(GOING TO USE THIS AS OUTSIDE, ANYWHERE as INSIDE)

Frank sees a black van approaching the Textile factory. And there's glamour in there.. Kithain? There was only supposed to be the Balor

"Lut, Adam. Company. Be ready, but stay inside." Frank busies himself around the Rig and trailer doing trucker things.

Lut nods "Got it, Mountain."

Sparrow, sees this as well.

She goes to the edge of the roof and looks down to see if her people are in place.

Gerd is below, holding the door open for now, looking up, a question in her eyes "Going in? "

"Van coming!"

"Oh joy" Gerd says

Sparrow backs off from the edge, taking a minute to tie up the snoozing guard. Just in case.

As she does that, the van closes

It's approaching Frank's truck

Back to the edge with rifle in hand.

Frank tinkers around, glances at the factory and up towards the roof.

Wings!

The van opens up and a figures in a security guard looking sort of costume come out ... "Shit" the redcap in the outfit says "Now what is a blue boy doing here?"

Frank doesn't do much noticing of the 'cap.... or at least, he doesn't LOOK like he does.

A disinterested glance at the 'cap. "Working."

"Move it" A scowl

ANd another cap comes out

Frank moves so those watching the cab can see the 'caps.

(Came out of the van?)

"Plan to. Waiting to load up."

(Yes)

"Load up with what?" DOUBTING brow

"Cargo." Frank grunts.

"Yeah? What's the security clearance?" A sniff

"Security clearance? Look, don't care what the cargo is, just picking up and driving."

"Grab him.. if he's on the up and up they can let him go.." And the redcaps charge frank, meaning to grapple him! Adam can see there are FOUR Redcaps... and all rushing the MOuntain

A shot rings out!

Someone is shooting the van!

Frank brings up his tiretapper to attack whoever reaches him first, trusting those in the cab to take action. The gunshot surprises him and he evades instead!

And suddenly the redcaps are.. far less organized, as the furtherest back one slides UNDER the van

Three on one, Lut charges out and plunges a spear into a redcap's leg

Adam likewise hops down (a further drop for him) and brings his sword up to attack.

Adam slashes and cuts. Blood flows, the second redcap SNARLS at him "Going to wear your skull as a hat!"

And Adam..feels no fear!

Fiona.... most annoying of houses to Redcaps

But Sparrow feels the gun in her hand suddenly crumple as one of the redcaps targets not her, but it, with a cantrip

That's fine - by now, the van should be disabled.

She launches off the edge of the building, to join the fight!

The caps forget grappling... weapons.. guns and clubs!

.....which might give the fighters on the ground a chance to get a few licks in.

And they do... Adam slashes. A redcap bites at him but gets shoulder blocked by Lut!

And Sparrow streaks by , and leaves a groove in the rflesh of a redcap who could not stare at such wrath beauty directly

"HA!" Adam stabs again!

Swoop-and-slash!

Frank is doing his best to thump the redcaps near him and put them down.

Thunder rolls again, and the Redcaps near frank scream as lightning forks and hits them

"Stop playing, Frank. They need the truck" Jaymes saYs with such a serious face only another troll might realizes he's got a smile in there somewhere
