“May I ssugesst that you sstart a fire in that sstable over there? That should provide him with the disstraction he needss. More than raining sswordss I musst ssay. But be hassty”  the yuan-ti says to the others.

As the four guards approach, Onyx yells out, "gentlemen I only wish to leave this city, wouldn't you rather me take my chances with the wild, unless you want to take your chances with me!" He puts a hand covered by his cloak on the handle of his short sword, and if a guard gets close enough as he draws his sword hitting him with the butt end in the face. 

Then casting Fog Cloud to cover the area and break for the near by woods. 

(Let me know what rolls to make)

Despite the warning, the guards move in, brandishing their blades and raising their shields. "Come quietly or we will use force!"

(You have advantage, roll to hit)

The crackling intensifies quickly before a fire bolt launches from my hand without a word toward Hardal’s owl  

Attack: 14 Damage: 4

(OOC: I had another roll after this one I deleted because it wasn’t relevant. Threw the error after the edit.)

"HA Lets Party!" I strike the closest guard with the hilt of my sword as i draw it.

Strike with advantage: Attack: 24 Damage: 5

immediately after I'll cast Fog Cloud and try to get away past the gate.  

The yuan-ti slowly retreats into the shadows of the trees, not wanting to be involdved just watch how everyone behaves.

The magic sparks at the ground where you were standing as smoke gushed out from there, practically covering the gate and everyone there. As you dash out of there you note a small thing in the sky catch fire, dropping a longsword to a group not too far from you. You can see in the distance a few familiar faces you've spied on at the tavern.

Moe quickly moves further down the road away from the gate - thankful for whatever has the guards occupied. He wanders a bit off the road, as if he is looking for wild mushrooms or herbs for his next daily special, all the while keeping an eye back towards the gate. He wonders why some of his party are so concerned with this poor, unknown schmuck about to get hauled off to the clink.

I turn to Hardal. “Sorry mate, but best we don’t draw attention to ourselves by dropping bloody swords on top of the guard.....” Noticing the  proximity the sword did fall to guard makes me uncomfortable. I’m going to try hiding in the trees for now. 

Stealth: 10 Adv: 4 

Hardal looks at the cloud of smoke coming from the gate as he summon his weapon back to his hand.

"No time to argue, follow the tiefling to the forest."

Hardal runs as quiet as he could with his heavy armor.

Holissa

"This group won't last til the end of this mission like this."  She thinks She begins walking away swiftly, but not too fast as she acts like she has nothing to do with going ons.

Once clear of the fog and down the road a ways, Onyx notices some of the faces and crew scattering into the woods as his actions have drawn more attention than necessary. Once in ear shot of them, Onyx will call out "Sorry for being late to the game, I uhh.. had some last minute arrangements to take care of before heading out, Glad I could meet up with you all before things really get exciting." He just waits for an answer as he crouches along the tree line with the Tiefling and Gith, as they are the first he sees.

Valrakas 

“the **** is wrong with you, mate? Trying to bring the whole city guard down on our head before the job has even started?” I watch to see if the guard has given chase to Onyx. 

"From what, a little knock to the face and fog? what would you have done differently pal? As far as they are concerned I'm out of the city and on my way else where." Onyx retorts to the tiefling Valrakas. 

OOC: Pass without Trace is still active on everyone except for Onyx, so that 9 is a 19, Hardal. :)

IC: Pavla follows the others, head shaking.

I glare at Onyx. ”You think the city guard is going to overlook your indiscretions? They’re going to be looking for you to come back in. It was hard enough for you to get out. How do you plan on getting back in?” 

"With a little luck of course, and besides if we happen to steal a caravan, we should have some place to hide inside the carriages." Onyx says with a little laugh. "How did you get out so easily if they are looking for criminals and the likes of us??" He adds at the end as if to question her criminal background and stature within the underground. 

Turning to the rest of the group, "So...What plan have you all come up with for acquiring this caravan?" 

(No need for stealth)

The gate is still a mess as the smoke caused the gate to go in an uproar. People panicking and being frightened by the criminal man taking off. You all see no guards come out of the smoke, probably dealing with the mess there.

As you all make your way for the woods, you note that not many people care to look at you all. Either the fact that there were no wanted posters of you outside in the wild or that seeing a group of cloaked criminals is not that different from a group of cloaked hunters. Regardless, no one stops you as you all settle into the side of road, hidden by the trees. The road is lazily filling people walking out, but no caravans have appeared yet.

"Who said anything about 'acquiring' a caravan." Moe steps out of the shadows of the trees and reveals his true form - a green dragonborn - now that the danger of being spotted has passed. His voice takes on a more rough quality, "Instructions were merely to take down a caravan, leave none alive and keep what we want. Don't see any need to drag a wagon back into town." 

Onyx answers the dragonborn with a notion of having been doing this a long time "Well guess you don't see the positive in everything. Carvan on the side of a busy trade route brings questions, bringing it back into the city where it can be left for sometime with no questions being drawn to it, it's one thing to commit a crime another to commit and get away."
