As you turn to face the alley behind you, the problem is immediately apparent. Deep in the shadowed part of the narrow street, a figure dressed in resplendent red and white has collapsed to the ground, a pool of blood spreading beneath him.
Three short crossbow bolts protrude from his back, the feathered ends standing straight up in the air. He is collapsed in the alley facing away from you, and in fact, it looks as though somehow, the bolts would have come from the direction in which you are standing.
A concerned citizen raises the cry, 'Guards!' and the populace begins milling around the end of the alley where you are standing. There are shouts of 'It was them!', and 'That damn Samhadi must have done it!'
The music of the elven bard has stopped, and a quick glance about you reveals that he is nowhere to be found.
The clanking sound of armored guards is fast approaching.

ReplyDelete"Do you see crossbows in our hands ye blasted idiots?!" Jaegle yells to the crowd. "C'mon you two." he says to Narimar and Keik.
He then runs to the body to see if the man is still alive.
Narimar utters a curse under his breath and scans the alley for exits ...
ReplyDelete- Is the alley a dead-end?
- Are there any doors/windows on either side?
- Are there any sewer entrances?
- Is there any way to climb up either wall to the roof?
"Why did you do that, Nar? We gotta get out of here! I can create a distraction."
ReplyDelete"There's man doon!" yells Jaegle. "We can'eh let him die!"
ReplyDelete((if Jae gets to the body, what does he find?))
