"From what we have been told," Gorokum continues with the driver, "they are pervasive and have taken up root through out this kingdom. But, are there any rumors of a headquarters or base of operations?"
"Yeah, they've made their base in the walled-off town, Zohn, but invading the place is committing suicide. The walls are impossible to climb, meaning you have to recite the Thief's Code to get in, and if you mess up or don't know it, well, rumor has it you will plummet thirty feet to your death, and feather fall won't save you from what's at the bottom. If you somehow get in, but are caught snooping around, you will be executed. If you want to get in there, don't bother trying, you'll just get yourself killed."
"Thank you for the information," Gorokum answers. "Investigating Zohn sounds challenging and we may not be ready for that yet. But I fear we may end up having no choice if we're to succeed in stopping this darkness from growing."
The driver lets out a long sigh "It's your funeral, but I-" the conversation is interrupted when a barrage of arrows and crossbow bolts raining from the sky. An arrow hits the driver in his heart, causing him collapsing to the ground. (Everyone make a DC16 dexterity save or take 8 piercing damage, 4 on a success, 0 on nat. 20, 16 on a nat. 1. Anyone with a shield equipped has advantage.)
(Using rogue's evasion feature, damage is halved.)
When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a DEX saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail
The rain of ammunition comes down quickly, While Mal expertly dodges them, a crossbow bolt lands right in the center of her left arm. Jaydn was very quick to react to the ambush, thanks to his shield, he was able to block most of them, except for one arrow that lands in his knee. Gorokum, while having no shield, was able to evade the arrows, but two land in his chest, narrowly missing his heart. Thoradin was slow to react, as he got 4 total crossbow bolts and arrows landing on him. Basina Was close to not getting too hurt, but the arrows were too random that they continuously hit her.

Gorokum looks around quickly for where the ambush has come from, looking at the arrows and bolts and the angles of impact to try and determine where they were fired from.

Out of the woods, five humanoids, dressed in black cloaks that completely obscure their identities and races, come. Three are armed with light crossbows, the rest have shortbows. On each side of all their cloaks is a dagger, supposedly meant for dual wielding. (Everyone roll initiative)

Jadyn shifts uncomfortably throughout the ride, but listens intently to the discussion. Maybe these thieves will have a pendant? He thinks.
