Zea strikes at the guard, trying to end the threat quickly. "This is bad... This is really, really bad..."
"The ones who went inside" At the shout Fhingle cowers. Motioning for Jarithe to come up to help him
Cassius casts Mage Armor.
"I don't have time for this, get lost!" the dottari shouts at Jarithe and Fhingle and storms inside.
The other one stabs his halberd at Zea again, wounding her seriously.
Zea swings back at the filthy dottari, trying to end this as fast as possible.
For that one dottari the fight is over, after Saul stabs him and Zea chops off his head. With Jarithe joining the fight, the chances have changed dramatically. Everything is covered in mist and the one standing dottari can't really see anymore.
Fhingle moves in through the Fog, hoping to find some of his friends.
Cassius tries to bash the stunned fellow's head in.
The single dottari who is still able to fight gets a bit pale. But there is no way out of this for him. He swings his weapon at Zea.
The one stunned gets wounded, but doesn't die from Cassius' attempt at murdering him.
Fhingle rushes into the room with the rest of his friends hoping to help out.
Cassius tries again!
Finally Cassius manages to kill the dottari. But the other one uses the opportunity to swing his Halberd at Cassius. But lucky for him the weapon is deflected by the mage armor.
Zea steps up close to the dottari so he'll have trouble using his reach weapon on her. Then she casts a spell and strikes at him twice!
But Zea's pretty unbalanced by seeing Cassius bash in the head of the other guard. These fellows aren't even necessarily evil... just doing their jobs...
Saul Stabs the dottari, but it will take even longer.
Zea feels too uncomfortable in front of that halberd to manage anything useful. Saul has better luck and Jarithe also gets a stab in. But that won't slow doen the dottari. Stepping towards Saul he attacks again. But he loses his nerve.
Fhingle lifts his mace into the Air, blessing those with him.
Zea nods in appreciation. "Thanks!" She slices at the guard again, trying to end him as soon as possible.
But she's no better than the dottari!
This battle is drawn out much too long. It is only a matter of time, until someone passing through the gate will notice that something is wrong. And everyone only denting the armor of the guy is not helping. Only Jarithe manages to get through with his spear.
Cassius tries to cast Sleep so that only the Dottari would be effected. [ooc]DC 16[/dice]
The guard falls asleep.
Saul prevents others of the group to wake the guard up again with their half-hearted attempts at killing someone, by doing it himself right the first time.
The tower has no luxury, but it has some spare weapons in a rack and some food on the table.
Fhingle helps to gather things up and leaves with Jarithe so they can keep up their ruse.
"What happened there? Maybe you could have walked out without a fight? We don't need to be killing guards during the day, someone could have saw us doing so." Fhingle almost scolds everyone.
Cassius shrugs. "Every dead devilf!++er is good progress."
Zea looks shaken back at the hideout. "I'm with Fhingle... That was bad... So risky..." She shakes her head wordlessly.

"Now listen, you lot. It's not like we had a lot of choice here. They marched us to this room, and they were about to take our weapons and seperate us. They for sure would have found my Jackdaw costume and that would have been the end us. So don't be giving us shit about it! Could have happened to any of you. It's exactly what we talked about earlier. We need a better spot to stick these costumes when we aren't using them, and coming from outside the city, well, I don't know if we have a choice other than carry them in. Maybe the answer is we never bring our costumes outside the city."
As Saul grouses and complains he is busy stuffing the potions and chainmail in his already stuffed bag. "We need a magic bag of holding. Maybe that is the solution to all of this, including our costumes. Guess we can't even take these halberds."
Saul takes one of the bows and slings it over his shoulder.
"Then we don't take them outside the city, we could have all been caught and that would have been bad."[/] Fhingle mulls over the magical back. [b]"Where are we going to get that? This city is working against us, we cannot just have Saul P.I who scrapes by toting around great magical items."

if the weapons are not marked with some city insignia Jarithe will sling a halberd over his shoulder as well as a bow and also will roll up a suit of chain mail and slide it in his backpack to help carry things.
hey I wasn't being hard on you, I was telling you we got lucky and we need to figure out a better way of doing this so we aren't taking as many risks. Lets get out of here
It is stuff that you can buy at your tengu friend's weapon shop too. Just normally no one but town guards us halberds. They are not really pocket friendly for everyday use.
Zea wonders about the idea of such a bag. "But it would probably be discovered as soon as it is opened, wouldn't it? It would be useful, definitely, but not if we were searched. What about a false-bottomed chest? My cousin was a smuggler and he hinted that he used something like that. It would have a chance to pass an inspection."
There are some peasants wondering why there is no one guarding the gate while they pass through it. And a merchant from out of town who seems to wait with his one horse cart, for a guard to appear.
Zea hisses "We shouldn't be seen leaving! Can we get a fog cloud to hide under?"
