Nobody Scores

Viermaes hides besides the doorway, and waits for the ranger to come in. Long, still, silent minutes pass - the ranger isn't stupid enough to take the bait.

She begins to chant in Draconic, weaving a shield of sorcery around herself, hoping that the ranger will mistake the spell and come charging in. She finishes the spell without interruption, and a glowing shroud of runes settle across her body.

Then, she hears

(A1) the clatter of a smoke bomb rolling across the floor.

(A2) the creak of a trapdoor opening in the empty room.

(A3) the faint sound of swords being drawn.

(A4) a soft gurgle, like someone getting stabbed in the throat.

(A5) more nothing.

Though she doesn't know, this has been caused by

(B1) the ranger.

(B2) another elf coming to their aid.

(B3) a kobold assassin.

(B4) something else entirely.
