"Yes Sir, no Problem."
She peers out the door and speaks to imaginary people, cracking the door just enough to see but not enough for him to get a full view. Then, as a bonus action, she casts Misty Step, attempting to teleport the maximum distance of 30' in the direction of the general balcony! Hopefully she can reach it.

OOC:
I'm not sure of the distance but she's teleporting West towards the balcony. Hopefully, she can teleport on it. Then she will use her full movement to run towards the quarters of Taysa and Anlo. If needed, she will use the Dash action to reach either Anlo's quarters or Taysa, whichever is closer. The NPCs should hear her hysterics "Its the Puppet Master! Its the Puppet Master!"Last edited April 9, 2024 7:20 pm

Khali
Khali spots the balcony (and it is just about 30 feet from the door). Her form suddenly is surrounded by silvery mist and then she disappears from her divination room.
She reappears on...
Each square is 5 feet.
There's no way off the balcony excpet the stairs that lead back down to the circus deck floor. Khali would know that under the balcony she could pass through the pen's and stables to the circus troupe’s quarters. So let me know if you really want Khali to misty step to the balcony.
Anlo
Anlo can feel his limbs again. His arms are bound, but his feet are not. He feels like he could move his feet as well as wiggle his fingers.

One thing to note is that Khali and Anlo both have sending trinkets on them. Apr 9, 2024 9:11 pm
Anlo, realizing he can move his fingers, will try to pull one of the throwing spikes he has along the back of his belt. If he can get it, he will use it to help pry his bonds loose so he can slip them. (Otherwise he will just try to work his hands free.)

Sleight of Hand roll of 19. Nice! Anlo's next physical action will have disadvantage as he get's over the affects.Apr 9, 2024 9:47 pm
After slipping his bonds, the young performer rips the bag off of his head and jumps to unsteady feet, trying to follow the damned thief who took their evidence and ran!

Out of curiosity, were the belts holding the door closed cut or unbuckled?Last edited April 9, 2024 9:47 pm

OOC:
Ma, I don't know if this will change your decision about Anlo's current action in the room or not, but Anlo heard the movement pick up in the room again after the door closed.The belts were sliced cleanly with a sharp blade. (Though they were cut by steady and stealthy rogue hands, I probably should have had Anlo hear something that sounded like the belts being cut.)
Seck says:
Khali"Yes. Hurry to get rid of them," replies Zephyros, rather emotionlessly. He steps to the side of the door, keeping his sword out of sight of the doorway but still pointing it at Khali.
Anlo
Anlo hears Pippin Shadowstep move about the quarters. It sounds like he steps into the hall for a moment and then the door closes. Shortly after the sound of movement in the room continues.

OOC:
So, it looks like she would materialize about 30 ft from the Pen/Stable entrance then she would need to move to the Pen/Stable Door. Then, she would have to take her action (Dash) to move 30 more feet which would end her turn somewhere in the stables so technically she isn't quite there yet. Now that I'm looking carefully I realize...it's a BIG SHIP! lolLast edited April 10, 2024 4:39 pm

OOC:
I guess... did it sound like he entered the room again after he went into the hall? I read it that he exited the room, the door closed, then there was more movement in the room. Maybe he can't tell, but my thought was... if you listen to someone walk away on your right but then you hear movement on your left, I wouldn't assume it was the same individual.
I'll roll, just in case. Oh, he didn't hear a thing. Screw it.

Don't worry about the roll. I was imagining that Anlo heard Pipin step out of the room for a moment and then come back in. I just wasn't clear in my description.So, Anlo would have be aware that Pipin was still in the room when he stealthily cut his bindings.

Khali is continuing to run towards the rooms of Taysa and Anlo. Whoever's room she comes to first will determine her course of action.

Khali
By a few slivers of pale moonlight shining on the circus deck through sparse openings in the big top tent, Khali dashes across the circus floor into the pen and stables. She hears movement of the captain behind her just before she crosses the threshold into the animal area. She hastily continues through, some animals are startled by her hurried movement and shift uncomfortably, stirring and making noise. Dashing to the back right (starboard) side of the pens, she hears the animals' unrest intensify as Zephyros enters the stable area behind her. She darts through a back door into a hall of the lower circus troops quarters. She continues toward the starboard bow tower where Anlo's quarters are on the upper level.

OOC:
is Khali still hooting and hollering, making noise? (By the way, Khali doesn't necessarily know this because Tasya made her decision after leaving Khali's divination room, but, Tasya went to her dressing room instead of her quarters.)Apr 13, 2024 2:33 am
Anlo
When Anlo stands and takes the bag off his head. He sees Pippin Shadowstep standing just a few feet away looking at the door in waiting. The hin--who stands between Anlo and the door--is alerted by Anlo standing up and snaping to action. The hin looks at Anlo with a swift glance and quickly throws the hood of his cloak over his head, consequently disappearing from Anlo's sight.

As soon as Khali enters the Troupe's Quarters she starts making a scene again, 'hooting, hollering and making noise
"Tasya! Anlo! Anybody! Help! It's the Puppet Master! Its an invasion! To arms!"
She starts banging on doors, especially Tasya's and Anlo's doors.

OOC:
I'm thinking a ship like this must have some kind of security considering the threat of pirates, brigands, thieves, etc... even if it's the performers themselves who are expected to defend the ship. There might be bells strategically placed, or some other alarms. Performers might have weapons and other devices ready for attacks. Maybe I'm making too many assumptions.Last edited April 15, 2024 2:16 pm

If he was in plain sight when Anlo stood up, Anlo would have engaged immediately. I'm assuming the cloak takes an action to pull the hood up, so I'll roll initiative. He may well still go first though.He goes first.

Khali
Khali's raucous scene that includes banging on doors results in many troupe members and roustabouts coming hastily out into the hall. Some appear tired and puzzled, others snap to alert, pulling daggers and other weapons. Caspian, the troupes lead roustabout, calls to some other of his roustys to examine the direction Khali came from. They respond, weapons drawn, and head down the hall toward the stables.
Caspian catches up with Khali, "Khali, Khali calm down. Tell me what has happened, The Puppet Master? Invasion?"

Khali confirms they are going in the right direction by pointing towards the stables.
"It's the Captain. He's a well dressed Rakasta with a curved sword. He's trying to abduct me! If you can, keep him alive. He's charmed or something but be careful, he's a Master Warrior!"
She then looks around puzzled. Anlo should be here! She heads straight to his room to see why he isn't.

Anlo
Anlo tries to quickly react to the sight of Pippin. When the hin becomes invisible, he throws a spike trying to anticipate the hin's movement. His instinct proves correct and the spike hits the hin, accompanied by a sharp gasp from the halfling. The door swings open and Anlo hears quick, light footsteps evade down the hall.
Simultaneously, Anlo hears the distant shouts of Khali's voice. Her voice is muffled, not in this tower. It sounds like she shouts from the lower level troupe quarters, near the stables.
