Giving Albali a nod and a tight grin, Kaheksa follows Eiyre over to back up Xarithe, both groups situating themselves on the doors accordingly. The water bearers gone, nobody else is astir outside the barracks, though how long that'll remain true seems to be the likeliest way to stop that. Sira coils up in front of the door, preparing to spring. Sira appears to consider her companion's question for a second, flicking her tongue out and in, before slowly shaking her ponderous head once and orienting back on the door, waiting. Without any other intelligence on the way, Xarithe takes a deep breath, putting one scaled hand on the door, and<span style="font-style: italic">pushing.</span>With sensitive elf ears, Albali can hear the creak, and motions Ambrosia to open the door as well, giving both of them a view. It's a simple building, no walls on the inside; eight straw beds and a large rectangular table, on which there's a number of weapons. A quick count shows eight guards inside the building, having one straight hallway through and through with occasional torches on the wall showing wood floor and packed earthen walls; four of them are humans in various states of undress and two with a flail on belts of drab tunics, all looking comically surprised. Two short gnomes near the center of the hall look up as well, mouth open and long slings being polished- a pair of black-furred felines already kitted out in armor and with shields and swords at the ready snap into a crouch, bellowing almost before the echo of the door fades, "RAID! CAPTAIN!"<br/><br/>The 'captain' soon unfolds herself- the only female in the building- from a bed, briefly taking Xarithe's breath away.<a class="postlink" href="http://i.imgur.com/0bkgiss.jpg">A mammoth naga</a>with green and tan scales climbing all the way up to her chest and the same color human flesh above it glares down both halls, fangs bared and muscles the size of watermelons bunching under her skin; near the tip of her tail lies a nearly unnoticeable distension that marks a meal in the past day that hasn't yet been disposed of. Nothing sags; she seems built like a slab of muscle at least as long as Sira, and probably just as wide around. "We trained for this." She says in a surprisingly soft, quiet voice as she slithers off the bed. "Do your jobs." Dark hair sways behind her down to where snake meets human, the rustling sound triggering no small amount of memories for the druid.<br/><br/>"She's new..." Kaheksa murmurs behind Xarithe, with distrust in her voice.<br/><br/><br/>[[BEEP BEEP BEEP Combat started!
