Kitaer would be standing in the mouth of the alley between building A & B, trying to stick to the shadows and moving a bit further back when the patrol is due to pass by... Otherwise he is waiting til he sees something... And when he gets the night vision from Vesna he grips his axe tightly as he eyes these strange creatures. Then, suddenly, "Where did they go? They were right there... Weren't they??"
When the figures behind the bars fade out of existence, A faint sinister giggling can be heard in the wind. Darkvision allows the party to see into the darkness in shades of black and gray... but does little to ease your fears of what my lurk in the darkness....
Daryos and Kitaer lose sight of figures in the darkness completely... no longer able to see the creatures at all but the sound of giggling sounds as though it is coming from everywhere....
Vesna and Nesyax both notice that now, from under the bridge... three sets of inverted smiles glisten in the darkness. The creatures don't seem to notice the party and seem to be mostly concerned with the the patrol on top of the ramparts. They appear to be waiting for them to pass once more before making their way out from under the bridge as they continue to cast glances upwards....
Stasyn also sees the three figures under the bridge. As he focuses on the creatures in the darkness, his large ears twitch as he hears the sound of footsteps coming from the second floor of one of the abandoned houses (house B).
Nesyax had taken a position not far from where Kitaer had. (Between buildings A and B.) She continues to keep her eyes on the creatures as she spots them beneath the bridge. She tries to recollect ever reading or hearing about such creatures. (INT check: 1)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Daryos too stays close to Kitaer, in fact he would suggest the team stays fairly close together. He keeps trying to spot the minions of the Bone Collector which hopefully is made easier with the darkvision granted by Vesna. Perception: 12 + Guidance: 3
Daryos now sees three figures in the dark under the bridge as his eyes adjust to the darkness and aid of darkvision. The smiling goblin-like creatures appear to have twisted heads and appear to be waiting for the patrol to pass up on the ramparts before they continue to move. He also notices the giggling in the wind but isn't exactly sure where it is coming from.
The young white-haired noble discreetly and quietly points out to the others what he has spotted, ready to attack as soon as the patrol on the rampart has passed.
"I didn't see them move either," Nesyax replies. "It seemed they were at the gate one moment then under the bridge the next. Maybe magic?"
She is waiting too for the moment the guards are past. Hopefully they can follow their moves this time. And they don't just suddenly appear on top of the party.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Vesna glances around, her skin prickled as she hears the sinister giggling. Where is it coming from? Concentrating, the cleric tries to find out where the noise might be coming from. In the meantime, she waits just like her fellow adventurers.

He will move closer to his companions "I hear someone moving on the second floor of the abandoned house nearby. I don't know if they are just another unfortunate soul or something else. I can create an illusory bone by the opening to lure them out where we can then pounce on them." whispers Stasyn.
The group of guards approach upon the ramparts as the sound of giggling temporarily fades. The six armored men are very quiet with only the sound of their boots and the light from their torches revealing their presence. Two of the men have bullseye lanterns that they use to cast spotlights down towards the base of the wall both inside and out. The lights sways in the darkness, sliding overtop of the bridge and across the road in front of the buildings and alley ways where the party hides. The light sticks to the open spaces and avoids shining into the spaces where creatures would likely hide... as though the guard holding it was hoping to avoid making any discovery that might mean that they would have to leave the safety of the wall.
The three creatures watch silently as the patrol passes by before the turn again and begin looking roughly in the direction of the party. At the same time, the giggling starts once again as the bright sharp-toothed smiles return to the creatures faces. From under the bridge, the 3 creatures emerge but stick to the stream. They do not climb up on to the road but instead, walk through the filthy water and begin to trudge single file farther into the quarantine zone. While they walk, they look around scanning the darkness and whispering into the darkness....
Stasyn hears the sounds of footsteps above begin to hasten and move towards wall facing the water above them
OOC: Those that speak goblin
You hear one of the goblins whisper "Hey... Where'd ya go? Quit showing off and get over here before someone sees ya..."
Kitaer, not understanding what the creatures are, is confused and frustrated that he cannot tell how they got here. He freezes for a bit as the guards are shining their lights around but relaxes once they seemingly move on. "Footsteps?" he asks in a whisper and listens closely even as he keeps an eye on the strange creatures.
"Hey! They're calling out," he says, still in a whisper, and translates...
((Are the upstairs ones calling out to the ones by the water? I am unclear on that.))
"I believe whoever is upstairs nearby is also interested in the bone collector minions or us. I hear them rushing to the side of the building facing the water." whispers Stasyn. He will prepare himself to follow the decisioners lead.
The goblins continue to move through the water and before long, you all hear whispers in the wind, this time coming from above. The language is the same the words spoken by the creatures that had come from the tunnel.

"yeah yeah... You're just mad cause we're better at jumpin around than you are..."
There is then the sound of scratching and clawing above and a few giggles before you no longer hear any movement upstairs.
"They... jumped?" Kitaer questions aloud, in a hush, but also translates for the others. "Did they somehow 'jump' through the bars? Into the building?"
The minotaur gives a quick shake of his head as if to clear his thoughts then looks to the others. "We trying to follow or we attacking?"

As she notices the movement in the darkness, Vesna carefully shifts and looks around her, casting Eyes of Night on Daryos, Kitaer and Stasyn.
