"Fair enough, may those hogs be damned. Are there any OTHER forces we would convince to fight for us ?", the Xeno asked, barely hiding his disappointment.
 
It is true that freakish tiny building standing right there was aggrevating him more and more with each word of helplessness spoken. At first he was willing to get in the guards' pack and blow that device on his throat, but then he realized that he would not live long enough to see them burning. It was certain that these men at arms were much too numerous to attempt a direct raid. He shook his head nervously and answered loudly :

"I am not going to die as your >>martyrs<< did. There MUST be some way inside, not being a wild charge from the front...

...Sewers, that is."
, he added, much more silently, his narrowed eyes glancing at their faces as he turned to his comrades.

"Or, if we could take a patrol down without alarming the others... This time, the dead silence is our greatest ally. Which means hand-to-hand combat only..."

"We don't know where a sewer entrance is, we know even less about their layout or any possible obstacles, such as traps or guards... and most importantly, we don't know if the interior of the place actually has any exit we could use, or if we'd just end up finding the only sewer connection they have to be a head-width pipe leading directly to their cesspit," Halsted explained patiently. "I still say picking them off one by one is our best option."

"Since we have no time to investigate this I must agree with you. Further details ?"

"Making this up as we go along. Get to the sniper's perch without getting seen by him or the patrols. Or at least by him. Get inside, kill the sod, replace with our own sniper. React to developing situation as necessary."

- I agree taking the sniper down first is our best option. Not sure if we can get inside his point without getting shot by him in the process. We might need to take risk of trying to out-snipe him, hopefully without alarming others.

"It's risky, but perhaps those of us adept at sneaking about should go on ahead and deal with the sniper... by that I would mean you, Laz, and possibly the Eldar. The rest of us would wait here until the sniper was dead or at least distracted before moving up..."

- I expected as much... Here's hoping that I can get close enough to fire of an accurate shot.

"If anything does go wrong, Emperor forbid, you two keep your heads down and pray, while I shoot anything that's not us and comes within range," Halsted replied with a casual shrug.

"You seem very confident, warrior. It looks like I will pray to the Emperor for the merciful death for our enemies"

Lazerus goes off and you wait. After a longer while he reappears suddenly and looks very unhappy

- Sniper lives and there is at least one patrol searching area and coming close. I think this falls under plan "B" or "fight to the best of our abilities" and let us hope the Emperor looks at that more favourably than at my sneaking attempts.

Halsted shook his head lightly. "Chances are, they don't know how many we number... if it's just the one patrol, and we hit them quick enough, we should be able to take them. Or wait them out. I think this may fall under plan "squig and gretchin," I'm afraid... Well, get down and try to find a suitable ambush position. I'll see if I can get a fix on the patrol," the guardsman instructed, then crouched down behind the nearest available piece of cover and once again took to scanning the area through magnoculars, looking for the alarmed patrol.

The patrol closed in fast, and probably alerted rest already. If there is something you want to do before a gunfight, it is about time.

Since everybody was alerted already, Silharriel grasped his shotgun, pushed shells inside and hurled himself towards some piece of cover, keeping his head low.

Marcus took out his stub revolver and while looking for cover starts whispering:

"Emperor, we lay our lives in thee hands this day, have mercy and forgive us our sins..."
