"Alright lets head down there like a shadow." hangs close to the wall and starts making his way to the second floor.
Leng also attempts Stealth.
Eitylen quickly slips into the shadows, unseen by all but himself. His allies aren't as successful... A couple guards notice their approach towards the building leer at the two while pulling their swords.
"What the hell are you doing? Get outta here! This is a private property!"
Both carry a longsword and buckler. They seem better trained and armed than the last thugs you faced... But not by much.
"SOD IT ALL." Leng shouts and goes for the direct approach.
Tai Leng's strike takes the guard by complete surprise! Breaking his nose with a loud crack, knocking him out with a single hit.
Kadir raises his musket and charges the guard, swinging it over his head.
"Hurry, grab em!"
move + attack To the not injured guard
"Fall." Cyrus commands the guard still standing, his voice filled with power.
The Guard barely deflects Kadir's attack, but fails to evade Eitylen's swift strike. Realizing he's fully surrounded, he decides to withdraw and call for help!
"Argh! Help! I'm being attacked!" he cries... And his allies come to his aid... But they are still a small distance from you.
Kadir and Eitylen can't do anything about his escape, but Tai Leng does get the chance to strike.
The man's mind falters for a second.. But his will power stands victorious against Brother Cyrus' command.
Leng gives the guard a lesson in physics: What happens when a substance harder than steel collides with soft flesh at high speeds?
"Call reinforcements!" shouts one of the guards towards the gate they left unguarded. He moves towards Tai Leng with speed and stabs him with his sword.
But his attack is ineffective against Tai Leng's reflexes...
"Well there goes the plan!" exclaims lifting his musket over his head unloaded, arcane sigils etching themselves into the stock and barrel "Here catch!"
Kadir sends his musket flying through the air like a tomahawk as it takes on a life of its own.
Kadir's throw missed the guard, but it magically corrects his course and smacks the man behind its head.
In retaliation, a sword blade flashes and attacks Tai Leng, the one closest to the two guards.
He can feel the steel piercing with uncanny precision. The guard grins menacingly as he attacks, but despite the pain, Tai Leng remains unimpressed.
Move and
Eitylen almost misses the attack, but corrects it in time to pierce the guard's flesh.
Brother Cyrus cants a blessing for his allies.
"Gods, watch over us..." He says under his breath.
Leng cracks a fist at the guard next to him.
Tai Leng's attack knocks one more guard unconscious.
We tie them and enter (or at least Eitylen scout ahead), taking 10 in stealth (20).
Eitylen enters the house... There 4 small rooms, one of which smells of food and a second one that smells like vinegar. A 3rd door is half open, revealing just a bunch of simple beds and a few cabinets. The last door, which seems to lead to an small room... Smell like you really don't want to go in there... Unless you are in desperate need of a toilet.
You can hear rushed steps on the floor above him. There are at least 4 people running over there.
Other than the doors to each room, the only thing around is a fancy-looking stair to the 2nd floor.
Eitylen make a sing for the others to enter, anyway to see what is behind hte vinegar smelling door? (like looking through a groove of something?)
Tai Leng kicks the door open.
You see a bunch of wooden crates, just like the ones you found in the old laboratory. Prying them open reveals the same content too, a few glass vials buried in sawdust. All of them filled with the same purple-colored liquid.
Kadir and Tai Leng are able to detect a magic trap in the first step of the stairs. Similar to the one you found in the old laboratory. The sound of footsteps coming from the floor directly above you is soon replaced by the one of blades being unsheathed and crossbows cocked.
"I'm not cut out for these covert missions," Kadir whispers before grabbing his musket from the air and loading it. He moves slowly into the building looking up the stairs listening for movement. "Watch the first step it's trapped." pointing to the first stair step.
"Just hop the first one and we'll be fine."
Kadir doesn't detect any more traps... At least not 'til he steps on the second to last step. This particular trap was more carefully hidden than the first. He feels a surge of electricity running through his body.
As Kadir looks back, he sees two man appearing out of seemingly nowhere... Almost at the same time, two bolts fly towards him. The mage is quick enough to deflect one of them, but the second one finds its mark.
The ones that you can hide below and the ones where you can't.
