"WTF?"
Sid look around trying to see what is happening.
Uncertain about what is happening Sid put his back against a wall and draw his morningstar.
Bennevy makes passing note of the sound, but continues to focus on the man about to speak his testimonial.
Tomid hears the sound from the Goblin and steps outside to look at what might have caused the noise.

The man in white starts to shake and shouts "They're here, they're going to kill us all!" and begins to run away frantically. The other two just look at him puzzled.
As soon as he says that you all spot a massive upside down pyramid made of blood and bone crashing through the middle of the Block. As it goes down it starts to fire shards of bone into every level of the Block. In a few moments it crashes into the floor leaving a huge pile of bones and a pool of blood scattered all over the floor.
Ian
"What is that?
Sid cast Shield of fate.
Some inconsequential thought pass through Sid mind:
"Buy a buckler, kid, it can save your life."
It is his way to cope with shock.
"What is that thing?"
Trying to identify the "thing".
Kiriko moves closer to Tomid after stepping outside, looking for an escape route.
"whatever that was, it can't be good"
hearing the crash with the area precipitating bones Ral looks to the crowd trying to find some capable fighters to align with.
We need to band together to protect the people. Ral exclaimed, as much to surround himself as to actually help the citizens.
Seeing the surrounding chaos Ral looks within himself, bringing forth small flames in his hands. Getting ready to "deal" with any oncoming threats.
Hearing Ral'Zek call, Sid move toward him.

Perception for everyone but Ral'Zek
Sid
The man dressed in white is running as far away from the mass of bones as possible. Having taken a moment his "companions" have started chasing after him.
Is this the evil I'm to challenge, Ian thinks to himself as he casts detect evil.
Tomid grabs his "go" bag from behind the bar. We need to be ready to vacate the block. Look out there! Its raining bones and gore.

Bennevy
"We won't survive this if we act alone," Bennevy responds to the man invoking fire magic. "I will work with you for our mutual defense, and to protect the block."
Bennevy looks around quickly.
"We need to find a defensible location, somewhere they cannot attack from multiple directions."
"We need to find a defensible location, somewhere they cannot attack from multiple directions."
Looking around Ral starts to try to gather some of the residents into some form of line in which they can defend.
Funnel them towards me!! Ral exclaims All the while trying to find a corridor in the block that would be suitable.
Bennevy tries to motivate the crowd to defend the block.
"People, listen to me! Find things that you can use for weapons. Clubs, staves, hammers, table legs and chairs. If you run, they will drag you down from behind and kill you!"
Sid get near Bevenny and Ral'Zek and start donning his armor.
"I will help. I have some healing magic."
Sid hear something clicking within himself, he know what that mean.

Kiriko
Bennevy, Tomid and Sid
Tomid
Ian
Bennevy stares for a moment at the lifeless body, sighs in resignation, and turns to face the oncoming foe.
Sid try to don his armor as fast as possible.
"Someone can give me a hand with this?"
Looking the man in white:
"He is dead? It is not the moment to check him. This will give him a chance if he is still alive."
Seeing the man in white down and dead Tomid chooses to do nothing to distinguish him from others in the crowd. He does begin working his way over to the man as he tries to figure out what is going on and to not panic. Might be its time to go to ground young halfling. he thinks to himself.
When he sees an man donning armor he realizes This man intends to resist. That is good. and moves quickly to assist him. He speaks quietly as his quick and dexterous hands begin to move to synch straps and buckle buckles. I am here and shall assist you as I can human.
Kiriko whispers To Tomid "This is bad, that pointing discretely at the dead man was an assassination and this whole mess is the distraction. We should make our escape as soon as possible"
Overhearing the word, "assassination", Bennevy runs over to the corpse of the man, kneels beside the body, and begins looking for anything of importance to his goal.
A symbol, a tattoo, a journal...he must have something!
Tomid continues to help the man with his armor. This sure is taking a long time....
"Now we wait. We should try to stop wathever mosnter come our way."
I am not so good in that kinda fight. My legs are too short and I am not as strong as I look. The small halfling looks up at the human. I only have this thick shirt for armor and my sword. while well honed, is as short as I am. His glancing about makes it obvious he is looking for a place to hide.
I also would prefer to avoid a fight, but can if I have to
after a short pause the tiefling girl adds Never fight a battle of your enemys choice. And they have chosen the time and the battlefield and hold the iniciative
Now that his armor is donned Sid look around, what resources we have? Some defensible location? More people willing to help us? We should do rear guard for a fighting retreat?
"There are too many of them to face out in the open like this," Bennevy says. "Everyone else seems to be running. We won't be much of a force with just a handful of us willing to fight. Perhaps we need to find a place to lie low, and plan a strategy."
Tomid nods vigorously. What this guy says!
"How about The Smiling Goblin"
After a moment she adds
"It has tables and stuff to barricade the doors and windows. We would also have food and drink to last for a while. And a way into the sewers if we need an escape route"
Bennevy nods. "That sounds reasonable. We will be overwhelmed if we stay out here. Let's move inside, quickly."
Sid shout to the people milling around: "You have heard the lady, the best defensive position is The Smiling Goblin, that way."[b]
He point in the tavern direction: [b]"Get in, move!"
He start pushing people in the tavern direction while he continue haranguing the crowd.
Ian will begin yelling at folks to go to the tavern.
Unsure if this is good or bad for his employer Tomid shrugs and goes with the crowd. At least the place will be well guarded. And I can work the bar!
