TURN 4
As Acolyte 3 panics and shuffles his feet backwards, he quickly finds his back against the wall of the Sky Burrow's aft bulkhead where the door out to the observation deck is located. He's pulled his mask from his face, and similar to acolyte 6, his face is that of a young man, with scaring and pock marks across his face. His eyes are wild and wide, and his breathing is rapid and erratic.
As the group is turning to face him, a loud thud hits behind them. Sypher lands on the deck in a double roll, and shakily gets on his feet.
At the same time, a tinking sound comes from the chains above. The lone figure slides down the top most chain leaving a wide berth between himself and Beloc. He lands taking a knee and crouched, and as he stands he draws a long sword from a scabbard across his back.
"Gentlemen, lady...Gazra.. I am Sylas Be'al, First Sword of the Bleeding Palms. Since you've managed to dispatch the lads so quickly, you'll face me". He raises his long sword in a salute. He commands acolyte 3 "You there, make yourself useful, and stay put and out of the way. You'll be the lucky one". He shifts he weight to his back foot, and takes a low defensive stance, addressing the group again. "Alright, all at once now. No quarter".
