Jacks silently swears under his breath: "The fool! So much for following my lead… ".

Praying that Fay's blundering attack diverts at least one the creature's attention, he remains poised for action, taking care to remain invisible and silent, waiting to see the trio's reaction and attempting to plan his next move: will the beasts try to run, or follow Fay?

The Master Spy takes a deep breath and focuses all his strength on remaining poised, looking for an opening either to slip the creatures' guard and grab the mask, or at least continue his tail under these increasingly difficult odds.

Out of Character:
Now ye did it, bard! *grumbles*.

Fay fires a bolt, becoming visible as he does so. Rezmir is hit, as the bolt punches a hole in her arm. He taunts them and retreats, trying to draw the trio up after him. Both of the large creatures start moving in that direction, but a sharp word halts them in their tracks.

Hissing, Rezmir snaps the end of the bolt off and then keeps moving with both of her guards in tow, a little faster than before. She looks like she is headed to the first floor of the north wing.

Fay emerges back up top in time to see a large ball of fire launched at the elven archers before him. A mage nearby holds up his hand and chants a few words, and the incoming projectile fizzles and disappears. None of those nearby seem to have noticed the bard yet, they're all focused on the battle to their south.

The group starts to ply their trade in earnest. Lia collapses much of the shield wall's support by directing lightning across the span, dropping many of the cultists at once. Poljen cuts down a man on the end, and several of the lizardfolk beside him punch holes in the rest of the line. It will collapse soon.

Poppo launches a fireball across the fort, trying to eliminate the elven unit, but his spell simply disappears. Someone is counterspelling him. As if in response, an arrow streaks out and hits the halfling.

Out of Character: 9 damage to Poppo, which calls for a DC 10 concentration check to maintain Jack's invisibility. Another arrow hit Zarra for 11 damage.

Jack stands frozen, hugging the staircase wall then letting out a sigh of relief as Rezmir calls back her two bodyguards and hurries on towards the next landing.

"That was close… Damn that crazy songster boy and his pointless heroics! Now, let's see where these three are headed."

Using an old trick of the underworld, Jack silently and quickly scratches a curved notch on the wall with his dagger at about hip-height: used by house-breakers and spies all along the Sword Coast, these type of signs can pinpoint to any other professional the exact direction to go whenever a "Mark" is being followed…
"Only this time, the marks are a trio of acid-spitting half-human monsters ugly as sin and dark a the night, with a serious attitude problem: just my luck…! Still, hopefully Oz will spot these and lead the others after him", the spy thinks to himself as he cautiously but diligently tails the trio, keeping a safe distance to avoid them catching his smell." I just hope they hurry up before that weird masked witch slips between our fingers… I'm certainly not taking her boyfriends on, at least not on my own! ". A chill runs up the rogue's spine at the thought of the one bodyguard's wicked axe cleaving his skull, but he braces himself and follows the trio down to the first floor with baited breath.

Out of Character:
Hopefully no power-gaming here, I just assumed these sort of markings could be a plausible rogue tactic. If not, just ignore it and replace it by Jack leaving a ball bearing on the floor at every strategic spot.

Poppo winces in pain as the arrow strikes. He tries to steady his mind as the pain shoots through his body.

Poljen calls out to his companions, including the lizards. "Come! They are about to break! Then we can really lay waste to them!"

The Quiet Shadow says...

Zarra was trying to stay out of harm's way and find a place in which to take more stealthy approach in attacking others. Her focus was on the mage causing Poppo trouble, the drow wishing to add him in taking the cultist down

The drow will try to find a place that she might be able to use her hand crossbow, yet also close enough to attack the mage. If there's a fair distance between them she will attack other a cultists in the way.

Fay gets up to the battlements and sees the battle going on around him. He notes an enemy mage and he starts to sing a song of dissonance. His voice is off, the key is wrong, the rhythm lost, and he aims his song at the enemy mage. He then takes out his Sun Blade Scimitar and prepares to do battle. Upon completing his song he yells as loud as he can, "Poljen, Velon, Cratol, the mask escapes down these stairs. Make haste and help Jack!"

Out of Character: Fay castes Dissonant Whispers at 3rd level.
