Another bolt rings out, and a man outfitted in the same regalia as the Sergeant is blasted back around the corner and falls still. A woman follows around that same corner, about 25 feet away, stumbling blindly. Her face is badly burned, but you recognize Leilani from her clothes. As she begins to topple over, her coat goes taut as if some unseen hand was gripping her by the collar. A harsh voice hisses "Now. Where are they?"
Dekket unseathes his rapier and, not sure about what is holding Leilani walks over and makes a descending cut just behind her, trying to cut whatever is taking her by the collar.
"Now now.. that's no way to behave... " he says in loud voice.
There is a friend in peril.. he is not particulary hiding, in fact he is trying to attract the attention to him so others could sneak and surprise the bad guy... but there is the roll anyway :)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Dekket strolls up to Leilani's stricken form, and stabs at the air where it appears something is holding her up. To his surprise, the rapier finds flesh, and Leilani falls to the ground as a cry of pain comes seemingly from the air next to her.
I have placed you roughly where I thought you to be in the description, with Dekket up front, Orynn attempting to remain in the shadows, and the rest in the alley, but not immediately near Leilani. If you would consider yourself in a different location, you may say so, as long as you it makes sense with the discussion above. And yes, whatever was holding Leilani is still Invisible.
Orynn: 17
Dekket: 11
Arvel: 7
Cassandra: 5
Jun: 9
Leilani: 8 (not unconscious, but prone and wounded)
????: 13
You all understand that murder in Waterdeep is punished very harshly, and that the Watch is unlikely to look upon people standing around a dead body on the streets with mercy. In other words, a live body is likely to result in kinder treatment than a dead one. Whether your foe understand the same, or cares, is as of yet unknown...
Order after rolls:
Cassandra: 23
????: 22
Jun: 21
Orynn: 11
Dekket: 11
Arvel: 9
Leilani: 5 (not unconscious, but prone and wounded)
Hope those who celebrate it had a happy holiday yesterday! I have not forgotten, but since this has been over a holiday, we can wait a day or so longer before moving on in initiative.
Cassandra closes her eyes, frozen, horrified at what appears to be happening to a childhood friend. From the empty space where blood dripped from the rapier strike, a rapid incantations and a rustling of wind arise, and an explosion of patterns settles over the alley.
I would like a Wisdom saving throw from everybody, please. Orynn, since you were trying to hid in the dark portions of the alley, you may have advantage.
A cascade or swirling patterns explodes above the alley. Dekket stands transfixed by the colors, but Arvel and Orynn manage to shake off the mentally intrusive effect. Cassandra, with her eyes closed in despair, is similarly unaffected. While you have a rough idea where the incantations came from, you note with a small amount of unease that the source did not become visible.
Should Jun return, please provide that Wisdom save:
Cassie opens her eyes and sees that the only one of her companions to seem been affected by the spell is the tiefling, wich makes sense for he was closer enough to their enemy to have hurt him. She walks over Dekket and slaps him in the face, hoping that will make him snap out of the trance.
"Wake up! He is still around here!" she yells to the red skinned tiefling.

Orynn attempts to intuit where the unseen foe is located and fires an arrow. As it sails through the air, he ducks back into hiding and changes locations enough to continue to be hidden.
Longbow attack (my hiding advantage being cancelled by the disadvantage of attacking an invisible foe): 10; Damage: 8 piercing damage
Blinking and focusing his gaze once again, thanks to Cassie's slap on his face, the tiefling smiles at her while unsheating his short sword.
" I am pretty sure I do not deserve that one, but it's the one I happily accept! Thanks!" says to her with a wink and then moves forward trying to hit the mischevious Trapp again with his weapons.
"Come on! " he says to the thin air "Be brave and come visible. You don't want to rot in the street where no one can see you don't you? "
Attack: 8 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
BA:
Attack: 8 Damage: 6
He then moves next to a wall to have his back against it and not disperse the party a little so Trapp couldn't take them all with a single spell.
If not, just for RP..

Understood. I thought you were trying to sneak up on whatever might be holding Leilani. In that case, an attack roll, at disadvantage, please.
you got it:
Attack: 22 Damage: 7

OOC: Jun's player has been MIA for quite a while.
Dekket remains still, his arms limp at his sides, looking at the display of colors with no expresion at all in his face.
Aaand that's his turn XD
It was too much to hope for a natural 1 on his concentration check after the extreme lucky attack roll of Dekket ;)

Dekket snaps out of his stupor, no longer entranced by the pattern.
Everybody has a turn now. The opponent is still invisible, but you can all perceive it is near Leilani, within your movement distance.
