Emily goggled at someone calling her valuable but began backing away slowly towards the wall, having given up on her attempts to make it to the balcony for the moment. She held one of her 'daggers' out before her as she did so... |

DOWNSTAIRS Osric has successfully tripped the monk he attacked. And the Lady Knight makes short work of the stumbling Monk slashing down at him and leaving him sprawling unmoving on the ground. The Heavyset Warrior and the Monk he is fighting exchange ineffectual blows. Eggdras comes out and is near enough to Osric, that as the Lady Knight says to Osric, "Follow me!" and turns towards the stairs, Eggdras would be entirely free to assume he's included in the invitation. UPSTAIRS Alistair has succeeded in getting behind the Nun and poking his dagger to her back, issuing his command to her to drop her sword. She does not drop it, but she does lower it until it is pointing at the ground. Emily has managed to back away a bit - she could duck behind either of the curtains if she wanted to. Simon reaches the woman on the bed and sees that she has been bound to it, by her wrists, her ankles tied together. There is blood on her face, and what he thinks is some sort of thumbscrew or similar attached to her left hand. She looks at him but her speech is apparently to the Nun and the Monk. "Surely you recognise the girl, Honeysuckle. Or do we all look the same to you?" The Monk speaks, in his accented Elleslandic. "You will address my Mistress by her title, not your..." But the Nun interrupts him. "That does not matter for now." She leans down to try and get a closer look at Emily. She seems fairly unconcerned about the dagger at her back. Both the Monk and the Nun are definitely focused on Emily - and not looking at either of their captives right now. |

"Lead the way!" Eggdras cries out whilst raising his frying pan. He doesn't want to take sides, but looks like nobody is obstructing them now. He beckons Osric to go ahead. |

The sight of the butchered monk at his feet makes Osric feel a little queasy, but he has been summoned, and in all this chaos it feels much easier to follow than to question. He takes one quick swing at the remaining monk by the door.... Attack: 14 (Hawk Guard, +1 Attack, +1:AB, -2 Def, -1Evasion) Attacking the monk: 1d20 3 Monks armour (Guard bonus included): 1d6+1 3 ...thumping him hard in the chest. Not hard enough to hurt him it seems, but perhaps enough of a distraction to help his struggling assailant. He then turns and runs after the others. [OOC: I’m assuming these monks are in chain mail rather than full plate? Interesting to note that that a staff swung double handed by a trained fighter is now comparable at armour bypass to a shortsword (d6+1 vs d8).... I do like these new Guard rules...] |

Emily is utterly terrified, no one has ever taken notice of her before and she likes it not one bit. She is nothing....she has heard those words more than a hundred times from those who would know....and now strangers were discussing her as if she were something more than a street-rat. |

Assuming the bindings are just rope and not chain, Simon will cut the bindings at her right hand and feet (which is all he can reach and, presumably, all he would have time for in a round). inlebadger wrote: [OOC: ...

I know playing a specific profession should be more about the role you want to play than its competence at any specific task and combat manoeuvres are something that makes DW combat a little less "grindy" but I think berserk probably needs to be reviewed to be balanced with these stances, such as automatically countering, for example - but this is a conversation for another thread!] |

Chain seems more likely, but it's possible some aren't armoured at all. |

DOWNSTAIRS Eggdras can pick up the sword dropped by the monk that fell. Standard sword, (d8,4) by the looks of it. The Lady Knight shouts "Let us pass!" as she swings at the monk who is on the left at the base of the stairs. He parries her blow. Osric, even with your rudimentary training, you are sure she has targeted him in order to give you - or anybody else assisting her - the chance to put the right wall at your side, meaning you have less reason to fear being attacked from the side. You haven't time to get into position immediately, so for this round, she faces attacks from both the monks. She blocks the one on the left, but the one on the right manages to slip his blade under her arm and she grunts in pain. Again the Heavyset Warrior and the Monk he is fighting parry each other. Osric and Eggdras would both have the chance to take up a position on either the right or left side of the Lady Knight - on her left, it would be possible to engage the right Monk, on her right, it would be possible to engage either the left or right monk. UPSTAIRS Simon has cut the bond on the woman's right wrist. As he moves to cut the bonds at her feet, she reaches over to try and free her left hand. The Nun is looking at Emily quite carefully. So is the Monk. The Nun speaks. "She seems too old..." "The untouched age quickly" says the lady on the bed. |

Fear slowly gives way to something else...anger...if she's of value then they won't kill her...if they won't kill her then she wants some damn answers... " Too old for bloody what??" " Whats untouched when its at home?" " Who are you people?" |
