The sound of approaching footsteps grows ever louder. Narimar, Jaegle, both of you can easily make out three distinct owners approaching. Not the cavalry, but nor is it just a single guard on its way to investigate your position.
There is a crowd gathering around the entrance to the alleyway, staring down at the three of you, and blocking that possible escape route.
Jaegle, from your vantage point, you spot a small amount of debris next to one of the ladders seem to spontaneously shift, and then fall to the ground with a clatter. Your intuition tells you that there is no possible way it could have done that on its own. Your keen ears (Listen: DC 20) pick up the sound of soft-soled boots on the ladder, though your eyes tell you that there is nothing there.
The guards will arrive in less than one minute!

Following Jaegle's gaze into the alley, Narimar says "What know you my friend?"
ReplyDelete"Either I'm a three toed sloth, or someone unseen is climbing that ladder."
ReplyDeleteJaegle points to the ladder in question.
"Possibly the fella wit de crossbow who's gone and got us in dis trouble to begin wit."
Narimar sheaths his sword, prepares his crossbow, grins and says "We'll be sure to count your toes later Jae, for now we need to stop that climber!"
