, loudly.*
"Hey what? There, it came from over there," a guard calls out as there is the sound of several guards rushing to the warehouse where Sulannus had fired.
*Meanwhile, Kel is pulled up quickly to the rooftop, where he can hide. The guards notice the arrow-shattered window and begin to investigate, missing the broken window on this warehouse, at least for now.*

Kel keeps low and speaks softly to the others.
"Is there any way we can make it look as if that pane of glass is still unbroken? If so, I suggest we lie low until the guards have gone away again. If there isn't, a couple of us should climb down the rope into the warehouse and have a look around quickly."
"We really don't want to get into a fight with the guards - they're just doing their job, patrolling the area."
[sblock=Foreshadowed turn]If no-one can suggest a way to mask the damage, he'll climb down the rope and swing it inside, then climb down to the crates and jump across. With luck, he can reach some that aren't more than 20 feet high, and then climb down. Note: He is not prepared to risk serious injury (which in this case equates to 1d6) - particularly since everybody else is so far below par.[/sblock]

Kel listens to the monk's comments, then shakes his head.
"Sorry, Blunt. I disagree. If they find that broken window and search the warehouse, then they're likely to realize that it was an arrow that broke it. With no explanation for where the arrow came from, they'll be searching the area carefully. And if they find this broken window, then they'll be on top of us."
"I still think we either have to hide our tracks or else get in and out quickly."
"Of course, if we'd thought about it sooner, we could have had someone on the ground to lead them a merry chase, breaking windows all the way to the docks. But never mind - at least we've got rid of them for a while."

Titus Farrab, human ranger
Titus turns to Sulannus with a smile.
"Nice shot," he compliments her. "Wish I had your eyes for the night."
To Kel, he shrugs. "If I knew how to make things unbroken, I probably wouldn't be here now," he says enigmatically. "How big's the hole you made? Would I be able to fit my shoulders through it, or would we have to do more breaking?"
At the suggestion of leading the guards on a chase, the scruffy ranger smiles. "Well, we can try hitting a few other warehouses from the roof, though that might wind up pointing to us as in the center of it all. If we're lowering the rope anyway, some of us could drop down now, assuming the guards are still occupied."
He turns back to Sulannus, raising an eyebrow. "You up for a little roving mischief, milady?"

"We really shouldn't destroy more property of innocents," Shan says seriously. "We should just get in there quickly. If we do find some of the victims or the wizard we can explain to the guards when they find us. If we do not... I guess we won't need to linger there for long then."
"If we could hang something behind the window, it might camouflage it a while longer. If you think that would help I have a bedroll we could use if there's a way to hang it."

Kelloran says, "I agree with Shan. If we can't hide the window, then let's just get in and check it out. Now's the best time, while the guards are still distracted."
In response to Titus' question, Kel looks appraisingly at him, purses his lips, shakes his head and says, "Nope, I don't think you'd make it. Perhaps Sulannus and I should go in and look around. Maybe we'd be able to open the front door for you, then."
"We can't leave the rope hanging here - it'll be too obvious." And then he mutters to himself, "Besides, it's mine!"
"Blunt, you climbed up - do you think you could climb down again?"
