Liv remains trapped, the agents set an ambush

Liv looked about the room, not entirely sure what she was looking for, but now fully suspecting some form of trickery. Whoever she had gone after must have known she was looking, or they wouldn't have vanished so carefully. And if they were aware of her, then.... they must be aware of Becky as well!

Liv whirled around, only to find that the door was shut, her attempts to open it rebuffed by the powerful lock. The completely non-magical sniper had no way of even interacting with a magical locking spell, much less of trying to bypass it. She had played right into their hands.

Liv cursed, pacing like a caged beast. Why in the Hells had she let Fuu talk her into leaving her rifle behind? Without so much as a dagger, she was completely and utterly useless. All she could do was wait, for her friends to come find her, or for her enemies to try and collect their trapped prey.

The agents outside weren't sure of what to expect from the woman trapped in the empty storeroom, but they knew well how ferocious some people could be when backed into a corner, so they proceeded with caution. From what they could hear from outside she was walking around the room, occasionally cursing. From the Intel they had recieved, they realized she was entirely unarmed, and wasn't very well trained in hand-to-hand. This would make things far easier.

They still remained cautious as they approached the door and silently undid the seal. They had numerous agents able of fighting at close quarters, lead by Master Ironeye, a somewhat famous exotic master who was capable of immobilizing enemies using his knowledge certain key nervous points in the body.

The plan was to allow her to leave the room, waiting in the darkness to strike once she came out. If she took too long they could always go in after her, but letting her come to them mitigated the risk as much as possible. With a signal from Master Ironeye, the agents took their positions, some drinking stealth potions, waiting for the moment to strike as the door slowly fell open, the magical seal dissipating into the air.
