Ember leaps and rolls off his perch as one of the dark forms tried to throw a net over the fairy. With an unheard grunt, Ember barely escapes being netted as he keeps moving to be less of a target.
(( Hence why Ember rolled and got a 13... which I assumed was not really a dodge action as much as... bad guy threw a net and Ember rolled a 'not snagged'. Which I suppose could be an evasion or twisty squirming? ))
The Wiz leaps from his spot at the door, where he jams himself against it to prevent the bandit and thug from fleeing.
"Talk! Who sent you? Why are you here? Why did you kill my hat?" The Wiz shouts between curses, all of which go unheard due to the magical silence as he points his finger at them with tears in his eyes, then pointing at his hat still pinned to the wall.
Alexia sheathes her sword, but takes out a dagger and begins twirling it. She waits patiently for the spell to wear off and the would-be assassins to talk.

After about a minute you begin to perceive small sounds, the creak of leather, heavy breathing, the crickets by the window. The thugs look at each other and shrug, "Hey, we was just tryin ta get new fighters for the arena. We wasn't gonna kill you or nothin'."
"Yeah, yeah, just like that."

Alexia perks up at the mention of an arena. "Arena? As in, combat for glory, people betting on me?"

She yawns. "You could have at least waited to kidnap us until we'd gotten some sleep."

"Yeah, I'm up for some arena fighting. What's the prize?" Alexia continues twirling her dagger in boredom.

Meanwhile, from the nested sheets in one corner of the room comes a loud noise... as if a yackle has a sinus condition. Or a particulare fairy in the grip of an interrupted slumber.
"Okay, last question." As The Wiz goes to pull the dart out of his hat, freeing it from the wall. "Which one of you killed my hat?" The Wiz says as his expression darkens with deep shadows cast by torchlight. He holds the dart up, trying to determine its owner with icy blue eyes that lance into their very souls.
Ember - Dex Save: 13

OOC: Ember is Dodging? Grey can try to break free of the net.
The badly bleeding Thug and the Bandit are looking a little unsure of themselves. You can tell they expected your party to be an easy mark.

Athletics: 12
"I think I'll take you lot to the arena, though seeing as how you fight, I will certainly be betting against you."
Intimidation: 4
Midway through his threat he yawns, though not out of boredom, but tiredness, must likely losing his gusto.
"Why not just offer to pay us to fight? We rock!" The Wiz says as he gestures to the dead guy on the ground. "Is... is there pay? I'm so poor."
