Lia looks at the group." Poljen, Mari, Oswald and Zarra take the lead. Up the stairs we go. We seek the gate but hopefully we can get closer to it before they notice us this way."
Mari steps up to the front with the others and draws her blade out. She waits for the others that Lia named.
Out of Character: : The stairs lead to the gate as well. It is slower but hopefully a stealthier approach.

Zarra will nod, saying softly, "As you advise." The drow will follow Poljen, Mari, and Oswald up the stairs with her hand crossbow at ready though she was mentioned before will keep an eye out for a place in she she can keep to the shadows to attack.
Since Zarra was already hidden, the drow will give a gesture for the others to step back while she prepares her hand crossbow to attack the guard once he came around the corner.
Knowing his companions are probably better at taking this guard down quietly, Poljen gestures for them to stay hidden, waits a moment, then begins to back up, his sword ready. He is not trying to be quiet, but neither is he trying to make noise. He figures he will make enough noise to draw the guard's attention, or at least be standing in the open, and Zarra, Oswald and Mari can quickly overwhelm him.
Out of Character: : If some form of roll is needed, please let me know.

Mari looks at the guard and Zarra and hides against the wall right by the corner. She has her twin blades drawn and will ambush him if Zarra's bolts fail to kill him. She works to calm her heart rate as this is what she is trained to do.
Out of Character: : She will lunge out and strike at the guard with both blades using her bonus action. With her magic sword she has advantage in initiative. She hopefully will get to strike in a surprise round where all hits are crits due to the assassin rules. Mari will get advantage in her strikes against the guard if she gets to attack him before he can strike also due to the assassinate ability.

The guard walks up to the door without passing through, stands there for a moment, then turns around and begins walking back the other way.
Without prompting, Mari slips in, steps up behind the man, and shoves a dagger into his back, just beneath the ribs.
Suddenly unable to breath, the cultist falls over. There is panic on his face as he keeps opening and closing his mouth, but cannot manage to draw in air.
