"Either way could be just as treacherous as the other. We're gonna be fighting our asses off either way we go.....so, the only thing I'm worried about is taking up people one at a time...because the one that's left at the top alone would have to face whomever or whatever comes up there next."
"I don't think two dead guards will go unnoticed for long," Sienna says, looking up at the top of the watchtower.
"Титан" Sādhanā says, the power of her cloak doubling her size. "I can now."
"We wouldn't be able to retreat should that become necessary, but I doubt they're expecting us to come crashing through the roof. Would be one hell of a surprise attack."
"Well, questions answered," Ylrhea says, climbing onto the magus' back.
Sādhanā smiles. "Ok, grab hold," she says opening he arms wide, "Се зголемуваат" she utters feeling the power of her boots take hold, the little wings becoming a blur of activity.
Arista nods and takes a death like grip of Sadhana. She closes her eyes as she starts feeling lifted. Lifting her head to where she can be heard she says, "Just let me know when we're up there."
"Can't wait until I get my own wings..." Sienna sighs, hanging on.
"Aw, c'mon, you two. This is kinda fun."
Sādhanā chuckles flying slowly towards the tower before swiftly going up, close to the surface of the wall to the observation point at the top, touching down gently if it is safe.
Aside from the guard that Sienna took out, the rooftop is safe.

Ylrhea hops off Sādhanā and draws her dagger, slitting the unconscious man's throat.
"We're here," Sādhanā whispers to Arista as they touch down. As everyone lets go, she looks over the side at Tarja and Cyna's progress.
Cyna takes a deep breath and places her foot on the side of the tower. She let's the odd feeling in her stomach take over as she moves up the side as quickly as she can.
Opening her eyes, she takes care not to look over the edge of the tower and makes her way to the stairwell, where she holds onto it.
"Well....with these stairs here, at least we don't have to go literally crashing through anything. Whenever everyone's here, we'll head down."
Heading down the stairs, you come to the lower floor. There is a doorway to the right and one to the left. Another set of stairs is at the end of the forty foot long hallway.
"Probably some guys up here...Should we peek in each room, Captain?" Ylrhea whispers.
Drago closed his eyes and listened for any sounds that might indicate resistance.
Drago's keen senses pick up the faint sounds of shuffling feet and mumbling, though he has no idea of their numbers.
"Better not to leave anyone behind us as we work our way down. I'd rather not have to fight in both directions at once." Sādhanā says quietly.
Cyna nods in agreement casting Aspect of the Falcon on herself, preparing for battle.
Ylrhea sneaks toward the doorway on the right and peeks inside.
"Which way shall we look first then?"
Ylrhea sees 5 cultists in the room to the right, which appears to be a barracks of some sort with several beds and footlockers.
Realizing the limited space in the tower Sādhanā dispels the magic of the cloak with a whisper, returning to normal size. "Anyone have a spell that can hit the majority of them at once?"
Before heading into what would probably be one of their longest battles to date, Arista closes her eyes and utters a silent prayer for guidance to Sarenrae before placing her hands on herself and casting shield of faith on herself.
"Well...if you like a lot of fire..." Sienna grins.
"I have nothing against BBQing a bunch of scumbag cultists. All I got is sound burst...which at most might disorient them or aggravate them."
Ylrhea moves to the other door and looks in.
As silent as the shadow of death, Ylrhea sees six more cultists in the other room.
The gnome gives the final tally and draws her crossbow. She looks to the others for a signal.
Initiative:
Surprise Round: Cyna, Drago, Cultists, Ylrhea, Sienna, Sādhanā, Tarja, Arista
Drago drew his family sword and the blue flame sprang to life. While waiting to make his move, he spoke the words, "Shochraos Fethos." and a disc of electricity momentarily flashed in front of him.
Ylrhea steps away from the wall and shoots at one of the cultists.
Sienna covers herself in an armor of force.
Taking out her Fire Goddess Blade, she walks up to the door on the right and waits for a cultist to come within range of attack.
Surprise Round: Cyna, Drago, Cultists, Ylrhea, Sienna, Sādhanā, Tarja, Arista
Cyna moves down the hall giving her a view of one of the rooms.
Tarja readied her weapon to strike a the first adversary that comes near the Stormborn.
Sādhanā moves to the side of the door opposite Arista, quietly casting the spell that conjures images of her.
Round 1: Cyna, Drago, Cultists, Ylrhea, Sienna, Sādhanā, Tarja, Arista
Cyna fires off several shots into the three visible cultists.
Cyna quickly ends three of the cultists, one with a particularly vicious shot.
