"Let's look for buildings nearby that we might gain access to."

Tyde looks in all directions for the best options.

(Perception (if needed): 14 

(Okay. I guess that negated nearly 65% if not all Xanranzan did last. But, that's alright.)

"Sounds good to me. 'fraid they had me knocked out before I got here, so I don't know much of the lay out, to say the least." Xanranzan admits, and probably forgetting the fact that he might've already mentioned as much. He joins in looking around from their new vantage point, then whispers afterwards, "Do any of you got some paper and maybe at least charcoal to actual draw a map?"

Perception: 15.

"Let's go then." Rubin agrees, following as the others lead on to one of the buildings.

You all manage to make it up the to the other wall without any issues.  The guard hasn’t noticed you yet.

Tyde will try to approach unnoticed.

Stealth: 17 

"Quick and quiet should get the job done."

Rubin prepares, again, to shoot the guard if his companions fail to take him out quietly.

"Tippity Toe, nice and slow~" Xanranzan whispered in agreement while creeping along with the others.

Stealth: 29.

And if able to get close, and the guard has no armor, he makes sure to use the saw tooth one first. But, would wait for Kethra to do the initiating honors if able to get close enough himself.

Nodding at the others to take care of the next guard, she then drags the body away to ground level somewhere out of sight of the other guard.

Once she finished tying up the guard, Kethra would catch up, looking slightly miffed that the other guard is still there. Following Xanranzan's cue, she'll use a reaver longsword if this guard has no armor, but will draw the other guard's shortsword if he does have armor.

Stealth, with Pass Without Trace 12

(Edit) If this isn't a group check, Kethra fumbles between the two swords she has, dropping the shortsword like a clutz. In a panic, she waves for everyone else to back off and let her get caught.

Kethra drops the sword, and the guard begins to turn around, confused.

(Can has a chance to act before he notices her fully)

(Xan.  Autocorrect . . .)

(Xan can can! Maybe.)

Xan acts fast thinking the dropping swords to be some clever ruse, and tries slapping the guard around with the flat of his blades. Well, try to anyways, but those Saw Tooth blade was rather vicious looking, and he could only hold back so much. If able to pull off a pummel strike with his off-hand, than that one is definitely meant to knock the guard out. He's unable to catch him as smoothly as Kethra though. So if he falls, well... well maybe someone else will catch him!

Action: Attack w/ Saw Tooth Blade.
To Hit: 20 For: 10 non-lethal slashing damage.
If Unarmored, an additional 7 damage.

Bonus Action: Attack w/ Off-Hand Longsword. If able to get off hand.
To Hit: 7 For: 10 non-lethal slashing damage.

The guard rocks with the force of the blow, but just barely manages to stay conscious.

Initiative: 6

Kethra: 7

Tyde: 20

Sorak: 13

Rubin: 13

Xan: 8

(Rubin is up.  You get the feeling that your comrades won't be able to react before the bandit can.)

Without much surprise, Rubin sends three crossbow bolts flashing into the guard, not caring about taking him alive as much as keeping him quiet.

Normal Attack: 25 Damage: 9
Bonus Attack: 22 Damage: 11
Dread Attack: 23 Damage: 10 plus 4 dread damage.

"Nice shooting Rubin."

Tyde is impressed with everyone's efficiency, not just Rubin's.

"Good job everyone." Tyde whispers as he hopes their luck holds.

(Where to next?  Back to Red Larch, or exploring the keep further?)

(I Thought we were looking for other places to explore in the keep...)

(To DragonDenn: Same. Though, I believe the one guy said the most important people would've been taken to the temple, and that zone is well above our paygrade according to DM.)

Xanranzan nods in thanks to Rubin. "That was a bit on the close side. You know, I forgot to ask this, but.. how did you guys in here anyways again?" He asked curiously as he checks the pockets of the guard for anything of use. "So far, as far as I can tell, we've been through, uh.. kitchen, walls, and... where else?"

"Well, the way I see it, when we first came through we only checked the barracks and that big room. The barracks had some sleeping guards and we left them be."

Tyde looks to the night sky and tries to judge how close to daybreak it is.

"Either we get out of here before they wake or come back because who wants to take on the whole keep at once, or we explore for a chance to examine some more buildings?"

Kethra searches the body for loot, then tosses the body over the wall into the river if there are no objections.

 Perception: 10

"Unless they had a whole bunch of guys join them overnight, I don't see why 6 sleeping guards should be a problem?"

Edit: Happy new year everybody!

"Same. Plus, if we clear them out, it should be easier to get those other folk back that we saw to some place safe." Xanranzan said. "Don't know about you all, but given the MO of the folk here, I'm not so convinced they're exactly here willingly, if'n ya catch my drift. And if we gonna leave, I'd... it'd feel a whole lot better if my sorry ass wasn't the only one being pulled out proverbial drink."

"Ok then let's see who is left behind besides these wall guards."

Tyde heads towards the nearest building.
