[QUOTE="Tormyr, post: 7425532, member: 6776887"] The heroes start to say that they don't know what is going on downstairs, but Shealis cuts them off and tells them to head downstairs. Meanwhile, D'buld watches as the rat shapeshifts into a raven and flies on top of one of the doors. He decides to just close the door and wait to find out what happens. The heroes and elvish spies come down the stairs to find the badgers surrounding a the raven and trying to get to it. Shealis doesn't hesitate and blasts the raven squarely with a [I]fire bolt[/I]. Everyone does a double-take as the raven is unaffected by the blast. Several others fire arrows which do minimal damage. The raven goes [I]invisible[/I], and Shealis shouts, "Kill it! Protect the case!" as she feels a flutter of wind go up the stairs past her. The elves head up and train weapons and magic on the case on the floor, waiting for any movement. Torrent runs up stairs and jumps on the case, and then freaks out a little as she realizes everyone is pointing weapons at her. There is a scuffling sound a few feet away, and everyone fires in the direction of the sound. An imp appears and falls to the ground, dead. After a few moments it dissolves into a puff of fire. Some quick talking on the part of the heroes convinces the elves that the imp was not with them. Shealis lets them try to open the case, and Dro'marri manages to crack it open with a hammer and chisel. Inside is a large book written in Infernal. Byron takes a look, but the words are nonsense, and he realizes that it must be all written in code. Shealis allows them to copy five pages and gives them the name of a contact in Calanis that they can contact for more information. With a "something is better than nothing" philosophy, the heroes leave the safe house. They decide that they should go see council member Erdan Menash. He has been vocal about resistance against Ragesia and may help them escape the city. On the way, they realize they are being tailed. They wait for their tail to catch up, and a bunch of city guard approach them, demanding that they come in for questioning. The heroes refuse and walk away while the guard follows from a distance. Eventually, they realize several of the guard have disappeared. After a few minutes, the missing guards appear from a side alley and step out in front of them. After a quick quip that the heroes should have come quietly, they attack. At this point, the heroes have been awake for almost 30 hours with a few hours of sleep here and there. As the guards move in to attack, the heroes realize that these are more Black Horse mercenaries, and they are outnumbered. As they start taking hits, a figure jumps down from the balcony. He lands and says, "Well hello! It looks like you are in a bit of trouble. May I help?" as he pulls out his greatsword. [/QUOTE]
