[QUOTE="Kelleris, post: 1832310, member: 19130"] The guard captain is seemingly flustered by the rapidity and vehemence of your denials, and a look of confusion passes briefly over his face. It is soon replaced by anger: "Look, I don't care what you [i]say[/i]. I've come to take you in and that's what's going to happen. Are you going to cooperate or must I order my men to fire?" As he says this, his confidence seems to come back, as though he was just remembering that [I]he[/I] has the upper hand here. The guards, meanwhile, have moved into somewhat better positions, crouched behind crates and with a bead on all of you. Each of you seem to have been picked out by one of the guards, with the exception of Adinal, who is clearly the least effective combatant of the group. (OOC: In this time (not just this one post), the guards have moved a bit - check the new map below. Also, I added some coordinates so you can tell me where you start and where you go more easily.) (Initiatives are as follows, if you aren't willing to go quietly (and I doubt you are): Illira 21 Kestral 13 Guards 11 Cagthail 7 Feiran 7 Captain 4 Narine 3 Adinal ? Everyone's basically got some kind of action readied, since everyone's pretty much expecting something unpleasant. Therefore, things will just proceed in initiative order as usual, once everyone bursts into action.) Adinal - [SPOILER]Dang! Natural 20 Sense Motive! Erm, anyway... From your vantage point on the stairs, you catch the nearest pair of guards throwing a quick glance back at their captain, a sign of discontent. They look like they still plan on following orders, however, with muscles tensed and crossbows held in unshaky hands. Still, in the confusion of battle this split between leader and led might be something you can take advantage of. Gah! And a 19 for Knowledge (local)! You are well aware from previous run-ins with the law that, assuming these are actual elite guards and not hired guns or a very clever illusionist, you suspect that they are perfectly willing to "accidentally" let you get away with just a little more persuasion. Elites know how good they are, and tend to act accordingly if they don't have a leader they trust a great deal.[/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
