The guard stumbles back, clutching at his scarred and burnt chest. He glares at Sashi- or rather, in Sashi's general direction; his vision is too blurry to manage any better- and offers her a painfully forced grin.<br/><br/>"Don't matter," he gasps. "You're ripe 'n' plucked when the lictors come..." With that, he slumps against the wall, unconscious.<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Sashi wrote:</cite>"Nice effort for it, but it looks like for the moment flight is out of the question... as is subtlety. You better look the guy over and take his spear."</div></blockquote><br/>"Right-o." Ciro begins stripping the guard of his belongings, announcing each new discovery to Sashi before laying the item at his side. From the way he conducts himself, it's clear he's done this many times before.<br/><br/>"So, how are we gonna get out of here?" he asks.  "We can't go through the slave pens now, or the guards'll nab us for sure. And we can't go back..."<br/><br/>Ciro pauses for a moment to manhandle the frogman into a better position to remove his armor. The chainmail shirt seems much smaller in the his hands than it did on the guard- almost perfectly squirrel-sized, in fact.<br/><br/>"I guess we gotta try that way, huh?" Ciro suggests, indicating the double-locked inner door (the one to Sashi's right as she entered).<br/><br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;"><span style="color: brown"><span style="font-size: 120%; line-height: 116%;"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">[Status]</span></span></span><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Sashi:</span> HP: 95/105 (90%)   [AC: 24 (+8 <span style="font-style: italic">+1 full plate</span> (donned hastily), +3 natural armor, +3 dex)]   <span style="font-style: italic">18 non-lethal damage</span><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Bullywug:</span> HP: -2/52 (0%)   <span style="font-style: italic">unconscious</span></span><br/><span style="color: orange"><span style="text-decoration: underline">[Treasure]</span><br/>masterwork shortspear<br/>+1 chain shirt<br/>flask of strong-smelling brown liquid<br/>keyring (4 large keys, 11 small keys) (identical to Sashi's current keyring)</span></div></div></div>
