"Let's try to jump for it." Ada suggests to the group. "I know you are awesome Ryn, but a dozen could be too many for even you."
Guard the rear with me, Ryn. Ulfr suggests. Best case scenario: they come chasing after us. he adds with a wicked grin.
"What about our unconscious friend?" Marisa asks pointing to the woman they came for. "I doubt that she is in much state for climbing at the present."
Looking down at the unconscious woman Zev will shrug before hoisting her up over his shoulder.
Ada takes the lead. "Let's go." She heads toward the hole in the roof ready to climb down when the time is right.
"Works for me." Ryn says flashing Ada a self assured smile with athe nod, acknowledging the wisdom of her words, before sharing a wicked grin with Ulfr.
Ulfr hops down and turns to catch the sleeping crazy lady, assuming Zev doesn't want to jump with her.
Once everyone is down he takes up rearguard with Ryn and sincerely hopes they get caught.
Azura nimbly follows, bounces once, and does her best to keep up!
Once he sees Ulfe ready to catch her Zev slowly lowers beefier dropping her to the Skald before hopping down himself.

Ada looks down over the edge, and grins at Zev. Her foot slips and she falls tumbling down to the ground in a heap at Zev's feet.
"Ouch." If a blush showed on half-orc skin she would be blushing. That's what I get for trying to look cool for a cute guy.
Carefully following up and around the hole, Marisa cautiously looks for where her companions have placed their hands and feet, attempting to imitate them.
Zev smiles up when he sees Ada smiling at him but that expression is quickly replaced when she plummets off the roof. "Oh! Are you okay?!" he asks as he moves to help her up.

Perfect. They probably heard that. Ulfr thinks
"Just my pride I think." Ada allows Zev to help her up.
Bringing up the rear, Ryn slings her shield across her back with practiced ease as the flips off the roof, landing nimbly on her feet.
"Ah, glad you're not hurt then." he says to Ada as he helps her up.
At the sound of Ada half tumbling over and the others hopping down. The silence of the morning suddenly is broken by one of the two tougher lookingmen suddenly whistling out shrilly.
"Lookee here Trying to trick us and escape!"
He yelled drawing a studded wooden club and moving forward.
Azura calls back, "We have trouble on the way!" She starts humming again, to cast another sleep spell.
Ulfr turns to face the trouble and rests his great club on his shoulder. He looks at his club, then at the man's and bellows a laugh. Haven't bedded anyone interesting recently, have ya boy! His red fox companion yelps a comical little laugh.
Azura manages to keep herself from chuckling as she concentrates on finishing her spell.
The woman whom Zev described as a Calistrian moved forward her whip in hand.
"Give us Natalya and the Artifact and you can walk out of here alive."
She called out looking rather smug.
Some of the thugs with her hurried forward.
Round 1 intiatives remaining in order
Give us the pleasure of your company and you'll only walk out of here sore, beautiful! But it'll be a good sore. I can't promise the same for your boys though. Ulfr calls back. They ain't my type. I killed plenty of them back in Serpent's Run.
Saersha readied herself for the fight ahead. Much to her disappointment none of the thugs were close enough to try and cast a spell on so she decided to wait for now and see what happened.
Ada sighs. "More fighting. You know I left the Arena to get away from fighting. I hate patching people up. It gets boring after a while." She casts Bless on the party, and pulls out her longsword.
Zev side-eyes Ulfr before stepping up, readying himself for when the thugs fell upon them.
Smiling as she sees the impending battle, Ryn begins striding forward confidently, her flamboyant swagger, a signature in the arena challenging all comers.
oh, ya. Ulfr will also move forward. He's not going to let the front line get far.
The thugs all laughed at Ulfr's threat (wasnt directed at them no worries all rushing forward in excitement to get into the fray.
"Bíonn beannachtaí Nethys ar ár gcumas, d'fhéadfadh ár stailceanna a bheith fíor agus go bhfuil ár gcuid gluaiseachtaí cinnte."
"Blessings of Nethys be upon us, may our strikes be true and our movements be sure."
Focusing on the spell, Marisa keeps her quarterstaff in hand to defend herself as needed.
Azura launches her sleep spell at last.
Then she starts her eerie singing once more.
The woman snorts at your threat Ulfr, She is either made of sterner stuff or just oblivious to how dangerous you all might be. She advances forward drawing her whip out.
The whips sudden movement just flickers over the top of Ryn's shield catching her cheek. Both the thugs suddenly collapse to the ground snoring as the others rush around the corner.
Ada moves foward and flicks her whip at the bad guy who clearly got into too many blue berries this morning. She misses terribly.
"You dirty bi+<#!" Ryn growls as the whip cracks across her cheek. Eyes narrowing, the gladiatrix explodes forward into a run slamming her shield into the woman's face.
Taking in the gravity of all the possible foes around his eyes focus and Zev charges the thug moving in alongside the woman at Ryn.
Marisa takes up a defensive position next to Azura.
Ulfr waits until the bald thug is close. The red fox at his feet barks aggressively are the man, then Ulfr bellows a mighty roar and his club Whoooshes at his target's head!
As the gladiatrix explodes forward the thug beside her took a swing missing terribly. It was very clear he had been caught off guard at the speed of her movement torwards the client. Unfortunately for him he kept his eyes on her and was completely blindsided by Zev's charge the man's greatsword cutting in deeply. Somehow he was still alive, no doubt adrinilin keeping him on his feet.
The bald man grinned at you and your little fox his smirk even growing as you bellowed at him. he was a big man, and he brought his morning star up to deflect and parry the attack... you had the sastisfaction of watching his eyes get wide as your stroke blast right through he defenses clubbing him in the head. The sound of bones cracking were obvious in the air. He staggered back a few steps before he shook his head slightly doing his best to return the strike with his morningstar.
Much like the bald man the Thug you cut into snarled and after pushing your glade out of him tries to return the favor Zev. His wound along his side clearly is affecting him more than he realized as his return strike was short.
Ulfr takes the blow on the chest and laughs at the minor wound!
Mr. Foxy snarls and snaps!
The fox gets a good hold of the mans boot tugging and pulling hard.. but the thick leather keeps his ankle safe.
Moving a little to one side Saersha said a few words and then sent a glob of acid sailing in at one of the thugs. Her need to aim carefully looked like it might cause her spell to miss and she began to curse quietly under her breath.
