You guys are up
Grint fires two arrows again, first at the lone pirate a second if he still stands after the first.
True, but they missed, so i'm not rolling.
Lyssa hears a sound from the top of the stairs.
Ugh, no...
"Elsa, I'm going upstairs! There's something going on!" Lyssa informs Elsa, and moves toward the stairs.
"Three of you city guards, come with me!" she says as she moves. "The other three and the spearman continue to defend the entrance and stairs!"
Once Lyssa's at the top of the stairs she sees some of the pirates on the second floor. She stops, and yells at them at the top of her lungs.
"What are you doing there?! Come here if you dare, coward!"
Lyssa hears a sound from the top of the stairs.
Ugh, no...
"Elsa, I'm going upstairs! There's something going on!" Lyssa informs Elsa, and moves toward the stairs.
"Three of you city guards, come with me!" she says as she moves. "The other three and the spearman continue to defend the entrance and stairs!"
Once Lyssa's at the top of the stairs she sees nothing. She decides to continue moving. When Lyssa arrives near the end of the hallway she sees two pirates and a girl in the room to the west, and takes a step into the room.
"Who the heck are you?" Lyssa asks the girl. "Are you with these pirates?"
Indeed it's a girl. She's clad totally in black, including the face and has an odd combat stance.
She faintly shakes her head.
"You should head for the other hallway, i'll deal with these."
Very faintly a blue-ish glimpse can be seen as she flicks her wrist and fingers. Fine lines seem to dance between her and the pirates.
The combat stance the girl has shows faint signs of that of a monk.
Kn. Local 15
The stance is of a sort not widely practiced and rumoured only being taught by a select few masters. One is rumoured to live somewhere in Kharum, but there is no confirmation.
Hearing Lyssa only faintly Elsa is too busy letting it go to care!
but obviously she needs to pay more attention.
Lyssa's interest is sparked due to the fighting stance the other monk uses, but there's no time to dwell on that.
"Kay," Lyssa replies, and gives the girl a quick nod.
Sabel keeps firing at the same person in front of the door.
"Do you think they will go down anytime soon Grint?"
"Well that one down there looks close to fainting, he looks pretty bloodied. If you need to, take cover behind me."
To those on the roof, you can roll a perception DC 25 to hear Lyssa yell something is wrong on the 2nd floor.
Sabel misses.
Malena groans in pain as she's hit again with an arrow. She can't take another one like that without being in serious trouble....
She moves back on the roof so as to be out of range of fire. She maintains her bardic performance, and concentrates on maintaining her illusion (having it shoot downwards), hoping that some of the pirates still believe it.
