Well now little miss. What do we have here?[color]

The thug glances lasciviously down the alley at the sound of the feminine voice, but the look of lust in his eyes is suddenly replaced with the beady glance of a trapped rat when he catches sight of the the rest of his group. It takes a moment for his simple mind to calculate the odds, but soon realizes he is outnumber....still he exudes a strange confidence.

Why don't you all bugger right off then? This doesn't concern you.

The other two thugs let the robed man slide to the ground and draw their short blades menacingly.

OOC: Val, Svexyn, and Marcus all immediately recognize the masquerade masks as the calling card of the Cauldron's most notorious Thieve's Guild, The Last Laugh


OOC: Will Save Fail


One of the bandits lets out a brief strangled cry as he is about to strike the robed man, grasping his head with both hands. When he looks up, his eyes have become inky and black. A small bit of drool runs down his chin and he manages to sputter.

You fools, you said we wouldn't have to kill anyone....easy money you said! We are ruined! DIIIIIIE

The Thug attacks his ally, catching him by Surprise.

OOC: If you have not rolled initiative, please do, and let me know your general plans. I will resolve actions generally in initiative order, but I may tweak things to make more sense from a narrative perspective, but I will never take initiative advantage away from you.

OOC: The thug tokens are difficult to see, I will replace them with circular tokens like your characters in the next map.

"Master, grant me your protection . . ." Val intones his quick prayer as he moves toward the thugs. Not hurrying, but putting himself in position and keeping his rapier between himself and the ruffians.

Caytis Maggerin, half-elf magus

Caytis adds his own dark smile as his quadrens glows faintly. He breathes forth the green vapor the others witnessed at the fort, which once again takes the shape of a shield at his hissing command before disappearing from sight. The half-elf crouches down, ready for the fight to come.

Immediately recognizing the masks, Svexyn looks to the rear, making sure this was not a trap. Spying where he is, the plan formulates as quickly as it can, as he looks to his right. If he only had enough time....

He acts quickly, wanting to take the fight to another level, literally, as he clambers to find the familiar hand holds and beams on the wooden structure to his right. He tries to jump onto each location, trying to make it to the rooftop....

OOC - Just now see that Acrobatics is NOT Climbing!!! I thought they had merged them into one skill, but I was mistaken. I will have to note this for future, and will see is he can 'jump' to the various levels of the building, trying to make it to the roof... Climb Check would only be +1 for a 10 if needed to change Acrobatics to Climb.

OOC: [MENTION=17100]Fangor the Fierce[/MENTION] Is your plan to vault onto the roof? I see your acrobatics roll, but not sure what your intention was.
 




Marcus walks forward, sword at the ready and scowl on his face. "Every thrice-cursed thing you Last Laugh bastards do is of concern to me. As I aim to put a stop to it." He raises his shield, cocking his arm behind it and partially obscured.
