The Master and the Minion - IC Thread
Xander Morhaime:
Understandably, Ma'kirr being tossed out the window caused quite a stir in the gathering outside - enough so that in short order you had the entirety of the town watch standing outside the door, a dozen men in all. Half the men had spears, the other half (which looked slightly more competent) came with swords and crossbows, and even some armour. A few of them rushed to Ma'kirr to help her up, while the others watched the house uneasily.
"What'll we do? We can't just go in there... it'll be a slaughter..."
"We could board up the doors and windows and let them starve?"
"Nah, too slow... we'll burn them out."
"Ooh, the boss won't be too happy about it..."
"Judging by their shouting I don't think he's in any shape to give us grief over it anyway."
"Right. Get some torches! Shoot anything that comes out that door!"
Someone in the back of the group quickly managed to score some torches and was already passing them out, while three of the watchmen unslung their crossbows - two even took some preemptive pot shots at Saliak, though without much success, one bolt hitting the wall, the other hitting the window, but missing the Dragonborn.

S.K. Ren:
This is what it all comes down to: How to catch these villagers by surprise. Preferably it should be while they are fighting the others. To soon and I am stranded. Too late and I'll have no one left to maim.
Ma'kirr put up a decent act of weakness, insisting that she only needed a few moments to catch her breath and she would 'join' them in the fight.
Malek Deneith:
- "Oh I'm not sure about that. I certainly felt some pain listening to that shouting you two made." - Ryltar stopped his search, drew his weapon and casually strolled outside and stabbed the nearest watchmen right through the throat - "You wanted us to come out gentelmen?"

Xander Morhaime:
While the watchman collapsed to the ground gripping at his throat and gurgling out something incoherent, the remainder of the more "competent" watchmen took notice of the drow.
"Told you we shouldn't have trusted that pointy-ear!"
"Shoot him! Shoot him!"
Their shooting efforts went rather poorly, two crossbow bolts missing their mark completely... so much so that the third watchman instead drew his sword and charged at Ryltar, landing a solid blow.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)Ryltar hits and kills the watchman.
The veteran watchmen attack, two miss their shots, the third gets in close to melee and scores a critical hit, dealing 12 damage to Ryltar (23 HP remaining.)

Tavana:
I am being watched, I must play my part. Raising his voice as he strides out of the door he shouts "Forget the girl for now. Deal with this rabble and we can finish her off." He ends his sentence with a lightning coated exclamation point.
