OOC: Can the rest of the party see (and / or target) the archer above? Caytis has an atrocious Climb, but he's decent with a shortbow.
 


Caytis Maggerin, half-elf magus

"Well done, Wilbur!" Caytis congratulates the stranger from the jungle. "Who needs to stab enemies when they'll stab themselves?"

Seeing that the remaining melee thug is surrendering as he comes out of his fugue, but catching sight of the scuffle on the rooftop, Caytis decides that's where the bigger threat stands. He moves back a step from the thug on the ground, then drops his quadrens to draw his shortbow. As the four-pronged weapon falls, its glow shifts from the blade to the bow. Caytis takes careful aim, knowing the roof ledge makes the sniper a harder target. His care pays off, as the arrow sticks into the sniper's shoulder.

"You know what's good for you, you'll surrender like your friend!" he calls up.

Marcus levels his sword at the surrendering foe. "On the ground, hands behind your head. One of you bind him. Val, make sure the leader isn't dead. Nia, come with me. There's still one left." The swordsman takes off at a run, trying to follow the trail of blood left behind by the heavily-injured thug.

Should head 8 squares north with a double-move, as I can't Run through the guy surrendering.

Nia grimaces at Marcus' words and tone. For one, she had just the one attack spell prepared and she'd already used it. Her inclination now was to either withdraw, or switch to healing and support.

Not to mention, she didn't want these people getting into the habit of thinking they could boss her around. Ideally, the opposite was true.

But in this case, she'd heard some of the fight on the rooftop, and it didn't sound like it was going very well. That meant curatives might be needed. And that meant going with Marcus, even if not necessarily for the reason he had in mind.

Preserving face was one thing, but denying a man needed help because of pride was a step into the shadow, and Nia wasn't going there. She followed Marcus, fingers still clutching the sacred inscriptions she'd retrieved earlier.
 


OOC: The wall is 2 stories high. A player directly against the wall would receive partial concealment, forcing the shooter to lean over the edge to hit them.
