Samurai do not like to hide and it was obvious by the way his chest stuck out, his thumbs locked in his obi. "Make kiri."

ooc: Ok... no other ideas, so I'm going to press on with the Kiri...

Aidan does as requested, spitting in her hands and slapping them together, then rubbing them at a feverish pace until what seems like smoke starts to come out and move around the area to help conceal those within. She does her best to make it look like a natural (if spooky) phenomenon. She recreates the wall as needed when her spell's effects wears off.

And then the waiting game begins.

An hour into the watch, where everyone was beginning to wonder if anything was going to happen, they started hearing voices approaching.

"... ought to set fire to ..."

"... attract too ... attention..."

As the voices and footfalls get louder, they seem to slow in their stride. "What's up with the fog?"

"Who cares... come on, let's do this thing!"

Knowing the brash and ethical paladin would give up their position long before necessary Shayden would try to silently slip back to cut off any attempt at retreat, if at all possible. Only making herself visible, bow in hand, icy side up, arrow nocked only if they tried to high tail it, even going as far as to shoot one of them in a leg or two to slow them down... if the opportunity presented itself, I mean if it is 'necessary'. (my luck she will be the one to make the noise and give away their presence Roll Eyes

)

Tatsuo's eyes glance in the direction of the voices, to Nym, to the direction of the voices, back to Nym and so on. We could wait as well, either the elf fell asleep standing with his eyes open or he was waiting. Tatsuo thought it might be best to give Nym a push on the arm, just to make sure elves didn't sleep standing with their eyes open, they were pretty weird sometimes.

Then holds up his hand, to signal that they need to wait a little longer.

Marc looked around as the others talk through their plans. It really didnt sound that complicated to him.
The big muscle types tended to want to keep things simple anyway.
Perhaps it was their strange gods and all, but after athena had appeared Marc didnt really want to get involved in any long conversations. Perhaps an aftereffect of seeing a goddess.
Strange that the others seemed to almost accept it, but two gods with only a short period appearing was unnerving.
It meant they were taking an active interest in things.
Staying hidden in the fog seemed the best course of action at present.

Doran also remains put for the time being, his mace drawn and ready to defend the very shrine of the goddess he worships.

The voices are getting louder as they approach, but yet hushed so as not to be heard from the houses nearby. "Ok, this time, we'll tear down the sides, and I'll take a big dump on the altar..."

Suddenly, they were in view as they stepped up to the shrine, two boys, maybe 14 and 15 years of age. Their clothes were that of poor farm-hands - members of the village. Some of the party might have even seen them out and about during the day as they passed through.

"Oh shite! Run!" the one boy said to the other.

ooc: Initiatives Someone toss a d6. They got a 6... very on their toes probably over-flowing with adrenalyn. You need a 6 to tie, otherwise the boys act first.

OOC If no one's rolled got a 3 Sad

Shayden would step out and if possible try to block a retreat, if they get a head start she would let one (or more if possible can't remember how many she can shoot now) of the arrows fly, if it misses, though she was not trying to, she would let on like it was intentional saying, ,"Better listen, you can't outrun a bow boys!"

Shayden had found an appropriate hiding place earlier and managed to find herself on the opposite side of the would-be vandals than the rest of the party. Nym demands the boys halt as Aiden steps out and Tatsuo lets some arrows fly - they all fall around the fleeing boys' feet. The boys stop dead in their tracks when two arrows strike a puddle and freeze the water before their eyes. Shayden stands before them, looking sternly.

Back to back, the boys hold their hands up in surrender. "We didn't do anything ... don't kill us!"

Nym calls everyone, except Marc, forward. As they close in on the boys, Nym sheaths his weapon, but his eyes never leave the eyes of the boy closest to him. When he is within a few steps, he tells them, "If you want to avoid further conflict with us, you will take us to where you each live, so we might speak with your guardians."

Tatsuo rolled his eyes but suppressed a groan. Talking to their parents! These people had strange ways, in his lands if boys were caught like this, the shame of just being caught was enough, in more severe cases, their hands or eyes were removed. You didn't further dishonor the family for the action of their boys. Honor here was so askew!

Were it possible to see the rogue’s face beneath the ebony curls her lip would curl into a very obvious sneer, but in this lighting it was most unlikely anyone would notice it. However she was sure to make her intentions very, very ‘clear’ as she held the bow, arrow notched and aimed at the boys. As much as she was annoyed by the paladin’s suggestion she would not speak it outright for two very simple reasons: one, part of her hoped they’d run and she would get to test the bow and second, regardless of her opinion she knew that in most situations it was best to keep up the appearances of a ‘united’ front, it was a simple tactical rule.

The boys stood there for a moment looking back and forth at the people that had appeared 'out of thin air'. They were frightened by the looks of them and their faces pale and eyes wide. The older boy shoved the younger towards Nym and Tatsuo and ran south into the village.

ooc: Shayden may take a shot with her bow since it was notched and ready before the boy disappears around a building.
