Looking out, the fact that most of his view is obstructed by what appears to be the distended stomach of one of the assailants doesn't bode well.  Trying to decide how he should approach the situation, Kaelen almost misses the vial that gets tossed inside.<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Orange Fur wrote:</cite>"I've got something they can chomp on."</div></blockquote><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Oh, that can't be goo-</span><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;">Entangle (1d20 + 15): 18 + 15 = 33 -&gt; Success<br/>Glued (1d20 + 15): 7 + 15 = 22 -&gt; Success</div></div></div><br/>Although he suffers more than a few scalding burns, he's able to at least turn his shoulder so that most of the tarry substance lands on his back.  Reaching up, he tears off his cloak, stuffing the clasp in a pouch, and flings it out one of the windows.  Knocking open the door opposite the one Constable Thuror was exiting, Kaelen makes a familiar slashing motion with his sword before slipping onto the roof, disappearing from sight as he does so.<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;">Knowledge (Local) (1d20 + 8 ): 20 + 8 = 28 -&gt; Success<br/>Climb check (1d20 + 16): 20 + 16 = 36 -&gt; Success...yay 20s?  <img alt=":D" src="./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" title="Very Happy"/></div></div></div><br/><span style="font-style: italic">The Alley Cats.  Why doesn't this surprise me? Only they would be both brazen enough and stupid enough to try something like this on a night like tonight.

Trusting in his invisibility to give him the edge, as well as the drop on his opponent, he jumps just before Brown Cloak, plants both feet on his chest, just above his solar plexus, and shoves off.
