Ambushed!
Raen stopped and listened, attempting to ignore Sandrina's harsh words to Hama. "I hear something," state Anora. Of course you do! There could be twenty or more mercenaries waiting for us at this very moment! He decided to stick with the original plan, sounds or not. This was no time to be indecisive, or the company might fall toghether in minutes. For Sandrina's sake, he would not allow that to happen.
"We are entering just as planned. Braedon, Hama and I will scale the wall again, and the rest of you enter through the gate. Wait for the signal." He was frustrated at how naive most of them were to such simple tactics. If we ever face a greater force... Banishing such thoughts from his mind, Raen hurried along the wall, followed by his two companions. Braedon helped him onto the walll - nothing had changed, no sign of movement. Hama refused help pulled himself over, jumping down onto the ground below. Oh well, at least he can fend for himself.
Once inside the courtyard, they spread out. Hama looked around the stables, and was soon preoccupied. Braen checked a storage shed, finding nothing. Raen slowly moved towards the house itself, watching for any signs of life behind the chrystal window panes. Is that... Then an arrow hurtled by, a victim of poor marksmanship. The ranger dove over to his right, lifted his fingers to his mouth and gave a piercing whistle; the signal for the others to attack. He saw a man (who dropped a bow and drew his sword) start running towards him, thought surely there will be others. The battle for Sandrina's home had begun.
