If she wants to initiate combat on this on any future round, a roll of 11 or higher on Initiative will allow her to go ahead of the cloaked figure. Screams, cries, and or fighting may draw someone from the Tavern.<br/><br/><hr/><strong>IC Stables adjacent to the Dancing Wench</strong><br/><br/>Rayena was profuse with her thanks to Mae for packing as Rayena, and the other wives busied themselves serving the customers.<strong>"Thank'ye muchly.  The kids are industrious, but they can get in trouble if left to their own devices, and the celebration here is all hands on board.  With your help, we'll be able to leave as soon as the last customer passes out."</strong><br/><br/>There was not much that Rayena and her family wanted to take along - primarily provisions for the trip - food, water, camping gear. The children made quick work of packing, and Mae was somewhat surprised when her familiar announced the arrival of a visitor to the stables.<br/><br/>A hooded and cloaked figure with a rapier in one hand and a hooded lantern entered the stables.<strong>"Ho, what have we here?  I was looking to steal a horse to steal.  Instead, I have the treasure packed up on several beasts and a fair maiden like a cherry on top."</strong>
