vs DC 20
While you do not notice any traps, magic, or alarms, you do notice that there is a person in the bed and that a rock has fallen from the three story high building in the center, right beside one of the guards.
The guard picks up the rock and seems to become more alert, making a quiet gesture to his companion and slowly starts back towards the wall you are on.
I motion towards the others that the guards are headed our way. And then I try to pick the lock on the window quietly.
"Eva what do you think... should I summon natures ally to distract the guards?....or too risky...." Mahkah whispers to Eva since she is close by
Eva nods at Mahkah and whispers "I think our best use right now is a distraction. We can let the other two do the actual thieving". Eva motions to the others to keep going as she makes her way around to the far side to get a distraction going. She turns invisible while darting across the open blocked section of wall.
stealth invisible = 10 + 4 + 20 = 34
stealth while out of view = 10 + 4 = 14
Mahkah begins casting summon natures ally to summon a stirge at (s,12)
Vreni will attempt to pick the lock again
whispered under Vreni's breath "F~*$ I hate locks. Sterling can you magic this f&!#ing b~@#+ of a window open?"
The guards continue inching forward, very alert but they don't seem to have eyes on you yet as there are buildings in the way. You do notice them talking to each other though.
You hear one of them mutter "Maybe the spotter got it wrong this time?"
"Just shut up and look." the other replies.
Eva looks at the building in front of her for easy accessible windows and occupants.
Sterling manages to undo the clasp on the window from the inside with mage hand and the window swings open. He thinks most of the light given off by the spell went unnoticed since they are behind the building. The man sleeping in the bed that is right under the window tosses about but otherwise seems fast asleep.
The three story building beside Eva has a one room third level with some sort of lavish furniture in it. The second floor windows show smaller broken up rooms, and the ground level is difficult to see into from your angle.
As the guards move forward again, G4 does not notice anyone as he is too close to the wall. G3 does however notice as Mahkah finished his spell and a stirge appears in S12 .
"There's two of them on the wall here!" G3 shouts. "Our spotter was right ha!"
on Vreni's turn she will jump into the room after sterling casts sleep on the man. She will quickly scan the room.
If there is someone else that they didn't notice she will promptly slit their throat otherwise she will start stuffing her bag with valuables in the room.
*if someone else is in the room*
*2 = 14
*if no one else is in the room
The strige moves and attach to G3
Mahkah will attack with his sling then move
The stirge flies over and lands on the guard, sinking its probiscus into his neck.
The guard yells and a sling stone hits him in the chest, thudding into his leather armor.
The more distant guards seem alerted now, and the other guard that was searching for you runs over but finds no way in to help his companion.
Both people sleeping in the bed, one you couldn't see easily before, are affected by your spell.
Vreni jumps through the window, and seeing no one other than the two that are slumbered, she looks around the room for stuff to steal.
The room has a closed wardrobe and a dresser with six drawers. On top of the dresser is a lock box. Also, the top two drawers of the dresser do not look useful for storing clothing, as they are too narrow.
Eva double moves back to her group realizing that she has nothing to distract the guards with.
G3 swings his shortsword at the stirge that is grappled to him.
As the stirge is slashes with the shortsword it becomes severely damaged.
During Vreni's turn she will grab the locked box and throw it in her backpack. Then she will open the narrow drawers and throw whatever is valuable in there into her bag as well.
Mahkah will move and attack G3 with the sling again
Mahkah's sling bullet will take the guard in the shoulder causing him to grunt in pain.
A shout of "You go I will watch the gate" can be heard from towards the front of the compound.
Guard 4 runs over to the wall while shouting "Let's just push this idiot off!". He gets to and climbs up the wall. When he gets to the top of the wall and glances around he notices Eva and Sterling and shouts "Oi, there's two trying to break into the Devaren house!"
Hearing all of the commotion outside Vreni starts filling her bag with loot.
Guards G3 and G4 both fall asleep, though G4 remains on the wall.
Guard G2 sprints over to the wall near Eva but doesn't start climbing yet.
Eva turns to the face the man who approached the wall and also casts sleep on him (DC 15 will)
If sleep works: "This guy is asleep. Vreni, you have a little more time if you really need it. I will keep watch on this side until you are out. Someone should keep watch on the other side and one should help Vreni"
If sleep does not work: "We need to get out of here now. We don't want to leave a dead body and we have already been seen." Eva says and climbs down the wall.
The guard G2 does not fall asleep.
"I don't see why we can't leave a dead body or five but fine we can cut our losses.
Vreni searches the sleeping tenants hands, ears and bedside tables for jewelry before she pops back out the window and over to the other side of the wall.
Guess it's time to leave
Mahkah starts heading back to base
As the group tries to leave, guard 4 remains asleep and guard 1 remains at the front gate.
An arrow comes down from the roof top of the three story building beside Sterling, hitting him in the ribs .
As the arrow hits him, Sterling casts sleep on guard 2, who falls unconscious. And Vreni escapes over the wall following Mahkah, bag of loot in hand.
Eva climbs down the wall and follows the others in their escape.
The spotter fires at Sterling again. Joel bleeds to negative hitpoints.
[ooc]Sterling needs a DC 11 fort save. He asked me to do it[/occ]
[ooc]Sterling is currently at -1 hp, having bleeding damage
Is waiting at headquarters for the group he is to join.
Leaving the combat zone down one member, the trio heads back to the safe house. On the way it is relatively easy to avoid the patrols as it is very early in the morning, only two or three bells past midnight.
Upon arriving back at the safe house the three group members leave the loot in a safe place and fall asleep for the night.
Around noon, the three are all woken from their beds by Castone, and asked to come to the living area.
In the living area, a new person is sitting in a chair. "I hope you have been working hard given how late your sleeping. This man here is Ravyn Faux, he is to be a new member of your group. Also, where has Sterling gotten to?" Castone asks.
"He didn't make it back last night. The idiot ran 100% the wrong way." Eva says mournfully. "Last we saw of him he was bleeding out on a wall just inside the aristocrat district... Does that guild mark disappear when you die?" Eva says with some more concern realizing the guards now have his body.
