Viani follows Ephwrath, if only because of her own curiosity. When she sees the dead body, she stumbles backwards and reaches for the ranseur on her back. This is the first time she's seen a dead body up close and she's feeling nauseous. She awkwardly fumbles with her weapon for a few seconds before she gets a good grip on it.
Then she looks around, attempting to see if she can spot any immediate danger to the group.

Ember cautiously grabs the crossbow she saved in Yelnar’s cart, hooking the quiver to her hip and loading one bolt.
Oh, come on, guys. This place is creepy, but this close to the wards you’d think things would have given up by now.
She freezes for a moment when she sees the body. Her face betrays an unpleasant memory.

From an alleyway a little farther down the road to the harbor, the party hears a crashing sound, the sound of wooden crates toppling and falling to the ground. In the relative silence of the harbor district, it sounds loud in your ears.
The members of the other party must have heard it to, as their attention perks up and toward the sound. Kramat draws his sword and shield and barks out suggestions (orders?) to the rest of his group to get ready.

Due to how tense she is, when the crates fall, Viani lets out a scream of surprise. She almost drops her weapon but catches it again before it hits the ground.
She blushes and clears her throat. "Should... should we check out what that was?"

Elora jumps back a step from both surprise and defensive instinct. "Could be a monster, prepare yourself." Elora's voice is soft, but her tone is far from scared as her training kicks in. She draws her rapier slowly, staring intently towards the origins of this noise. "Rule 1: Always expect an ambush."

Does anyone else have stealth?

Ephwrath rises from examining the body, fastening a cork onto a small vial he pulled from his belt pouch. Inside are some hairs and small pieces of rotten flesh that he carefully removed from the body with what looks like shiny metal hand tools. "Hmmm... I've never seen anything like this before. This human is... not quite human. I would say that he's been dead for about three weeks, and these bite marks appear to be humanoid as well... Fascinating!"
Upon hearing the crashing noise, he quickly stows the vial back in his belt and returns to the group. Weapon ready.

Yelnar hears the crashing sound but still has an urgency the others seem to lack. He stops briefly to check that he can drop the straps and wield his Bardiche at a moments notice, then continues forward, albeit a little more warily. If it comes to a fight he wants a bit of separation anyway.

An overpowering stench of decaying, rotting matter emanates from the same alleyway. Rancid flesh. Rotting seaweed.
Footfalls sound in whatever it was that fell over in the alleyway. Cracking, breaking boards, stumbling footsteps through the debris.
The elf Epau has returned to Kramat's side, and he turns to look in the opposite direction. "It's coming from this side too. We're about to be surrounded, whatever it is!"

Ember tries to position herself as far away from the alley mouths as possible, then lightly taps her skin. With a word that sounds like a metal door shutting, her skin feels cold, then warm, then nothing. She speaks quietly and readies her crossbow, not yet willing to waste a spell. Which is saying something, for the sorcerer.
So, uh, plan?

Now realising that it seems like confrontation is unavoidable, Yelnar will drop his sled, and seek to position himself in such a way that he can be something of a bottleneck from the alleyway, while still allowing his allies to see into it.
OOC:
If he has time, he will ready an action to chop at the first thing to come into range.

Everyone please roll initiative when they have a chance, just so I have it ready. I will have some access on Friday, so we should be able to handle a combat okay.Just as a reminder, initiative is d20 + dex modifier + any feat bonuses. I don’t think anyone took improved initiative, so the last part may not apply to anyone yet.
