Kinnik looks up sharply at the shouted alarm. He calls over to Copper, "I'm going to go help! Get the others- you might be able to grab the schema while they're distracted!" He pulls up the illusory shoulder strap of his white dress and grabs a second soarsled under his arm. Damned warforged, he thinks. What the hell did you do this time..?
Not knowing where Cap is, he plans to just blast into the middle of the action. Seeing the ballistae as the primary threats, he aims directly for the gunman that looks slowest on the uptake (whichever baddie is in a firing position and lowest in the initiative order).
Initiative: 15 (rolled on discord)
If he's able to do it on this turn, he dives off of the sled and immediately casts minor illusion on it to give it the appearance of a flaming ballista bolt! (the goal being to scare the guy into jumping clear of the gun!)

With the shout of their leader pointing out the warforged, some of the enemies are not surprised! However, the ones who are will be marked with (surprised)! There is a map below - Kinnik and Copper are far north at the moment!
Ballistae Gal A takes aim at Cap with a hand crossbow. (Cap you have half cover where you are right now, +2 to AC as long as you stay there). She winks as she fires at him: Attack: 11 Damage: 5. Whether she hits or misses, she ducks behind the ballistae for half cover.
(Note to Copper: Just like I told Kinnik, you have access to a soarsled or a skyraft. The skyraft holds two people. Something to keep in mind is the ballistae. You know a fight has to be breaking out because you saw a burst of flame and someone yell "get that warforged!" so you figure they mean Cap. Using the dash action, you can get closer. You are both coming from the north.)

Cap misses his mark, but does hit the ship. The ship goon grits his teeth as he shouts, "my ship! How dare you, you pile of rocks!!" The ship goon pulls a heavy crossbow from his back and takes aim! (Attack: 10 Damage: 1.)
Kinnik flies in wildly looking for the warforged. He spots BGuy A looking dumbfounded at the fire on the ship. Knowing this, is Kinnik going to try to crash his sled onto the bad guy and jump to where Cap is?? Checking before I move on.

Kinnik attempts to aim his soarsled at the ballistae where the A's are, and manages to barely jump off from it in time as the soarsled doesn't just manage to spook Ballistae Guy A, it completely WRECKS the ballistae turning it into a pile of timber before disappearing over the ledge and scattered to the city below.
Ballistae Gal B takes aim at Kinnik with her hand crossbow! She hates being startled!! (Attack: 9 Damage: 7 piercing.)

Kinnik rolls to a crouch from his dive, barely managing to keep hold of the other soarsled. He's COMPLETELY unaware of the crossbow bolt that just whipped over his head. "Dammit," he spits- he had planned to use the ballista he just destroyed. Hearing BGB cock her crossbow for another shot, he whips around, drops the spare soarsled, and draws his copper-wrapped poniard.
Faint circus music echoes in his head as he prepares to cast... something... on his opponent.
Following after Kinnik as the chaos unfolds, Copper swoops down low on the skyraft and swings his axe above his head. As it passes, the sound of an ominous gong rings out at Goon 1

Ballistae Guy B turns toward the Cannith noble and seems to whisper some sort of spell as he takes cover behind his ballista and fires off a hand crossbow bolt at Kinnik! (Attack: 5 Damage: 3)
The Cannith noble lifts his hand and snaps his finger and you see his dragonmark spark to life as it glows with that familiar mysterious power all dragonmarked houses seem to possess. Different odds and ends around these docks - screws, metal plating, and the like - all crawl toward each other and form some strange clockwork creature.
As the creature is forming, the Cannith noble rushes towards Copper and pulls out his rapier in a quick attack against the shifter. Attack: 12 Damage: 12) He will also look at the disguised members of your team that linger near the door and barks, "There is a warforged on the roof. Dispatch it!"
Goon 2 is no longer surprised!

The goon's eyes and ears swell disturbingly for a second before popping in streams of blood. Copper steps off of the skyraft with a grin as he faces the noble, easily batting aside the man's attack. "Maybe I'll skin you and get a nice dragonmark patch for my jacket." he growls.

"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Kinnik looks up sharply at the shouted alarm. He calls over to Copper, "I'm going to go help! Get the others- you might be able to grab the schema while they're distracted!" He pulls up the illusory shoulder strap of his white dress and grabs a second soarsled under his arm. Damned warforged, he thinks. What the hell did you do this time..?
