Keep an eye on potentially being attacked by the creature but otherwise be prepared to lunge through the door as circumstances allow. Otherwise do nothing.
Keep an eye on potentially being attacked by the creature but otherwise be prepared to lunge through the door as circumstances allow. Otherwise do nothing.
[OOC: I will take this as meaning that Guilliame readies a Move action to carry the body out through the door if the opportunity allows.]
The creature has the higher Initiative and moves before Guilliame in the round.
Creature's attack against the male guard: 17 ; Damage (if successful) :6]
]
Guilliame sees the creature strike out at the male guard with one of its claws and sees it tear jagged rents in the man's armour drawing blood.
[
Guard's attack:9; Damage (if successful):4
]
Desperately, the man strikes back, but his blade fails to find the flesh of his too-quick opponent. He then turns to run, finally realising the wisdom of Guilliame's shout.
[
Creature's Attack of Opportunity against the fleeing guard:16; Damage (if successful):5
]
A raking claw finds the man's side as he turns to run and he falls into the arms of his handleader, who quickly drags him outside.
Turning to glare at Guilliame for a split second, the creature then leaps away from the door.
[Stealth roll:6]
However, while it might be out of view from the door, it is in plain sight to him and it is clearly preparing itself to attack anyone who might come in through the door.
Given this chance, Guilliame quickly drags the man's body out of the shop where he sees that the handleader has hastily picked up the crossbow.
Push the body through the doorway but stay in it trying to block anyone coming through.
"If we seal the door and noone else tries to enter it will be alright. That creature has been there since Master Fini left days ago and only harms those who try to enter."
To the woman. "We need to seal this door and things will be fine."
Guilliame hefts the dead body unceremoniously out onto the street and then stands in the doorway of the Fini's shop and says his piece.
[OOC: Male guard's death save:17]
The handleader, crossbow in hand, looks at Guilliame as if he is crazy. "But that thing has already killed a man and now it has hurt one of my men," she says and then she kneels down next to her fellow guard who is bleeding heavily from this wounds. Putting down the crossbow, she attempts to staunch the flow of blood.
[OOC: Handleader's Medicine check to stabilise the fallen guard:15]
Guilliame hears the rumbling growl of the creature behind him as the handleader sees to her fallen man.
"He will live," says the handleader, her hands now covered with the man's blood. Then she turns to the two remaining men who have been brave enough to stand their ground and adds, "Someone go and get help."
After one of the men heads off, Guilliame becomes suddenly aware that he can no longer hear the creature behind him.
Step out of the doorway and close the door as best as possible and hold it closed.
"Like I said it won't come out here to attack unless attacked or the building further damaged. I suggest we make sure this door is securely shut and that Master Fini is contacted. Maybe someone should stay on guard to prevent people trying to get in in the meanwhilst."
The handleader looks up at Guilliame, who has pulled the door to behind him, and says, "That is not for you to say." Then she thinks for a moment and adds, "I will have to contact my superiors. This is above my level of responsibility."
The handleader then gets distracted as the male guard lets out a deep groan.
Behind him Guilliame can hear a cat meowing from inside the shop.
[OOC: Guilliame gains 50 experience points for the encounter, which I have added to his character sheet.]

OOC I am definitely logged in but I can't see all the entries on the homepage including the name of the messanger services that I used to.
[OOC: I think this is due to a combination of my reorganising and a World Anvil change. If you type "Wing & Prayer" into the search box, does it come up for you? If it does, then you should also be able to find it through digging down in the 'Locations & Nations' category, though the link to it might appear inside the entry for 'Scholar's Ward' rather than appearing in the left-hand panel; you might need to scroll down to find it.]
"You do that," says the handleader. "I will arrange for this door to be barricaded shut tonight and will find out what my superiors want done in the longer term. Now, what is your name citizen, and where might we find you?"

"My name is Guilliame da Marchant and you can find me just over there in Masterful mixtures. Good evening officer."
OOC It does come up in a search but I couldn't remember the name so that wasn't going to help. It doesn't appear on or under the Scholar's ward page or under Locations and nations as far as I can see.
[OOC: The depth of the table of contents on the left-hand side seems to be limited. If you click on 'Locations and Nations', then 'Engle', then 'Constantine', then 'Scholar's Ward' you will end up on a page that gives a brief introduction to that area of Constantine. If you scroll down on this page, you will see buttons for articles under this section, one of which should be 'Wing & Prayer Messenger Service'. Please let me know if you cannot see this.]
The handleader nods at Guilliame's words and then says, "Thank you for your assistance, Master de Guilliame. Someone will contact you tomorrow, no doubt."
Guilliame heads off up the street to his own home where he finds the door locked.

"I have boiled the kettle for char," she says over her shoulder. "Do you want one? I certainly do."
