Jack and Zarra are creeping along the hall. They are nearing a corner, and can hear voices beyond it.
Jack starts sidling up to take a peek when his foot catches on a loose stone. In his efforts to keep it from skittering across the floor loudly, he loses his footing and lands face first on the floor beyond.
When he looks up, he can see five heavily armed and armored cultists sitting around a table in the corridor. They're staring at him in mute surprise.

While cursing himself inwardly for his appalling clumsiness, Jack tries to make the best of a bad situation: mumbling incoherently and cackling to himself, he attempts an imitation of a drunk madman as he staggers to his feet, letting his hair fall into his face and talking to himself manically. First seemingly oblivious of the men-at-arms, he slurs:
"Ahhwahahr, my pretty fishes are out of the pond ooh yes… the bad men won't catch my pretty fishes, no no !..."
Whistling an out of tune ditty, he suddenly turns his back to the guards, and quickly pulls down his breeches, flashing his nether parts to the cultists before pulling his breeches up and taking off at a full run back towards the rest of his team.
Out of Character:
Hopefully his little show will incite at least some of the men to follow him back towards the group, and take their attention away from Zarra, who's still hidden.
Jack will run swiftly and silently at full speed. He's counting on the fact that the guards armors clanking as they run will warn the group of their arrival. If not he'll signal urgently behind him as he arrives at full run.
Daishain, I'll roll both deception and intimidation here (More like provocation in this case, so not sure which one applies…).

Poljen and the others hear some sort of loud thump, followed shortly by off-key singing. Within moments he sees Jack running pell-mell towards them. The big barbarian moves forward ready to confront whatever may be chasing him, or if nothing appears he will continue down the passage from whence Jack came, sure there is a fight brewing.
Out of Character: : I figure this will get things rolling… Initiative, Bonus to Rage, and attack rolls in case there is something to hit. I will roll the damage for the sword, but also add a roll for attack and damage for the axe in case what he sees he can not reach for melee…
Zarra curses when it becomes pretty clear their cover has been blow, before muttering at Jack in undercommon as she follows him and draws her crossbow as they move away from where the thump could be heard and then singing of all things.
Looking to Jack, she asks, "What did you do, what happened?" Zarra appeared most displeased, especially since he was supposed to be good at stealth. The drow was more then a bit concerned with how things had turned out.

Oswald nods in agreement and says; "Same." He then asks; "What brought you to this group? Your mother or something else?". Oswald has a look of genuine curiosity on his face.
Out of Character: I'm unsure if we would have heard anything yet, but I'm rolling initiative just incase.

Fay hears the commotion and doesn't know what's going on. Still, he knows enough that it isn't good news for the Blaze. He takes out both of his swords and tenses, readying himself for action. Looking at Oswald he says dryly, "It appears Jack may have found something."
