Closer to the source of magic, the Darkness source - up ahead - turned out to be very close to a Fire source of roughly equal strength - namely that of a somewhat weak mage, or a low-level Elemental. The two were roughly ahead of Ronan and Melasni, albeit slightly to the right, and the Light sources were some way off the left, and moving further away.

"Hmmm that's odd the light sources are moving away. But the dark source and a new Fire one are just ahead... could be what we're looking for lets take a look but keep quiet." Said Ronan taking the lead trying to move silently as they get close to the source.

Melasni moved after him, choosing for now to take the Child of Earth's lead as they approached a squat building that appeared totally abandoned.
[OOC: This will soon be combining with Fintan's subplot - but not quite yet.]

Ronan circles the building examining it.

The only obvious way in is the front door, guarded by two sleepy-looking guards - although there is an open window on the upper floor, and the rough stonework of the wall looks somewhat climbable.

"All right I'm going in. Hang back and only intercede if I look like I need it, that way you can run for back up from the Lundrig guard if everything goes wrong." Said Ronan looking at Melasni. He then moves into position as close to the door as he can get while feeling confident he won't be noticed and says to Aron see if you can get to the other side of that door and knock against it repeatedly hopefully that will draw there attention and might even get them to open the door for me."

Aron zipped forwards, and into a tiny pebble, which promptly hurled itself at the door several times, producing a loud knock, before Aron scuttled back into his home in Ronan's hammer. A few seconds later, a rather confused-looking bandit opened the door with a "Hello?"

(OOC: I was under the impression the guards were outside the door seeing as Ronan could see them?) Ronan waits hammer ready to see if the Guard will leave the building and search for the source of the knock.

[OOC: Oops. So they were; we can roll with it!]
The rather sleepy guard outside the door blinked awake in confusion. "Uh..."
The guard on the inside frowned, and rapped the top of the sleepy one's helmet with a loud clang. "You knocked? Why? Your shift ends at sundown."
The unfortunate guard shook his head to clear it. "I didn't knock! Thought you did..."

Rather displaying their own lacklustre intelligence, both guards drew their swords and moved around the side of the building as soon as Aron made a series of sounds with a few small pebbles, trying his best to mimic the sound of footsteps running away. The door was now left unguarded - at least as far as Ronan could see.

Ronan moves within charging distance as quietly as he can then charges at the nearest one taking a swing at him. (ooc: non-lethal strikes if possible. Also I'm assuming I'm behind them.)

[OOC: Using a hammer so non-lethal is absolutely possible. You get the jump on them so I'm throwing in a +2 for the poor sod being a) not very smart, and b) completely unawares.]
The hammer connected with the first guard, and he collapsed to the ground, instantly unconscious.
[OOC: Order of combat: Ronan, other guard.]

Ronan turns on the second guard striking hard and fast. He wanted to finish this quickly in case he drew unwanted attention. (OOC: Rapid attack, non-lethal)

[OOC: Rapid attack: 3 attacks at -4 coming up.]
Ronan's first swing at the second guard came with perhaps surprising accuracy, considering how fast it was swung. Too slow to react, the guard was hit in the chest and crumpled without a sound.

Moving quickly back to the door he presses against the wall and peers round the corner.

The hallway was empty - it had a closed doorway to the left, and open doorway to the right that seemed to lead to a kitchen, and ahead of Ronan were some wooden stairs heading upwards, carpeted and comfortable, and some stone steps heading down into a dank, depressing-looking dungeon.

Ronan Checks to see if the room with the open door is empty, again staying against the wall and peering around the corner.

The room with the open door was indeed empty - a fairly standard (dirty) kitchen, with a few low benches to eat at. Somewhat bizarrely, right as Ronan peeked past, a bandit ran up from the basement steps, screaming his head off, with his trousers rapidly burning. He ran right past Ronan, barely even noticing him, and grabbed a jug of water from the side, throwing it over the fire and extinguishing it. [OOC: See this post for context! Obviously Ronan has no context though.] |

Ronan looks at the man in confusion for a few seconds then wanders up to him and hits him. (OOC: Still non-lethal assume until otherwise stated, Rapid attack)

As with the last two guards, the man collapsed instantly to the ground at Ronan's first attack, unconscious - probably a blessing in disguise, considering where he had been burned.

Ignoring the closed door for now Ronan rushes down the stairs to see what was going on.
