Robert will fire twice at the target and then quickly relocate to the area of cover.

The Webley's booming reports shatter the silence, and Robert barely avoids being shot in return. His target vanishes in the gloom, and Robert sees another shadowy figure as the man's shot gives away his position.

Robert will fire twice at the new target.

Roll 3d6 for his shots, please...

A hoarse scream announces that at least one of Robert's shots connected, but his ears are now ringing from the heavy pistol's reports in the building. The shadow vanishes from sight.

Robert will remain silent for a few moments and then toss a few more coins to his right to attempt to draw a reaction.

He sees and hears nothing more.

Robert will advance slowly toward the direction of the scream

After a brief search, he finds two men crumpled on the floor. One of them is taking slow, deep breaths as he bleeds to death on the dirty floor. The other man is still, and Robert can smell the blood from both of them.

Robert will do what he can to stem the bleeding.

The man stops breathing when Robert bends down to examine him.

"Are you okay?" He hears Louis' soft murmur from behind him.

Robert manages not to shoot Louis as she approaches from behind. He pulled away from the dead man after doing a search for papers or other identification or clues. "I am fine. These two are dead. I think there is only the woman left." He said softly. "Let me check the other man for any clues and I think we can move up through the building."

Robert finds nothing of interest on the men save for a key.

Robert will hand the key to Louis. "Hopefully this will lead us to the hostage. Let's continue quietly through the building to see if we can find the remaining woman." He will check that he is loaded and then head quietly through the building until he finds a door leading outside.

Robert and Louis make their way through the gloomy warehouse, finding no one else inside. The door on this end stands open.

Robert whispers for Louis to watch the interior of the warehouse while he goes to the door and carefully looks about outside. He is careful not to silhouette himself.

Robert spies a woman standing across the street to the northwest next to another warehouse at that building's northeast corner. He jerks his head back just in time as a bullet slams into the door frame.

"Damn," Louis swears. "This is getting old."

Robert curses under his breath as he was showered with splinters from the near miss. "I agree. We need to end this. Break a couple sets of windows to confuse your location and be ready to snipe from there. I will rig up a quick decoy with my jacket and hat. If we can draw her out and you can shoot her. The key is to not let her know from which window you are shooting."

"Right." Louis moves toward the northwest wall, which faces the street between the two buildings.

Once Louis is in place Robert will attempt to draw fire with a bit of a scarecrow made from his hat and jacket.

There is no response to Robert's action.

With a glance at Louis, Brint will dash across to the other building.

Robert arrives at the next building's southeast facing wall without incident. He turns to see Louis at the other building's center doorway, and Lucilla peeping around the corner to the south, and to Louis' left.

Robert waves Louis and Lucila up. "I'm going to go down the other end of the building and try to get around the south end of the next building. Then I might be able to work around behind the ambush. Louis go through this building and set up to cover the northeast corner of the next building. Lucilla you go to the Northeast corner of this building and make noise and commotion."

Two tense minutes pass while Robert crosses the street and moves up to the southwest building corner. He sees no one, but, as he starts to look around the corner, he hears two gunshots from the next building (to the northwest), the sound of shattering glass, and a pair of answering shots, along with a most unladylike curse from Louis.
