Night's Embrace: Part 1--A Touch of Darkness

[Boddynock]

Now that they are both safely atop the crates, Kel uncovers the sunrod just a little, so that he can look around the warehouse. First order of the day is to find a safe, quiet way down from the top of these crates!

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Kel takes out the sunrod, scanning the room, where he sees many stacks of crates neatly arranged. Looking around, there are a few possibilities for getting down. Among them are climbing down the crate stack (not an easy proposition), dropping a rote down the crate stack to climb down, or jumping to nearby stacks until he gets to a non-broken windowsill near a corner and climbing down there against both walls, possibly with the rope.*

*Meanwhile, those on top hear some of the guards stirring about, and one of them calling to another:*

"Did you just see a light in that warehouse window?"

 

[Shayuri]

Sulannus freezes and bats her hands at the sunrod. "The light..." she hisses. "Put it away! Quickly!"

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Actually, Sulannus managed to miss the voices--technically Titus and Blunt are the ones who heard it )

 

[Legildur]

Blunt exclaims under his breath and tugs on the rope several times in an attempt to send some sort of warning signal.

Titus hunkers down as he sees Blunt tug the rope, and squints in the dark to see if he can make out another window he might break to cause a second distraction.

*Titus spots another window over on the other side of the street.*

*Titus spots another window over on the other side of the street.*

Titus hunkers down to keep covered, and gets as close to the other window as he can before letting loose with a sling bullet.

*Titus whirls his sling and fires a bullet at the window, deflecting off the frame with an audible crack but not shattering the window.*

"What was that?" one of the guards asks as they round the corner, shining their light around in such a way that even Sulannus and Kel are aware of their presence now and sheathe their light.

"Look down there, a sling bullet--I think someone is breaking windows with a slingshot to keep us running back and forth."

"Could be. I'm going to go get backup. You check out that light we saw."

 

[Shayuri]

"Spiderbites!" Sulannus curses under her breath. She nudges Kel. "We'll need someplace to hide...someplace good. That or a good explanation!"
