Slevin waits, biding his time until the guards are through the door and "tending" to the dog before he strikes.
Annie's new doggie lies ready to pounce when the door is opened, a little growl is heard and a sulfuric odor comes from its snarling tiny teeth, a touch of fiendish fire glows in its eyes.
Annie's hand contains a small flickering flame. and just before the doggie leaps when the guard enters Annie snaps her fingers sending tiny sparks arounnd the guard's face.
The fiendish dog jumps at him.
Guard 1 is surprised this round, stumbling backwards so the dog's teeth catch only air.
But he does wave off the spark that jumps at him from Annabelle.
As quickly as she can, Lisbeth positions herself between the group of guards and the door out of the prison, cutting off their retreat. Once she's secured the door out of the cell, she jabs the dagger at the last guard to enter, "As you can see, he's a special dog with special needs. And he's hungry. We were hoping you'd help us feed him."
Slevin darts forward, reaching for one o the guards but missing.
Guard 2 takes a good strong hit from Lisbeth - he is surprised this round, and just sort of gurgles as she connects with the knife.
Sykes misses the snap at the guard, who stumbles back, flailing wildly to get the crazy slayer off of him. He seems to be fumbling for the signal horn that he carries on his belt, but pushing Sykes away from his jugular is taking up most of his attention.
Amber connects with the guard, knocking him flat out onto the ground.
Moving towards the gurad fumbling for the signal horn, Slevin plunges his dagger into the man's side.
Slevin sinks his knife into the guard, and he falls as well. Twelve seconds, mostly silent, and both of them are down. All of the fighters freeze for a moment, listening to the hallway outside. There is no sound. Seems like maybe no one noticed the fight. Yet.
Acting quickly, Slevin closes the door quietly and begins stripping the guards of their uniforms and equipment. As he does he studies them looking for signs of rank.
Amber doesn't hear much. Aounds like they're unnoticed ... for now ...
Both guards have a longsword and chain shirt, as well as a light crossbow. They also have the Branderscar uniform - blue with a grey tower on the tabard, and each has a signal horn.
And one of them has a key on him.
Annie plays with her doggie for a bit then she gives it a hug just before it vanishes with surge of flame around it.
Come on, everyone, I wanna find my bear. she says as she heads out into the hallway looking for another door to examine.
"Yeah good idea." Slevin replies, stripping the guards of their uniforms.
He casts a brief spell, his appearance shifting to mimic that of the guard that carried the key.
The brands are still healing, fresh and red on various easy to spot limbs.
Anabelle sees ... nobody in the hallway for the moment. It seems quiet. She can hear some vague noise of something moving to the right down the hallway.
Annie skips on down the hallway toward the noise stopping short to peer around and get a view of what it is.
Yes, the uniforms will cover the brands, though not well (your sleeves might shift, or something).
Amber, you can make a general intelligence check to see if you remember anything about the prison as you came in.
Annabelle sees another cell, this one bigger than theirs and barred to the open hallway instead of a room like their cell.
Inside is a hulking figure lurking in the corner, stringy bedraggled hair hanging around its head. It shuffles a bit when Annabelle approaches, retreating farther back into the dark corner.
Annie tries to see through the bars of the cell, Hello big person. I am looking for my lost bear. will you help me look for it?
