After checking over Anthix, Morgana seems to nod, the look of worry passing. "Seems like you're holding together well enough... last we want to do is leave a trail of blood for a necromancer to follow..."

Morgana is bringing up the flank, keeping an ear out for any following.

Perception: 18

"yes yes I know" smiles slightly and winks "I'm a bit tougher then I look darling" he turns to head out the door and into the ally.

(somewhere in the middle for Anthix) 

Quendar opens the door to the alley and looks outside for any sign of guards, of both the private and city variety. 

"Wait for me to check if anyone is out there first," he whispers back to the others.

Perception: 7   

If there are none he steps out into the alley, waits a moment, and if no danger presents itself, waves the others to follow him out.

"Do we need to use the tunnels again, or can we just walk openly on the street?"

"The tunnel is probably for the best, to keep us from being witnessed anywhere near Virago's mansion." Morgana says as she catches up.

Following behind everyone, Vivi shrugs at Morgana nonchalantly. "I guess they'll chalk it up to a cleaning mishap? Not everyone has as vivid an imagination as us."

"Really? The tunnels again?"  Vivi sighs. "We may be being watched that way with the guards anyway. Surely we can leave in a little more style?"

(Is Vivi aware of any other ways out of this part of town?)

(OOC - it won't let me turn bold off :()

Morgana looks up the walls of the adjacent, non-Virago mansion. "I could find my own way back, take the bag even, but doubt the rest of you could follow as easily."

Morgana does notice Anthix is bleeding a trail behind him. She's now fairly sure he's left plenty behind...

Q doesn't notice anyone in the alley looking out. It's simply a darken alley that dead ends on one side and across he can see the sealed grate the party came through.

"Shit. Anthix, in this light, you're definitely bleeding all over the place..." She opens up her satchel, and removes a strip of bandages. "Come here." Working quickly, she wraps Anthix's wounds, and takes out a flask of water and pours it over any blood in the alleyway. "I can only hope what you've left behind can't be used by any sort of blood or tracking magic... I don't think we have time to go back inside and clean up the trail."

Uses a Healer's Kit charge.

"thanks.... I didn't think I was bleeding that bad" watches ad he's bandaged up looking around the ally "sadly the sewer is the best way, as unglamorous as that is...." 

Morgana stops the bleeding. The party lingers in the alley they notice lights begin to come on in the gallery in the upper floor windows of the mansion! The night is still wet and has gotten colder. Along darkness is with the party time is not on their side....

"Ok, onwards and downwards. We're out of time to faff around talking." Morgana will usher the others to the grate, removing the padded crowbar from her pack to close it behind...

"I'll go down first and make sure no one is waiting for us in the dark," Quendar says.

Quendar quickly climbs down the ladder into the tunnels, once down he scans the way ahead, looking for anyone waiting in the dark.

Perception: 14

OOC: I would have liked rolls even advantage with the crowbar...

Q moves into the sewer dropping down into the water that's now calf high from the rainy night. Looking around the sewer tunnel he doesn't see anything immediately out of place. The path ahead passed the first Reaper cache seems to be clear.

OOC Yep, wanted to give the others a chance to say respond if they really wanted to try another plan.

As the party drops down, Morgana is last on the rope. Hooking the crowbar in the grate, she braces herself in the same unnatural way she did before, attempting to slot the grate in place without making too much of a racket.

Vivi rolls her eyes as she descends into the sewer, her cloak shifting to a darker colour as she does so. Once at the bottom, she carefully tiptoes over to the smugglers store, listening out for any noise from around he bend. Stealth 13 perception 14

Quendar does his best to try and assist Morgana with closing the grate but can't get much of a purchase himself.

"If it doesn't close, just leave it," Quendar says. "Maybe they'll think it was a Reaper if they think we came from the tunnels."

He moves down the tunnel to the first bend and sticks his head around, trying to keep quiet as he goes.

Stealth: 23  

Anthix heads on down looking around and placing himself against a wall trying to mostly catch his breath after the fight and almost getting caught in the house.... Possibly dying as well.

Stealth: 22 

OOC: No worries. Y'all are in the sewer...

Moving into the sewers everyone but Morgana and Anthix are making a racket as they move through. Passed the first Reaper cache the party can see a flickering light ahead. They are not alone in the sewer and what/whomever is on the other side has been alerted to the parties presence!

(Initiative?)

Vivi, up ahead with Quendar (outside the smugglers store, not sure what square) winces as she realises they are not being as subtle as they had hoped. She locks eyes with Quendar, her teeth clenched as she calls out in her 'official' voice "Who goes there? I thought we were clear there were to be no interruptions!"
