The two men get in the boat and start rowing towards the city. 

Molly can't hear their converstation but she can say that someone is cooking some bacon and eggs inside the house if she has to trust her nose. 

They move towards the house, appartently unnoticed and reach the porch. 

( Who enters first? How do you plan to do it? And yes... the lake is really huge, and navigable, you'll need some days to cross it on boat to see the other side Remember that we have a map at the campaign page. ;) )

Kyne crouches around the longer, rear side of the building and points up at the chimney stack. He beckons Mathilda close and scratches a message in the dirt.

Can you climb up there and then down the chimney?

He nods at Moltaris and indicates that she should link minds with Mathilda, so that the small girl can communicate with them from inside.

"I will try.." she sends to Kyne, "but the talent only works if I can see her... Plus there's the fire... What if she drops a smoke bomb down the chimney and then I kick the door down and go get some of that bacon?"

Mathilda leans towards Kyne. She nods briefly, but points up at the smoke from the chimney and then presses her lips together, shaking her head. If I just climb in there, I'll end up exactly like the bacon I'm smelling now! 

Mathilda risks a peek around the corner to the front side of the house to see if there are any other windows she could spy through and to discern more about the door.

That's a good plan, Kyne thinks back at Moltaris. Unless in the end we just can't see them? Either way, I'll go in the front with you. My magic is best suited to a frontal assault.

Molly waves Lyreis and Hurosk over and relays the basic points of the plan in quick whispers.

"Mathilda drops the smoke bomb. One of us kicks the door down - probably Captain Tightpants there if he isn't too tired from last night" - she drops a tiny grin towards Kyne to deflect the barb a bit - "then we go through. One shooter should probably try for a window to keep the door from getting jammed." She glances to Lyreis and Hurosk for them to decide between them.

Once everyone in the huddle is ready, Molly establishes her mind link with Mathilda and asks, "What if you climb up and drop one of those smoke bombs down the chimney?"

The effort to refrain from laughing at "Captain Tightpants" is visible on Lyreis' face. "I'll go in the front door, ok Hurosk?"

Hurosk motions that he will circle around and cover the back entrance. 

Kyne also suppresses a chuckle, in spite of himself. Molly gave as good as she got. He nods in agreement to the plan and begins to creep towards the door with Lyreis.

Mathilda takes a quick glance at the roof and then nods. Not much of a climb, should be a piece of cake - wait, did I just hear her in my head? What? She shivers.

Silently drawing his weapon from it's sheath across his back the battlemaster moves in, low and a little off centre from the door, giving Kyne enough room to knock the door in before he begins his own charge. In elvish he whispers "Door, then step back, I'll go first, be my shadow."

Kyne nods, in understanding. He grasps a handful of grass on his way around and the thin blades crinkle and smoulder, before slowly blossoming into flame. He holds the floating ball of fire in the palm of his hand, ready to draw from it and throw spells over Lyreis's shoulder.

Carefully picking her way up the rear wall of the house, the little girl disappears out of sight of the group as she climbs on the roof. She stays low, just in case those two rowers should glance back the the house. Having reached the chimney, she glances down the front side of the house and drops the smoke bomb once everyone looks ready on the ground. Mathilda is so focused that she forgets about how creepy she felt a moment ago when she heard Moltaris' voice in her head... as if the scary one was not scary enough, adding magic has done nothing to make Mathilda feel more at ease.

Molly replies to Mathilda, "Yes, you can hear me, and I'm sorry I forgot to warn you. You're doing very well..."

The little black-clad cleric stands ready just behind Kyne and Lyreis, shield ready and holy symbol beginning to glow with a glimmer of radiant energy...

The young rogue find several points in the stones that made the wall of the house that are fir for her nimble, yet strong, fingers to get a hold and start climbing. She uses the corner between the chimmeny and the wall to get a better point to climb up. She can feel the stone of the chimmeny hotter that the wall's but is nothing uncomfortable. Just a minute later she is on the roof of the house, crouched near the smoking end of the chimmeny ready to drop the bomb to create a distraction for the elves to kick the door open. 

Once she confirms that she is ready Moltaris gives her the go and she drops it. Just a second passes when the ceramic ball hits the stone below and suddenly a great smoke column raises from the chimmeny, and Mathilda has to drop to her knees in the roof to avoid it. 

Lyreis and Kyne kick the door wich opens with a sound crack of broken wood and storm inside the house! 

Hurosk sees how the smoke fills the room, and a couple of figures that tries to get clear of it, coughing and waving their arms. One goes towards his window and tries to open it. 

Inside the house the smoke quickly fills the room. It's not too heavy and they can see the shadows of some forniture, a table, some chairs.. but they see two humanoids figures trying to get clear of the smoke cloud. One goes towards the window they know it's cover by Hurosk, the other one seems to have notice that the door has been broken and opened. 

Initiative 6

(So the window is still closed?)

(It's going to be open on the initiative count of him. Speaking of wich...

Intiative1: 12

Initiative2: 17 ) 

"Ai! That bomb really worked!" Lyreis pulls up moving to the side quickly as the billowing smoke clogs the room to allow Kyne clearer access through the door and the spluttering figure inside. "Can you drop him from here? If not I'm going in." Lyreis prepares himself for action, ready to avoid any possible attacks.

OOC Lyreis uses dodge as an action.

Kyne nods to Lyreis, rolling the ball of flame he is holding between his palms. First slowly, then ever faster as the energy builds. With a sudden snatching motion he steps up and throws his hand out towards the closer of the two figures. A searing ray of fire streaks out through the smoke, slamming into the torso of his target. He throws a second and then a third, lighting up the room in sudden flashes as they go.

As the last ray fades, he carefully draws Daedagnir with his free hand, watching for possible retaliation.

As the rays from Kyne's fiery blasts fade, a pale greenish glow begins to emanate from Moltaris' shield. A ghostly, skeletal hand strokes the back of the closest target with the gentlest of caresses. Cold and emptiness and the utter loss of all hope are all in that silky stroke that wracks the thug's body with cold pain.
