Shall we seek a 6th party member? - Single Choice
Hyre stays last, waiting for everyone to go down before he does, making sure he can catch them if they fall. Only once everyone is down safely, he goes down himself.
Reflex checks (not sure if to add Dex or not. If so, +4 to all):
Aelar: 14.
Leon: 5.
Barna?: 9.
Geoffrey?: 9.
Raia?: 8.
Athletics check to go down after all others who want to do: 1 (straight, right?)

((Climbing from the rooftops down to the ground, the kite manta has a rope ladder that lets them just get onto the rooftops, and just straight rolling, yes; you only fall if you roll a 9 or less but gain a success in proficiency if you pass.))
Aelar manages to hold his position and prevent himself from falling, and manages to make it down to the ground with Lazlo.
Barna's athletics: 11
Kina's athletics: 16 (She has proficiency and high STR)
Kina is a bit awkward while climbing and takes longer than the others for obvious centaury reasons,
Raia simply jumps; seems she has enough strength to simply pad her own landing.
Kina's reflex: 12
Raia's reflex: 22
((Raia, due to her reflexes, can cast feather fall on anyone else who plummets, though it will only reduce the damage to 1D4 because of it being a slightly weaker version of the spell due to her exhaustion.))
Barna's reflex: 11
Barna manages to catch Hyre as he stumbles, preventing him from falling. Clinging to him, she manages to make it the rest of the way down with him.

Hyre is so caught up in his thoughts that he slips off the ladder. Fortunately, Barna was there. "Ah, thank you." He says, allowing himself to cling back to her as they make their way down. He then looks down to the ground beneath them. How far was it? Could they climb down one of the walls if there are places where they could find a good grip?

((Err, the rope ladder goes down to the rooftops. It's the climb down from the rooftops that the athletics check is for, not the ladder portion.))

((Oh, I see. That makes much more sense. Well then...))
Hyre runs to the broken window, looking inside Grimbuld's store, trying to assess the situation. How many labours are inside? How wounded does Grimbuld look? If Grimbuld still fights, Hyre will call to him: "Grimbuld! The labours have a heart stone! If you pull it out, they'll go down immediately!" Hyre tries to remember whether he read or heard from Ranik anything that could hind at the stone's location or looks. If he does, he will also shout that information so that Grimbuld can take the labours out. He does not, however, get closer or into the store.
In case some roll is needed: 3. +2 if he gets to add INT, which I believe would be the fitting modifier. I doubt any of his proficiencies help, though.

Aelar scrambles down the building, nearly falling in the process, but someone--he has no idea who--catches him. Once on the ground, he moves up stealthily with Hyre and looks inside Grimbuld's store, trying to see...and wincing when Hyre yells. "I hope those machines can't hear," he mutters softly to himself. He pulls out his Serpent's Tongue and prepares to fight.
Stealth 10
Perception 15
ooc: Ouch! those are some of the worst rolls Aelar has ever had.

Lazlo will hold his action until he can get a description of what is happening at ground level.

((lol- homebrewers who'll try and turn anything into hooch. I make my own wine/mead but I draw the line at fruit/honey. I've heard of people pitching yeast into Orange Crush, Fanta, tomato juice... Hell even plain old fermented sugar water. Hey to each their own but, I can't imagine what that tastes like!))

((I'm waiting to see what Leon, Kallista, and Atetra are going to do; I don't want this to get too far away from them, unless they're also waiting on what Hyre sees.))

Kallista jumps from the building, using her wings to catch her fall. When she gets to the ground she heads for Grimbuld's shop.

Atetra not being particularly enthusiastic about heights nervously begins to climb down the roof
”No time for fear” he whispers to himself as he attempts the climb down

Leon's athletics: 16
Leon scrambles down an eavetrough pipe and gets to the ground quickly, pulling up with the others. As they approach, the sounds of heavy thumping can be heard. As Hyre shouts to Grimbuld, a grunting response can be heard.
"Get in here and help!" the old ranger says.
When the group closes in, Grimbuld can be seen trapped in a corner with three Labors kicking and slashing at him; he's been knocked down and they have surrounded him, mercilessly beating him to death. He's been cut open all over and the floor is dotted with his blood. The burnt-out debris of a few Labors can be seen scattered about, and the store has been completely demolished from the fighting that must have taken place in here. The sound of a child screaming can be heard
"Back room!" he snarls out, using his spider cowl to cover up his vital areas as best he can while he tries to find his feet.
There are three other Labors kicking and ramming the door to the processing room that seems to have been hastily barricaded; it won't hold much longer.
Initiative rolls all around!
Leon's initiative: 19
Raia/Kina/Barna (grouping the NPCs all together for speed's sake. Also, I totally didn't realize I had so many characters with names that end in a... good job there, brain.): 7
Labors attacking Grimbuld: 10
The Labors attacking the barricade aren't paying attention to the group.
Grimbuld is incapacitated and can't act.
