"Oookay, Ethan is weird as f..." is Zahira's first thought. Followed by "Also, he's said the word 'killing' so lightly that he's also *pretty* scary. And his friends are talking about not letting us go? Okay. Okay okay okay. Don't get nervous, Zahira. It is good that Ethan has ignored your poorly chosen words. Let's try not to break Zeph's charade".
As she's thinking all this she nods eagerly at Zephyro, trying to look as interested as him in taking part in all this nonsense and even looking at Ethan and his companions as if they were the coolest bunch she's ever had the pleasure of laying her eyes upon.
- Y-yes! Your music is cool, guys! What's your band's name? I'm sure you have a lot of fans already! That Flurry had been complaining about the volume and it is true it was a bit loud, but he's probably just not paying enough attention to your awesome riffs!
(ooc: Deception = 15)
Inside, she's wondering how is it possible that the music they've played so far has not affected them? How could they've been playing here without their eardrums exploding? They are not wearing ear protections right? Is there something in the room that's protecting them? Any kind of magic spell or artifact of any kind that has protected them?
(ooc: Arcana check = 11)
She also shots a glance at the rest of her team. If they want to avoid the fight after being discovered, they might as well try to follow Zephyro's charade too.
The dwarf and the elf had looked at one another before looking back to the tiefling as Zahira and Zephyro began to speak. However the Tiefling's tail began to wag back and forth in excitement.
(Tiefling Appearance)
Put your spoiler here.
He had peered over Zephyro and Zahira, a toothy grin that hardly hid the fact that he was checking both of them out.
"Damn why you two gotta be looking so fine! Yeah pretty boy let's get those sick beats going! And girly we can get so music howling ya dig? Oh yeah call me daddio and we can get rolling!"
He had pulled a comb from his pocket with a single whip of his tail before combing it between his horns with a devilish grin. A pun that would most certainly.. Behoove a gentleman of such stature.
"Ahh the name's Ethan babes a pleasure! What's with the cute quiet one in the back? Or the hot cat guy? Oh man too many cuties!"
"Ethan! We aren't here to flirt did you forget!!"
The elf now was growing rather irritated with his antics.
As Zahira inspects them she does she that they have ear mufflers hung around their necks and there is something.. Magical about the amp here it would appear but it was hard to tell what. However Zephyro and Zahira had Ethan enraptured but the others weren't hearing it. The Dragonborn was reaching for a longsword and shield, the dwarf a battleaxe and the elf seemed to have an arcane focus and the human on the side had pulled out a longbow.
"Whoa wait now! We don't gotta do this righttt? I mean... They just wanna throw down some sick beats with us!"
'Pretty boy?!' Now even more uncomfortable, but determined not to let it get to him, Zephyro tries to steady his grin while dropping the ridiculous pose. Straitening his coat, he looks over the rest of Ethan's group. Zahira already told them her name, but Zeph isn't very keen on doing so himself. The last thing he wants is for this group to recognize his family name and possibly spread the word that he's one of these weirdos. So, he uses the only other name he can think of off the bat. "My friends call me Peregrine, and the pleasure is all ours Ethan." He turns glances over his shoulder at his companions, "Well are ya'll ready to rock or what?" Then he turns back as the rest of Ethan's group starts gathering their weapons, "Hay now, are ya'll a bunch o bard-barians or somethin?""Oh Cerebrum I hate this dialect, but please let this work I really really don't want to get in a fight right now."
Seeing Ethan's friends reaching for their weapons, Zahira begins to feel even more concerned. It doesn't look like they are going to be able avoid the fight. But Ethan doesn't seem to want to follow his companions' steps just yet. Is there perhaps a chance that he convinces them to not fight? If the tiniest of possibilities exists, Zahira will hold on to it. So, same as Zephyro, she keeps with their little charade.
- Yeah!! Let's rock!! - she answers to Zephyro. And then looks at Ethan's friends and adds - Come on, guys, you're not going to spoil this party, right? Look at the great setup you've got here...! - and she points at the amp - That amp is impressive !!It must have been hard to come by!
"Ugh, I just want to go home," Kuro mutters quietly before eyeing the four who moved to grab their weapons. He cringes a little when Ethan says 'the cute one in the back', and lowers his head in hopes of hiding further behind his hood. This guy is such a creep. He tries to think of options, but finds himself at a loss. He really doesn't want to fight these people, and is seriously considering just making a break for it if fighting starts. He'd encourage the others to do the same. They aren't exactly on campus, and if these people are willing to fight then they are definitely doing something illegal. Maybe they should call the cops.... But then again, if they are here legally then it was their group that was here illegally, so calling the cops might be a bad idea. But...
What if he used prestidigitation to create the sound of sirens? It would be faint, but perhaps if they thought the cops were on the way then maybe they'll just try and get out. If it doesn't convince them, then he'll try and make it sound like the sirens were heading somewhere else.
Without taking his hands out of his pockets, or lifting his head, he casts prestidigitation...
(So with this, I know the spell can't really make the sound of blaring sirens. He's just trying to make it sound like there are sirens on the way. If this doesn't work then I'll rework this post.)
Ethan grinned from ear to ear, a slight frown however at seeing Kuro's lack of energy. He had nodded along with Zahira and Zephyro.
"Hell yeah! Let's make some noise! Peregrine huh? Bard-barians? Oh heavens nah! I ain't no bard or barbarian I just love to rock! Yeah listen to the cuties guys let's enjoy ourselves!"
It however hadn't changed a thing. The hostile air was around as they seemed more frustrated with Ethan's overall attitude.
"What?!"
It was than that the elf had spoken up and they seemed dead set on fighting rather intense even for just breaking in one could say.
"You forget why we are here.. Don't cha? We can't let them out of the building now.. Those were the orders for anyone who entered."
"Oh... That's disappointing... I just thought that maybe... Yeah.. I guess I did kinda forget the purpose of this."
Ethan had let out a long sigh with his shoulders slumped as he looked onto the party rather reluctantly.
OOC So for prestidigitation it is Somatic which actually does require he makes hand gestures and vocal too so he has to say words as well (Sorcerer can learn subtle spell however to do so quietly and such and is a useful meta magic for such situations!) He can still cast this if he wishes too but there is a good chance they may realize he casted something not a guarantee they know what cantrip unless they know of it themselves but they'll know he casted a spell certainly just fair warning ^~^
OOC: Ah, ok. I was trying to have him make smaller motions without removing his hands from his pocket, but if that's not going to work then Kuro's I'll have to think of something else. I'll update this post later to day to re-describe his actions with the archaic gestures in mind. ;)
Edit: okay, new idea...
Kuro raises a hand, muttering something unintelligible as he prepares prestidigitation. He makes no effort to hide it, instead opting to cast two different effects together. "They asked me to be in charge of special effects," he says reluctantly as a shower of sparks falls from a point near the ceiling. Just before the effect ends, the sound of distant sirens growing closer erupts from somewhere outside. When this happens, he lowers his hand and glances blankly in the direction of the sound.
"Haha! Oh yeah, let's party! ..." He trails off trying to come up with a new strategy. So these kids are working for someone, good to know. After Kuro's little affects demo, he continues. "Come on now. What other purpose is there to making music other than to make some noise? ...Ooohh, You all are making some tracks with some deep meanings or something aren't you?" As he talks, he takes one step back, not because he's scared. No, at this point he doesn't see a way out of a fight. So, now he will prepare for one with a stronger stance. He has no intention of backing down, if these people won't let his group play along with them, so be it. Then he hears the sirens. His grin fades as he looks towards the window. Who would have called the cops on them?
- Are those sirens?? Uh-oh, seems cops are coming this way!! What a bunch of party-poopers! We should all leave!
(OOC: I followed Rynn's example and rolled arcana to check if Zahira believes the sirens to be true. With an 8 I guess she's completely fallen for it. Can this help Kuro's action to be more believable in the eyes of Ethan & Friends?)
Ethan and the others had looked about shocked, the dwarf and Ethan began to pack things up quickly in a panic. The human hadn't even bothered instead he began to bolt out the backdoor were the students had came from. The elf however had raised his bow towards Kuro with a squinted and frustrated expression due to his human companion leaving.
"You sneaky little shit, trying to pull one over on me huh? And with a cantrip no less, Ethan! The siren's are bogus! Tsk, to think one of you just bolted out without a second thought.."
The elf seemed ready as Ethan looked at Kuro with a perplexed expression back to Zahira and to Zephyro. There was a sense of conflict in the tieflings eyes.
OOC
Elf's passive perception beat the sleight of hand and saw and was aware of that cantrip sadly! But they got rid of one!
- What? Bogus how? Come on, do we really have to do this...?- Zahira asks Ethan, unaware of what's has really happened. She still would have prefered to avoid the fight, but at least now the numbers where in their side.
Zephyro clenches his fists reflexively, though he manages to maintain a nervous grin. He glances back at Kuro. So he had cast a spell hadn't he...Well it was worth a try, though now they almost certainly won't get out of this without a fight. Might as well keep up the act though, It seems like they might be able to pull Ethan out of the fight with the right words. "Ah-ha, I-uh, I'm not really sure what's going on right now, but my friend back there really likes to play pranks....If you can't take a joke then I'm not sure I want you in my friend group. Hey Ethan, how about we ditch these buzz-kills and find an even better location to party? I have no clue what you all were trying to accomplish in here, but it doesn't seem like much fun anymore."

Persuasion: 6 (It looks like I still have inspiration from something? I think it was a d6? Might as well try to boost this terrible roll...) 2 so 8....*Sigh* oh well. lol

Kuro blinks, his face retaining the bored and blank expression he'd maintained through this entire exchange. He shrugs, "I don't want to be here." Then he glances at Ethan, then in the direction the human ran off in. Clearly they were doing something really shady if that guy thought it necessary to bolt like that. Great, that means they just walked right into something they won't be able to shrug off. Plus they still have three people to deal with so yeah, there's that too. Ugh, if only they'd just fallen for the sirens and run away... stupid elf. This would have worked if not for him. Now his attention is focused on Kuro... yay a new enemy, probably personal now too. Aaannd he's pointing a bow at him, how nice. This is why Kuro tries to avoid conflicts. It's so much easier to just look the other way, duck your head and keep walking. Why hadn't he followed his gut and gone home?
He huffs, glancing at his companions before looking back at Ethan. Clearly the guy was having second thoughts. As creepy as he is maybe they could convince him not to fight... ugh, but that involves talking to him... not Kuro's strong point. Zephyro doesn't seem to be doing to well on that front either, as he sound incredibly unconvincing. Kuro huffs again, mind straying to the ways in which his father might try to solve this. ...ugh, maybe the best thing to do now would be to call the police and tell them they were abducted by these weirdos. Of course, now there probably isn't enough time for that. Wonderful.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ethan's tail had flickered, a fanged grin to Zephyro appearing somewhat sorrowful in his glance. He gripped his fist before giving a sigh. The elf had placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Come on Ethan, you know what we gotta do. They'll kill you otherwise"
Ethan had let his tail rest against the cobbled floor of this strangely built warehouse, an exhale of breath before grinning once more with a fiery expression toward Zephyro.
"Yeah, I'm sorry for what I gotta do."
With that he had turned and arching his arm back he had swung at the elf!

Kuro blinks in mild surprise when Ethan punches the elf... well, regardless of who's side this guy is on there is no way Kuro's ever going to trust him. Not if he can be persuaded to betray his friends after such a poor attempt at persuasion on Zephiro's part. Whatever, at least they don't have to fight him too. Ugh, this is so annoying.
Kuro raises a hand towards the elf and casts fire bolt, sending a jet of flame towards the other spell caster:
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ethan had taken the chance to strike alongside Kuro, weaving his clawed hands at the air as scorch began to appear. Rays of fire had begun to burst forward!
The elf was struck but Kuro's bolt, dancing and weaving past two rays and only being grazed by a third (3 damage) though a bit burned he gave a chuckle.
"Don't know why they bothered recruiting you Ethan, this'll be easy! Kill him, than round the others up for questioning!
Zephyro is a bit surprised when Ethan actually does switch sides. He hadn't sounded all that persuasive, but maybe he just said the right words? Or does the tiefling just think he's that attractive...ugh. Probably best not to think about that now, he'll just have to deal with him later. What matters is that he had him on their side for now. "Hah! Nice one Ethan, Kuro. Now, let's teach these fella's not to mess with us!"The elf was clearly the leader of this group, taking him out first may make the other two think twice about following through with the attack. Better take him out fast though.
Whipping out his sickle, he dashes forward and dashes towards then around the other elf, slashing him along his side while positioning himself behind him. Then he raises his other hand and swings at the elf, trying to slam the back of his forearm into the elf's neck. After this second blow he swings his leg towards the his opponent's feet, attempting to trip him up. (Flurry of Blows.)
Zephyro had told Ethan nice one, but the tiefling had offered a false facade of a confident smile. It was clear he wasn't feeling too good about that scorching ray.
The elf was slashed by the sickle grunting in pain, however as Zephyro tried to trip him up and slam him with unarmed combat the nimble elf had ducked away. Jumping over his leg and twirling about, however he seemed to be bleeding pretty badly from the slash before.
"Damn it, get rid of this one first!"
With that the Dragonborn had flourished his longsword, coming in with shield in hand. He began to charge forward at Zephyro! Striking once before taking a deep breath and striking out again!

He had pulled a comb from his pocket with a single whip of his tail before combing it between his horns with a devilish grin. A pun that would most certainly.. Behoove a gentleman of such stature.

Kuro blinks in mild surprise when Ethan punches the elf... well, regardless of who's side this guy is on there is no way Kuro's ever going to trust him. Not if he can be persuaded to betray his friends after such a poor attempt at persuasion on Zephiro's part. Whatever, at least they don't have to fight him too. Ugh, this is so annoying.
Kuro raises a hand towards the elf and casts fire bolt, sending a jet of flame towards the other spell caster:
Attack: 20 Damage: 9
Ethan had taken the chance to strike alongside Kuro, weaving his clawed hands at the air as scorch began to appear. Rays of fire had begun to burst forward!

The elf was struck but Kuro's bolt, dancing and weaving past two rays and only being grazed by a third (3 damage) though a bit burned he gave a chuckle.
"Don't know why they bothered recruiting you Ethan, this'll be easy! Kill him, than round the others up for questioning!

Zephyro's turn!
Zephyro is a bit surprised when Ethan actually does switch sides. He hadn't sounded all that persuasive, but maybe he just said the right words? Or does the tiefling just think he's that attractive...ugh. Probably best not to think about that now, he'll just have to deal with him later. What matters is that he had him on their side for now. "Hah! Nice one Ethan, Kuro. Now, let's teach these fella's not to mess with us!" The elf was clearly the leader of this group, taking him out first may make the other two think twice about following through with the attack. Better take him out fast though.
Whipping out his sickle, he dashes forward and dashes towards then around the other elf, slashing him along his side while positioning himself behind him. Then he raises his other hand and swings at the elf, trying to slam the back of his forearm into the elf's neck. After this second blow he swings his leg towards the his opponent's feet, attempting to trip him up. (Flurry of Blows.)
Sickle to hit: 25

Zephyro had told Ethan nice one, but the tiefling had offered a false facade of a confident smile. It was clear he wasn't feeling too good about that scorching ray.
The elf was slashed by the sickle grunting in pain, however as Zephyro tried to trip him up and slam him with unarmed combat the nimble elf had ducked away. Jumping over his leg and twirling about, however he seemed to be bleeding pretty badly from the slash before.
"Damn it, get rid of this one first!"
With that the Dragonborn had flourished his longsword, coming in with shield in hand. He began to charge forward at Zephyro! Striking once before taking a deep breath and striking out again!

With that the elf had taken a deep breath himself, (Second wind) his bleeding had begun to slow down a bit with intense focus.

The elf had decided to move back away from Zephyro (Prompting an attack of opportunity from him)
He had taken his bow up firing once, before taking a deep breath and firing once more at Zephyro! (If he's KO'd at any point he'll fire at Ethan instead)
