[IC] Hellhounds in the City!

[Throndir]

There was a loud yell followed by groling and barking of what sounded like dogs. Someone in the distance yelled out a 'Help!', though it was hard to see anyone in the far distance as smoke emanated from the distance. The stream of dark cloud-like smoke pumped into the air like some sort of smoke-pipe. The group wondered where all the smoke came from, after all, the amount was staggering.

All of a sudden two wounded soldiers appeared out of the smoke, running towards the group as fast as they can.

[Oath]

Hearing the cries for help, I move as fast as I can in their direction. I feel that there are more hounds about, and I can only hope that my allies are willing to continue.

"Everyone, we should continue and make sure that we limit the number of casualties here."

Spoiler

I move 7 tiles to end up 2 spaces away from the guard in the back.

Sophie followed directly behind Ryine, a worried look on her face as the cry for help rang out. "We need to hurry." She thought. Mimic nodded. Sophie was afraid to think of what they'd find beyond the smoke. It was incredibly hard for her to witness others suffering. She notices the two wounded soldiers then, causing her to worry even more.

[Throndir]

"H-help!" The guards yelled seeing the group of the guild members. They were frantic as they ran onwards, the two guards were still a distance away, but everyone could tell that they were breathing hard and had many wounds over their entire bodies.

[Linwelin]

When Kin saw the wounded soldiers, he started to run, still keeping up his defenses. As he gets close, he yells, "There's a healer behind me for you to get immediate attention, we'll hold the beasts off!" He darts past them, keeping his eyes peeled for the hounds. They have to be nearby. They would never let their prey go so easily. Maybe it was bait?"

Spot:  1d20+1 : 12 + 1, total 13

"Run, there are too many!" One of the guards yelled as he continued to close the distance between them and the guild members.

Branwen approached slowly and silently. She was merely walking down the street, almost as though she were heading to a grocery store, paying no heed to the screaming citizens, fleeing guards, or the presence of monsters. She simply followed the others at a casual pace, as though all of this was just a bother to her. Which it was.

Spoiler

Branwen moves 3 squares southeast (20 feet) ending just above the corner of the house

"So we are having a camp-out now? There are people dying and we are just twiddling our thumbs! We have got to do something before more innocents are mauled by these puppies."

I prepare my shield and run headlong towards the area that the hounds are most likely to be at.

"Last one to make it this way has to clean the entire Guild Hall, so lets see some movement out here!"

I secretly hope that Kin is the last one to make it, so that I get the glory once again and he arrives after the good parts.

Spoiler

I move in the direction of the hell hounds until either I engage them or I reach my maximum move distance.

Unfortunately for Ryine's sake, Kin had a head start. He was already marching his way past the guards and toward the hounds. "Speak for yourself, Ryine, I'm already on my way!" Kin taunts, hoping it'll get the rest of the group to get a move on.

He keeps his eyes peeled, making sure no ambush is waiting along the way. "Last thing I need are 3 hounds pouncing on me now." He mumbles to himself, ready to parry if needed. He seemed to be running through worst-case scenarios, keeping himself cautious.

[Bootman]

Kassadin suddenly snaps her head up and looks around slowly, an empty gaze on her face. "I just had the strangest drea- oh." She gripped her sword and charged one of the warriors in front of her, the one appearing the weakest if there was one. does nothing because she's a good person and would never attack an innocent civilian.

[Throndir]

As the group neared and passed the guards, there was nothing that looked dangerous, save for the smoke that filled the air. There was an intense crackling of flames burning something akin to wood, yet you could not discern what the cause of it was. The smoke was thick and heavy, and likely it covered the sunlight if one were to venture in. There were still sounds of fighting in the distance, and you notice that there were less screams, most probably dead or have managed to escape.

"They were right behind us!" One of the guards yelled. Seeing that the group were between them and whatever had frightened them, the guards stopped their escape, and stood their ground, panting heavily, as they turned towards the smoke.

Yet, as the band peered into the smoke, they couldn't see what the guards were talking about.

"...Hm." Branwen stepped out from behind the corner as her allies took the lead. She was rarely one for being at the head of any party, even with competent allies. But the smoke should provide cover from the hounds...or so she hoped, anyway. She wasn't well-versed in the lore of outsiders.

Making her way steadily, she plunged into the smoke at a steady pace, covering her mouth. She knew that a single cough would give away her position immediately, and resigned to hold her breath for as long as she could. Nearing another corner, she peered around it to see what she found, hopefully without being found herself...

Spoiler

Branwen doublemoves at half speed, right 1 square, then south 4 squares. She peers around the corner.

As the group neared, their defenses on guard awaiting if anything would appear from the smoke, Branwen went ahead to peer out the corner.

Branwen stepped away from the corner, back out of the fog and towards her teammates. She remains silent, but quietly motions to the others in the direction of the alleyway to the east...she keeps her sword drawn as she faces towards it.

Spoiler

Branwen finishes her move by moving up one and ends her turn.
