Yeah if Scupper's scouting on the rooftops Zhudala is definitely making herself aware to him for coordination. She looks to see which roof he and Strix are perched on and chooses one down the corner that gives her an additional vantage point.
"Gatter; Inky. Not in the habit of doing stupid things to get myself killed, personally."
Dekhan looks at Gatter Well met, Gatter, I’m Otter, as you know. Anything else you can tell us that might help this lot keep their heads? Some of us would forget our heads if they weren’t screwed on, but what we lack in organization we make up for in intestinal fortitude and willingness to get things done.
Gatter looks at you for a moment. You lads... together then? Known each other long? Look, just do as you're told. We don't want to attract any attention until this place is properly burning up, right? Lackley will be back soon with the gear, and then we get to it, nice and simple, then split up and head back to base. And don't say things like 'intestinal fortitude' when Lackley is around - he might just punch your lights out for the fun of it.
Not sure if ye can hear me through yer bird but we never really said what the plan is. Fighting here might bring about a dozen more, then again tis might not be the actual hideout and jest a checkpoint to lose tails. If ye find yer going inside we donna what te do, jest like.
Scupper, you really don't see anything that you think would be useful.
Incantis, Gatter replies: About two months. Joined early, though not as early as some. Lackley was a week ahead of me. Still early days, kid. You're getting in at the right time. Plenty of advancement. We're gonna be big. Hells, we're already big. Whole city's shitting itself about us, and that's just the start, I reckon.
Dekhan nods Stick to small words for old Gatter, then, got it, wouldn't want to be misunderstood. With the watch house gone, what are our top targets? Dekhan smiles Or will this just be a bit of mayhem?
Watch house? Heh, right, that thing at the docks. Funny you should mention that, but...
Gatter is interrupted as Lackley reenters the alley, carrying a heavy backpack by the straps. Gatter stops talking to watch him as he walks up.
It's on, Lackley says. He opens up the backpack to reveal multiple clay flasks that you can see contain oil. Get to work. No flames yet. Just cover the walls with oil and wait for my signal.
The men with Lackley, including Gatter, grab flasks of oil and start dousing the back walls of the houses and other buildings with it. Lackley and one other stand at the mouth of the alley, blocking the view from the street beyond as much as they can.
Are there any horse troughs or rainwater open casks anywhere nearby? This is very clearly NOT the hideout.
Scupper preps an arrow and gets ready to drop Lackley the minute he attempts to light any kind of flint, torch, or smokestick, or throw an alchemist fire...
Looking very carefully at his body language... looking to see if he prepares, steps back, warns anyone in the gang. If there's about to be fire, he gets an arrow.
Dekhan will look towards the mouth of the alley and say Who's there? Show yourself, or choke on your own blood! Dek is trying to get the drop on Gatter and get Vaz and Incantis behind him before attacking Gatter
(OOC: It's best if you all roll, so you can step in if you wish. Those of you up in the rafters do have a clear view of what's happening, and can choose what you do...)
I imagine Zhudala is following along with you; if Scupper looks up, he will see her after a few moments.
Make an Investigation check for Scupper to look at the roof above where the others are waiting with their new gang buddies.

There are not, or at least you can't see them from where you are.
Make an Insight check to read Lackley's body language.
