((Alrighty, so that would make the order: Krog, Brar, Hedwan, Chatrilon, Redithidoor and then Caine bringing up the rear.))
The small stairwell looks to go down at a steep incline before evening out an then turning, so that you can't see how far down it actually goes. But before you get very far in the tight corridor, something happens.
For all of you ahead of Chatrilon, you're unable to actually see anything, and instead only hear a sudden movement, and an almost silent echo of a sword being drawn.
Caine and Redithidoor, however, are able to see Chatrilon suddenly pivots around, his rapier drawing in the same flash of movement. But Caine has trouble seeing over the young Elf, and for a moment, is unsure of what is actually happening.
Then, though, all of you hear a sharp gasp from Redithidoor, and Caine sees the tip of Chatrilon's rapier pierce through the Elf's body. It is withdrawn in the same sudden movement, with Chatrilon spinning around again, a calm but cold expression on his face as he turns to Hedwan. There is barely any sound when Redithidoor's body collapses to the cobblestones at your feet.
((...yes, Initiative time. Krog 6. Hedwan 21. Brar 7. Cain 26. Chatrilon 16. Puts the order of actions at:
Caine, Hedwan, Chatrilon, Brar, and then Krog. Map is attached because of the tight space you're all in. So...actions?))
