Kirk reaches for his Mandolin instead of his Halfling Sling Staff.
I have learned something about myself since last most of you have seen me.
Meridian laughs affectionately at Jerax's embarassment, I do so enjoy getting that exasperated look from him, and follows him to the wall.
Meridian gladly accepts the guidance offered by Alicia and the helping.
Though she is not entirely sneaky, she does climb over the wall with surprising ease. Though she curses softly as she and Alicia alert the dogs to their presence.
Ileosa slipped through along with the group something fair till Alicia fell.
She pulled herself up onto the wall next to Kirk and crossed her legs. "Well dogs shouldn't be too much of a problem, after all we've dealt with vegepymies." She said.
"But as any rogue will tell you, the best capers are the ones where nobody knows you were there," Jerax said with an irritated tone. but relents.
"Of well, we had a fool's chance of making it all in without being noticed."
The tiefling chuckles and exclaims, "Alright, me f#<kos! Plan B, it is! as Jerax unhooks his battleaxe and shield, pointing toward the house.
There is a 10' gap between the wall and the tannery. You are in what looks like the dog run. There is a large dog door built into the wall just a few feet ahead. The dog comes racing around the corner near the turn to the front door. It is about 15' away from you. You can hear Cimri working the lock on the front gate, this unpleasant distraction might have saved her some trouble, but it needs to be dealt with quickly and quietly.

Judging from with direction the dogs are coming from, Jerax attacks the first dog within reach of the group.
Knowing that her Ranged attacks will draw the eye of anyone able to see as they light up the night, she draws her mace and waits for the dog to come closer. If possible she will move into a flanking position with Jerax.
On his turn Kirk begins to play an aggressive tune, that could only come from Asmodeus, inspiring courage in his allies till his next turn.
All players receive +1 to hit and do damage and +1 morale bonus vs fear.

Jerax tries to get Kirk's attention as quickly as he can.
Jerax immediately stops any aggressive behavior, putting a stray finger to his lips, making a 'shushing' expression with his face, hoping the halfing will stop his performance.GODSDAMMIT! We are trying to at least ATTEMPTING to do the caper with Stealth. He's gonna bring all the guards to us, if the dogs haven't done so already!!!!

You hear movement from inside the tannery and people calling out"Abbie? What is it girl? Something out there?"
Kirk gets a sheepish look on his face and just decides to get out of the way this round. He pulls out his Halfling Sling Staff.

You hear movement from inside the tannery and people calling out"Abbie? What is it girl? Something out there?"
With Meridian, the poor pup dies.
Ileosa looks to her halfing slave. "Don't worry Kirk I like your music." She tells him before looking back to the main group, hearing the sound of people headed their way. "I have an idea... but I wonder if they'd believe me."
"We are supposed to be sneaky, I thought. Let us not be here when those people get here." Meridian will try to slip through the dog door to put concealment between her and the approaching people.
Ileosa dropped down the the wall and looked at her allies. "If this is going to work I need Kirk, Izrail, and Jerax to come with me. Jerax, Izrail keep your weapons drawn, Kirk you're going to do most of the talking. I need you to sell the story that this dog tried to attack me, thus my bodyguards," She pointed to Izrail and Jerax. "Killed it to defend me, after all it is illegal to attack one of Asmodeus's church." She smirked. Then she looked to the others. "Do you best to hide, if this goes well the four of us will be escorted inside for business deals, oh by the way Kirk we're here to form a contract with this tannery and the church saying we'll only buy our leather from this tannery. But this leaves time for the rest of you to get in unhindered." Ileosa said with a smirk.
"I have an idea... but I wonder if they'd believe me."
It's all going to the Abyss! Jerax looks to the warpriest, "If you have a plan, go for it! We lost the element of surprise! Maybe gorgonshitting will work?"
"And I'm doing...?" Margaletta asks.
"You are going with Meri and Alicia. You can be far more quiet than Jerax and Izrail. Not to mention you can throw a punch, thus you'd be better off with them in case they get into trouble." Ileosa explained.
"I can throw a person, too," she points out.
i said i was not good at sneaking Alicia hisses.

"..or climbing or being quiet, but who's counting", added Jerax out of the corner of his mouth.
Kirk bows to Ileosa.
I will do as my Mistress commands. Please know that if all else fails, I have learned a spell that puts others to sleep.
Cimri has not been able to disable the lock yet, but all the other elements seem to work. You notice though that even if the lock is disabled, there is a board on the inside of the gate that will also have to be removed.
Alicia looks chasen ar jerax comments, and stays silent. Still, her time would come.
Cimri has not been able to disable the lock yet, but all the other elements seem to work. You notice though that even if the lock is disabled, there is a board on the inside of the gate that will also have to be removed.
Kirk stays where he is and moistens his lips. He does some random stretches knowing he will need to channel his inner Shakespeare in a minute.
Sister Margaletta removes the plank of wood acting as a brace on the gate and Cimri is able to unlock the gate. The gang all takes their places under Ileosa's direction.
A man comes out of the main door that faces the Gate about 10' away with a loaded Crossbow. There is another dog by his side. He is Jabral Louislik owner of the Tannery. "What in the Sam Hell is going on out here. Who are you and how did you get past my locked gate!" He demands of the group.
Kirk throws his hands up in the air as if to say "what did I do?"
I might ask the same of you! What kind of Tannery keeps crazed animals that would attack a Priestess of Cheliax! It's a good thing her bodyguards are here to protect her or you would be facing some serious accusations right now! That dog just came out of nowhere and launched itself as soon as we walked through the unlocked gate! Now put that weapon away or you could find yourself in even more trouble. We are here to do business with you.
Meridian remains quietly where she is waiting to see if their plan will work.
"A Priestess of Cheliax? and she lets her slave speak, ha! That'll be the day." The tanner seems confused and calls for his dog. "Abbie? What have you fiends done to my dog!" The other dog that was inside with Louislik begins to howl over the corpse of abbie.
"I believe my slave already answered your question." Ileosa said as she lowered her hood to reveal her birthmark. "I let my slave speak to you because your dog tried to kill me." She hissed. "And now you insult me."
