((If K is right in the mix of prison guards and black Hargrove troops, he is probably right in the edge of communication - probably fade in and out))

K swoops down to the doorway that leads into the prison. He nearly gets clocked by a shield that gets pushed up near the ceiling but he manages to avoid it at the last second. Hanging around in that crowded narrow, and low ceiling corridor for very long won’t go well for K. But in the moment there he relays to Jan the image of the black armoured guards in a wedge formation pushing their way into the prison. The prison guards are, well, prison guards. They’re not soldiers and don’t have any training in military tactics and are lacking a leader at the moment. The black armoured soldiers on the other hand appear solidly trained. They will all be inside soon.

"He's here!  Godrick Hargrove is here, but I can't see him!" Ava tried her best to keep her rising rage at bay, she didn't need to unleash it here... not without proper cause with guards around.  She looks to Geoffroi, or Jarrin, "Can either of you see those who have gone invisible?!"

The two ‘real’ prison guards look from Avaria to each other then to the surveillance hub. But before they can say anything, the lone guard who had run off down the hallway races back at full speed and into the surveillance hub. A moment later an alarm starts ringing out over the loudspeaker, the lights in the sconces flare red, and suddenly Avaria finds her vision changing. She can see a black robed and hooded figure walking calmly away around the outside of the panopticon. The edges of his figure blur slightly but she can see him nonetheless.

Both Geffroi and Soren point in that direction too, indicating they can see the person too.

Jarrin however does not see anyone.

((Any actions towards the figure other than talking will need to have an initiative roll added)).

—————————————-

Team Dwarf also hears the alarms going and the lights in their corridor also flare red.

Initiative: 24

Following the pointing, and trusting people are pulling a trick on her, she yells,

"Intruder! STOP HIM!"

Jarrin got a good jump on the situation at least better than the fleeing (though still invisible to Jarrin) figure.

Jarrin can act now (need a roll from Avaria still before she can go).

Initiative: 15

Surprised that she can see Godrick now, a guttural grow emerges from the shifter as she starts running at Godrick, Rage coming over her... (BA used, but I'll wait until knowing she can go before action)

((Jarrin, Godrick, Avaria, and then the others))

Jan curses under her breath, and turns to head towards where the soldiers are pushing in, directing K to find somewhere nearby but out of danger.

If the alarms start sounding, before she gets there, she'd likely assume that the guards have alerted the prison to the potential breech.

The alarms do sound as Jan heads that way. 

The fracas is spilling back into the main hallway, with black armoured soldiers pushing and shoving the prison guards back. More guards are arriving from different parts of the prison. Several push past Jan and the others, but one stops.

"Please head to the mess hall. You can get in through the rear of the kitchen, back that way and to the right," the guard says, pointing Jan and Team Dwarf, back the way they came. "All visitors need to get out of the corridors."

---------------------------------------------------------------

Is Marrin/Jarrin doing anything besides shouting and pointing? She's first in the initiative order.

((She can't actually see him can she? Not much she can do with armor on either way!))

Jarrin moves towards Korda to be between her and the Hargrove.

Jarrin/Marrin moves into position by Korda's cell and the dwarf looks at her with some curiosity.

"Know each other do you?" Korda asks.

Godrick Hargrove, still in a black robe, bald, with a beard, appears along the northern wall, shedding whatever invisibility he had. He's still moving quickly to the west.

At that moment, the warden comes around the corner into view as well, two guards following.

"Ah there you, are," Godrick says as the warden appears. "I've been waiting."

He then gestures at the group of guards.

"They claim to have seen an intruder in here."

The warden looks over at the guards, raising an eyebrow and then saying "Get to the southern gate. We need to reinforce the guards there."

------------------------------------------------------

Avaria is up if she wants to take an action.

Jarrin mutters to Korda,

"Oh, we go way back."

((I'll pause whatever response to the Warden until Ava gets her attack/response in!))

Wis save to see if she can hold her emotions in check (assuming that's the best roll for that?): 10

((I'd say she still goes into a rage at seeing Godrick, and acting so nonchalant))

Seething through her teeth, she turns briefly to the wardon, "This is the intruder!  I don't know what he was up to, but he was just invisible and I was able to sniff him out!  He isn't going anywhere."

And the shifter moves towards Godrick, ignoring everyone else as she uses all her will power to not strike out and just attempt to grapple the man where he stands.  Her unfamiliar armor getting in the way as she does, baring her teeth and a low growl emerges.

Athletics w/dis but a straight roll with the rage adv: 11

And BA - rage

At this point Jarrin will contribute,

"Uh, sir, that is exactly right. This man was invisible until just now, but Ava sniffed him out over by the dwarf here."

"What do we know? It's me.", Mar-Jan asks her companions, shifting her voice back to her own at the end in case they were confused. "K saw Hargrove troops trying to push in, I can take another face and go reinforce."

Godrick doesn’t even try to avoid Avaria’s grapple. He merely holds his hands up and nods to the warden.

”Guilty as charged. I know we can’t question prisoners without you present. But I wanted to observe Korda without her knowing she was being observed. You can learn a lot that way.” Godrick says. 

Before he can say more, several more guards exit the Surveillance Hub and head towards the fighting at the southern gate.

And even before the guards have left the panopticon, two more familiar figures come around the corner; William Hargrove and his fiery tempered and fiery haired spouse arrive in the scene.

”Ah, there you are son. Oh, and look who it is. I shouldn’t be surprised to see you up here at the ends of the earth.” William Hargrove says, indicating Avaria and Geffroi. “That pair were a couple of troublemakers who are part of a group who stole a ship of ours and set fire to one of our ports. I would appreciate it if you would order her to release my son.”

None of the Hargroves appear surprised to see Avaria or Geffroi. And Jarrin/Marrin does catch Mother  Hargrove eyeing her carefully.

————————————

Ethel shakes her head at Mar-Jan’s suggestion.

”This is as good a distraction as we can hope for. Maybe we should take advantage of it and try to get ahold of the ledgers. At least it would keep our options open.”

Jarrin directs her question to the warden,

"Uh, sir? Isn't it their people causing all of..."

She waves in the direction of the fighting.

It takes all of Avaria's control to not headbutt Godrick right then and there, so wanting to see the blood blossom out of a broken nose on his smug face.  But she holds on to the man and concentrates on her breathing as her rage slowly subsides.  She continues to glower at Godrick as she responds, "Troublemakers?!  You stole our freedom and kept us under lock and key for your entertainment."

She takes several more breathes, trying not to derail everything they worked for.  "She's right," referring to Jarrin, "You might ask why the Hargroves are pushing their way into your prison, requiring your guards to put up a fight and leave their posts." to drive home her point, she takes her eyes off Godrick for a brief moment to look towards the Surveillance Hub where the amount of guards has drastically reduced, and returns her ire to the Hargrove.

Godrick smiles at Avaria as he watches her struggle to control her anger.,

"You seem quite free now," Godrick says to Avaria. He then looks across to his father. "Lord Hargrove, you should deal with the men. It sounds like they misunderstood their orders. We're fine here."

William Hargrove looks like he's going to say something but he visibly holds it in. A dynamic is at play between the younger and elder Hargrove that did not seem to be there before.

William and Gillian Hargrove leave the room, heading towards the sound of fighting.

The warden seems relieved by a potential solution to the problem of the incursion.

"You can return to your duties," she says to Avaria, Jarrin and the others.

While Avaria has felt no resistance of fight from Godrick, she does feel his body growing colder. Not cold enough to cause her any pain or damage but it has begun to get uncomfortable.

Jan mutters curses under her breath. "An opportunity... and a possible scapegoat if it comes to it."

((Is there a place that she could get out into the open? One route would be up through the tower, but having to deal with the guards. With their focus inward at the moment, if Jan can get to open sky, she could fly to the top of the tower and enter that way. It'd be cold and unpleasant, but if she took on the form of an aarakocra with white plumage and dressed in white, she could be a bit camouflaged and fly out a ways, then up, descending on the tower from above. Jan would have a better lay of things in her head than I, would it be feasible to take flight and circle far enough out and up to be hard to spot, then drop down on the tower from the skies? Unfortunately she can't invisible herself and fly, but perhaps a boost to DEX from Ula's Enhance Ability to help her sneak?))
