The groups heads of in a bit of a worry that they might not make it to the scribes office before he closes for the night.

The group heads down a "short cut" they think better to take after all the odd things that has happened in town lately.

Rounding a corner of one ally way to another you guys see what appears to be three large men hunched over a smaller man.  One speaks very roughly, Err, gunna cut yer fom ear ta ear if da not gib uz da wordz  The other two have clubs while the speaking one has a dagger.

Actions?

Hastily, Senuviel's eyes go from Maki to the dwarves then Bruga and finally Kree. The warrior/mage silently knocks an arrow to his bow as he slower his pace to linger behind. As he passes by Kree, the elf nods in the direction of Maki as he whispers to his fellow elf comrade.

You know what's gonna happen next, be ready.

Bow and arrow at ready, Senuviel aims his arrow at the man with the dagger. Just waiting for the skirmish to start.

Brugasidles by his comrades his arms at his sides beside a wall. Gentlemen, he pipes up, haven't you heard that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar? Besides, cut throats speak no words.

P.S. The group notices that Bruga's hands are cupped, cradling a dagger tip between thumb and forefinger..

Groddam looks at Senuviel and shrugs. "Yas be dhinkin it be a brawl? Dat be fine wit me." He patted his axe.

"Who's cuting who?" Maki said, his hand already resting on the hilt of his morningstar.

His haze seemed to fixate on the men in front of him.

OOC: Maki tries to determine, if they anyone is evil or not.

  With a Nod to Senuviel, Kree Brings up an empty Bow, that suddenly has an arrow  appear in it as he draws back the string,..I know not, whom is the  dark ones here?...But i will apologize, should i be wrong....

 There was dark Humor in his voice, but not  in his eyes  as he lefts Fly the arrow at the Leftmost Thug with the club, he draws the Bow back and  will fire again as soon as he looses the shaft....

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 6):

....

Soon after Kree shoots his arrows on the guy on the left, Senuviel aims at the thug on the right as soon as he starts moving towards the group. The first shot lands on target while the second flies over the thug's head. Senuviel then retreats to the back searching for a spot to aim his arrows, as his comrades engage the remaining thugs.

Maki grins as he speaks to his companions: "They are all evil, so don't hold back"

Already his weapon is in his right hand, while the left one holds his shield. He takes a few steps and swings at the nearest thug.

I chose this opponent for my dodge feat.

In reply to Maki (msg # 11):

Clair stepped to the side mumbling a spell as the arrows n daggers flew and Miki attacked, [fairy fire] - the first thug charging is glowing and the others are starting to. Snare is next to Clair growling.

I will adjust your rolls accordingly next round for the spell.

The charging Thug, shall we call him that, staggers by the arrow and sword wound but continues his attack on Miki and misses with his club.

The Thug threatening the little guy, laughs and jumps up turning toward the group - get em boys - The one on the left grunts from the arrow hit but also turns toward the group.  the little guy also jumps up and his hands are starting to make like a spell.  You also hear feet patter but see nothing, yet.
