"Up, the main stairs will take yo..."
The is the sound of braking class from above
Hastings "Says Ill go get the poker me-lady"
She looks up and points up the stairs, with a worried look says "that way!"
Scarlet takes the time to gently put down her back-pack while she awaits developments. Her weapon is, at all times, primly and properly pointed at the floor.
"this may be a theft or a test of the home's defences, we should send some of us to take care of the threat swiftly and harshly, but keep one or two of us in the cellar with the client"
I will stay with the lady, the package and scarlet. nodded Jack using his staff as a resting cane
"I think that should be enough, you guys get to a defendable location, or one you can run from if need be, and we'll go take out the intruder," he then takes off at a dead sprint up the stairs as fast as he can.
Scarlet calmly awaits the Lady's decision.
"Should we move, M'Lady?" She asks, though Scarlet's gaze is calmly on the door into and out of the room.
There is another crash this time closer
"We move out, but as a solid, compact unit - If everyone helps to hold up the sky, then one person does not become tired - my master always enforced. Our strength lies in unity. And that unity will see us through" - the usually silent tiefling puts forth to the others, as he calmly approaches the door and listens intently.
Move out or stay here, i'd rather wait somewhere comfortable scarlet...

Hall and I will take poiint, Zaeltor, You take the rear. Everyone else who isn't coming with, get down to the cellar and protect the Lady.
Ending this command, Gigar clenches his fists and two small fields of energy form around them resembling clubs. (Mind Blades will deal blunt damage). He takes two steps up the stairs ahead of everyone else, crouches down and wispers back. Stay quiet, I want the drop on them if we can.
Gigar you smell Oil you can hear someone moving about just above
A muffled voice says " don't drop it you fool, their just down below."
It's from a hall way on the 1st floor landing
The son of Durrik hears the breaking glass
"By the Ancestors of Dungard!" He mutters and heads up the stairs with his musket at the ready....fully loaded and riding the triggers edge...
that's not good...
Hall tries to determine if they are within about 60ft,if so he hides near the door hopeing to get the drop on them, he signals to gigar to do the same
As you hear the talking Gagar olrick come bounding up from the cellar into from hall and the starts up stops to the 1st floor,
Every roll initi please,
"Hssst! Olrik? Wait!" Scarlet tries to get the Dwarve's attention as he comes barreling up the stairs.
"Gentlemen? What ever people are going to do? They should do it now..." She offers her advice to ever one else.
"M'Lady? Are we moving down stairs?"
Olrik sees scarlet and makes a double take.... "wha .....?"
must be on a higher level....
["M'Lady? Are we moving down stairs?"
She will follow you unless anther player dos some thing, and its Mr Srub who said you will be paid and working for her.
"What ever they are doing stop them she says" before heading out of view with scarlet into the cellar.Up to olrik if he stops before going up to the 1st foot, olrik you can say where you are ground or 1st floor at the start of this round.

the higher one
Scarlet stays at the 'rear' of the moving group. Her weapon still pointed at safely the floor, though now in a 'two handed' grip as she eyes up the stairs warily and her companions retreating backs.
"You know...there's a saying for some situations like this..." She talks casually to the Lady. Scarlet's voice is calm and conversational.
Kk Olirk
As you charge past hall and then Gigar you run into a room were two men are standing over a small oil drum, one has a lamp the other is holding bit of cloth and feeding it into a hole at the top of the drum.
One with the cloth screams the other gos for a pistol
Your action has flat foodies them both

Mr Cloth is small and skinny
Mr Pistol is a large fat man
Ok over to you guys,
With no time for words, Gigat rushes up to Mr. Pistol and swings his psi-club.
Current AC Changed to 16 for 1 round.
NOTE: If I cannot charge, then attack is only 13, and AC stays at 18.

Olrik assesses the situation in an instant, thinking quickly he decides that Mr pistol is the first to go.
"Ya shouldnta dun that"
And fires a single barrel at the mans face
Hall charges the one who is running away
could you roll DMG if you have not, ya all hit,
Olrik, the fat guy no longer has a head
Gigar Ill say you want for Mr Cloth, stopping him, second attack hits
butting him deeply then Hall Even with out the charge cut the other one in half.
End Combat
Blood thirsty lot you lot are.
Oops, critical confirmed
I take that back the top half of Mr Postal is now missing.
BOOM!!
Damn, I wonder what they were up to? Oh well. Gigar begins to search Mr. Cloths body for anything to tell us who he is or what he was doing here.
[Dice=Perception] 1d20+4
As he does this he calls down stairsn My Lady, I am terribly sorry for the mess, but could you please tell us what this is all about?
Olrik recorks the oil cask..... "burnin the place down was their plan...." then takes all Mr pistol's powder shot and his pistol.... as well as any cartridges and other guns
hall casts detect magic
Scarlet definitely awaits for an 'All clear' before egressing from the cellar with her charge.
Zaeltor nods in appreciation, as the two invading characters are quickly dispatched by Gigar and Olrik.
Carefully he approaches to examine the apparent makeshift bomb, taking care to snuff the lamp out, and peering around for any others that may have been drawn by the combat noises.
One group you think hall, no magic
Scarlet you can assume the all clear was given by Gigar
Olrik, you get a pistol, 1/2 lb of power a bag of ball shot
Zaeltor you hear no others but find from what left of Mr pistol a crude printed poster

_______________________________
Scarlet's eyebrows raise. "That's....a lot of incentive for people insisting the Lady doesn't show up." She looks to the Lady.
"Are you just attending? Or are you actively participating in the event listed?"
And can we attend with you inside just in case of trouble?
My dear Lady,Gigar begins, My compatriots ask some very good questions, but I think all can wait until after we've had some tea and calmed our nerves a little.
Aye, but I saw me some ale down in der celler....
Ill have. Summer dat iffin ya don't mind....
Scarlet nods and steps aside, allowing people to 'settle' about the place.
She looks very shocked as you show her the poster
"I .. Yes tea, tea would be good, and no I was not to attend, my father was, but he...
O gods it was not an ascendent, falling under the tram, he was..."
She seems upset but holding it well.
"This is all about my uncle, you see my father and he, had this idea to find the fallen a fallen citadel, one they say is out in the grass lands where the grass giants live. My uncle lead an expedition to find it that set off 2 years ago, he should have been back 6 mouths ago, but nothing, then a week ago we hear that he's back in the city, of course my father rushed off to to find him, but he was told my uncle was always to busy to see his own brother who had funded the trip. Fearing some thing was wrong we when to the Garde, but they said they had meet with my uncle and all was well he was just busy. Then we hear about this lecture he's going to give, fine we think we shall see him there, you see we had even spent the night outside the hotel my uncle was staying at and still could not see him, my father even went to knock on his door, but one of my uncles men told him to go and would not let him into the room. So the lecture seemed like our only change, but then we kind we can't get a ticket, our names are down not to be admitted as only a few VIPs where allowed to go. Now frantic my father found Mr Scrub who said he could get a ticket, but then my father..."
She stops again and sips tea.
"After when my uncle did not show at my fathers cremation, I know something was wrong, Mr scrub said I would need help, to get into the lecture, as I m determined to go, do you must be that help, you have saved my life yet I don't know your names fully"
"I am Hall Stewart," he inclines his head
