Dzenda: The Cracks

Lila sighs. "Hope you're able to pick up on this, handsome," she mutters, lifting her crossbow and firing at Mr. Righteous Anger.

Attack: 16 Damage: 5

As she fires, she stands, tossing back the hood of her cloak and shifting her appearance that of the man she just shot, making sure they see the actual shift. "Hey uglies! Heard you don't like 'unsanctioned' magic users. Come get me!" She starts to back towards the middle of the roof, watching to see if the guards are taking the bait.

(OOC: HOW is the cleric still alive!?)
Brock would snarl as Valen grabs his shoulder, preparing to swing at the new combatant only to stop the punch just before it connected with his friends face. In an instant he would spin around and whip another dart towards the cleric before attempting to stomp the knee of the closest guard. "I WILL NOT GIVE IN, I AM NOT GETTING PUNISHED FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING! NOT AGAIN!" He would shout at the top of his lungs as spit flies from his lips. His face red with anger and veins bulging across his forehead and neck.

Dart Attack: 18 Damage: 7
Kick 8 Damage: 6

(OOC HOLY SHIT EVERY DART HAS DONE MAX DAMAGE :D)

OOC just realised all those dart attacks should be at disadvantage because you are in melee, obviously I've missed the last couple and Lika's shot killed him so I'll leave it but something to think about next time unless I've missed something.

The cleric drops to his knees the bolt sticking out of his neck, he holds on just in time to see Lila's change then points at her, rage in his eyes before slumping dead to the floor. W5 sees this happen and decides not to continue trying to imprison Wallis with the manacles he'd been reaching for instead backing carefully away (disengage) ten feet. W1 pays no attention and attempts to thump Brock 8 for 4. W4 curses his partner for leaving him with Wallis and then decides to back away carefully too.

Wallis is up. 

Wallis seeing Brock isn't going to back down removes her bow and knocks an arrow holding her attack for the next person who raises a hand tl fight.

"Let us go and you'll live," Wallis growls low her face red with angry! "You...let's get out of here," she then demands of Brock!

(OOC I didn't think I was within melee range of the cleric, just the guards. If I had realized that I would have just punched him. Since the cleric is dead, turn that into a punch.. it uses all the same modifiers for me. :P)

Brocks kuckles would be bloodied as he turns his head to wallis after swinging wildly at the guards closest to him. "They will say WE started this.. WE will be punished for protecting the poor citizens of the cracks from these *****!" Bock would say with a snarl. "I say we finish them off or force them to strip down and let the villagers have them!" He would say gesturing to the beaten and blooded villagers scattered around them.

"Yeah, so what?" Lila mumbles under her breath. "Can you take the damn hint and get away while they're distracted and nervous, before reinforcements get here?"

"I think leaving them is a bad idea... we have the upper hand and they know it..." Brock would spit towards the feet of one if the guards. "Remember who started this fight.."He would shout pointing towards the guards... "And who finished it!" He would say pointing to himself before running to join the others in the alley, moving quickly away from the fight.

The Watchmen who have survived regroup around the fallen cleric blowing frantically on their whistles trying to get backup to arrive. In the distance the party hear two other whistles from different directions on the far side of the area reply.

Standing in the alley (and on the roof of the nearby building) the party could be fairly certain that if they don't move within the next ten seconds or so more Watchmen will arrive. 

Brock will dash away as quickly as possible, ducking between people and his way as far away as he could from the scene if the fight. 

Lila grinds her teeth. "This better work," she mumbles, taking off across the rooftops after Brock and shooting Watchman Valen a look. She yanks her hood up as she runs, shifting her features quickly into a nondescript girl with mousey brown hair and green eyes.

Wallis stows her bow and runs in a different direction than everyone else. Wallis runs hard until she can't recognize her surroundings.

OOC: Uh WTF Wreck lol way to start a fight....

       "Well done, men. We've run them off," Valen gives the watchmen a wink dashes off down the ally after Brock. With some cover from the shadows in the alley, the warlock's form suddenly blinks from existence as he goes invisible.

(Cast Invisibility)

Lila frowns as she sees Wallis run in a different direction and switches to follow the ranger, still sticking to the rooftops. "What're you doing?" she mutters.

OOC: With Cunning Action Dash, Lila should be able to catch up with and keep up with Wallis

Brock would sprint away from the fight as adrenaline continues to pump through his veins. Thinking if a quick spot to hide, he immediately remembers the last thing they found that had been hidden. "The crack..." He would mutter in between heavy breaths. Tearing off in that direction, the muscular monk would slow down before reaching the edge of the hole before grabbing the ledge and lowering himself down. Once down in the whe, he would move just out of sight if those in the street.. Waiting for the others to show up and thinking about a new tattoo..

     A few moments later Brock hears footsteps rapidly approaching. "You.. are.. a hard one... to keep up with," Valen says from the top of the entrance to the crack. He climbs down, still invisible. "My, that was exciting, huh?" he quips finally revealing himself. With another deep breath, he changes back to his usual appearance. "So, I hope the ladies know where to find us."

OOC: Would Wallis notice Lila following via the roof tops?

OOC presumably Lila is trying to avoid attention. She is faster than you though so I'll let Books decide how Lila makes contact. 

Brock would still be breathing hard when his friend materialized next to him. "JEZ! Don't sneak up on me like that..." Brock would say with a start before slapping Valen on the shoulder and shooting him a grin. "Yeah... I just kind of took off running to the first good hiding spot I could think of. I figured if a dead body could stay hidden down here with a bunch of people looking for it, maybe we could too.. well... at least long enough for the patrols to die down." Brock would say looking to his friend. Then a moment later he would smile. "Did you see how hard I hit those guards! I bet I knocked out at LEAST six of them back there!" He would say with a wink.

After a few minutes of running, Lila shifts her face back to normal before she drops down from the rooftops and moves alongside Wallis, hood still up (but Wallis should be able to see her). "Hey...got anywhere in mind you're running to?" she asks gently.
