The party was about to set their attacks on the next unexpected gaurd. When multiple impacts of projectiles hit the gaurd in the back of the neck well into the softer areas not fully protected by its armor.
Another Gaurd is also slain Simontainouly and just as quietly. It seams there were other thing(s) who may have gotten inside and were offing gaurds as well.
For sake of ease the second band will have rolled high enough to not have the gaurds spot them but low enough to have the current party see the 4 individuals. I would also say even tho the party rolled extremely good on stealth, bad guys are still not altered but to have intro ductions having both sides see eachother would make for better intros standpoint.
I am happy to note we do have a new player joining us.
Please introduce yourself the player and what your character looks like and what visible gear they would have on.

Behind the fallen guards you see a male humans slowly step out of the shadows with a crossbow trained in your direction. He is wearing all black, including studded leather armour which has been stained black, a pair of leather boots which have also been stained black and a long black cloak. You see a strange looking quiver on his back with what looks like crossbow handles and a sword sticking out of it. He slowly makes his way towards you, crossbow trained, eyes never leaving the group. "You have 5 seconds to tell me why you shouldn't meet the same fate as these guys" he says as he notices you all look different to the rest of the guards he has seen.
Hi guys, I've put a post in the out of character thread introducing myself. I'm Andy and my character is Bryn Calder

Alerted by her familiar Callo shifted back to her usual form and signalled the others.
To Bryn she seems out of place in clothes both practical and stylish but of no style that he is familiar, carrying a silvered stave, a elegant breastplate one might expect of an elven warrior - if such were still a thing in these lands, but with no blade save for a dagger at her belt.
She stands as one not ready to attack but a subtle glisten of frost about her and an unassuming confidence in her gaze suggests a hidden power.
In response to the challenge Callo replies, "well we are clearly not the dragons men, so unless you are on quite the rampage down here I see little reason to come to blows" For an long hidden secret passage this place was certainly popular.

Katril is a blond elf with the usual long pointed ears. She's wearing a short sleavless dress, long gloves past her elbows and long boots past her knees. She's wearing a backback, but doesn't appear to have any weapons.
Picture available in character section
OOC: Editing post, didn't see the challenging post when I first posted this.
After a very rapid approach, Katril stops her attack before it started since her target was already falling, and asks the stronger, "Any more guards left in that direction??3="

You see Bryn visibly soften and lower his crossbow but keep it at the ready. He approaches the group and keeping his voice low he says
"It sounds like there's one more around the corner over there" he motions with his crossbow "And there seems to be more to the south and the west"

Katril explains, "The one around the corner is one of us impersonating a guard so they don't notice one missing. We were just about to start working our way west one at a time. Care to join us?"

Bryn bows slightly and gestures ahead "After you" and falls into step behind them

(see my previous post for that, as I had incorrectly assumed you got to all of us)
"What has brought you here, if I may ask?"

"I've been sent to find someone, Arianna. She has gone missing and she is important..." Bryn tails off slightly

Callo glances over to the others at the name before replying, "what does she look like? Do you expect to find her in the prison above?"

OOC: I though we were in one of the prison blocks, with the prisoners lowered into pits

( @ harknail : That is correct you all are in a section of the prison.
Arianna was captured a few days after the two monks were so its quite fessable others might try to find her she never talked about where she was from. )

"That is what I had assumed yes. Have you seen anyone of her description?" Bryn describes her to the best of his abilities.
OOC: Are there any commands/shortcuts for making the text bold or green for on mobile? Like on discord if you put * at the start and end of a sentence it makes it bold

To save some time
There is a ranger with the strike team the party just meet. Who will recast pass without trace on the party. So instead of having everyone reroll a stealth check I'm just going to apply the +10 to the overall group stealth thats already higher then gaurds passive perception result/total.
This means its very much impossible for these gaurds in the area to notice the infiltration team.
Also the liklyhood of them surviving that many surprise attacks from that many Pcs is extremely low.
So its more a question does the party want to roll out taking out each gaurd in this section?
Or for sake of game play do we want to get to where you try to get into the center section of this area and have all the outer gaurds taken out.

I think we've got our attack pattern down pat where taking out the outer guards is just repetitious. I'm ready to start invading the inner area...
Not that the time spent killing the rest of the guards isn't useful. It gives us a chance to bond with our new teammates.
By the way, has Katril seen the person described when she was in the main prison block?

( You all know her quite well, some of you she was imprisoned with : Arianna has been with the two monks for the longest while they were locked up together by the Red Army. She was captured by the Red Army after they were, but showed she could heal. So she sent on the scouting trip with them. She is one of the 2 party clerics. That is when they meet up with Callo and the others during the cave fight. She was with all of you at the Hidden Temple and is currently in the hidden section that was made to sneak into the prison. Because she is not as sneaky she stayed back with some of the others.
Bryn's description of her is spot on so there is no mistaking who she is. )

"I've been sent to find someone, Arianna. She has gone missing and she is important..." Bryn tails off slightly Callo glances over to the others at the name before replying, "what does she look like? Do you expect to find her in the prison above?"Katril speaks up, " Arianna was captured a little after my brother and I let ourselves be captured. She was assigned to the same team to scout the tunnels. She's not as good at sneaking around as we are, so she's waiting in the escape tunnel we reopened." Katril will lead him to where the non-stealthy members are waiting, anouncing, "Arianna, someone was sent to look for you." OOC: Hopefully he wasn't sent to kill her, or we're going to have a character fight right quick.

Oh Hi Mr Calder, Nice to see you. Sorry i was not able to check back in sooner. I'm sorry you lot had to come all this way, i can assume because you did things back there are not going well and they need me back.
I was hoping i would find a means of escape but the stories of this place lived up to legend well that is until we broke out only to brake back in.
I'm sure your wondering how this all came to be, just know I had every intent in coming back. So i tied to find the Temple of Isis but was not able to, so I turned around to start to come home unfortunately I was captured by Mercenaries on my way back. They took me here and sold me to the Red Army.
I was not worth much but they were payed. Once the Red Army knew i could mend others they put me on a scouting team. Its then i meet the siblings Katril and Fiseath, as well as i meet Kizthe Haldirheim not sure where she is, Oh she is impersonating a Red Army guard at the moment. Anyway our scout team was tasked with a recon mission down a cave tunnel. We took the time we had to explore and ran into Ms Callo, Varis, Wind and Omar. There were some monsters in the caves we teamed up so that we would not suffer any losses of our respective teams. We formed one team from then on with the idea to free the dwarfs imprisoned here. To not bore you I'll skip to just before we got back in here. We found there were secret ways back into this here cell block, with some magic we got in and our sneaky experts starting offing the guards.
You are now up to speed with what happened to me.
