[Outer Verto] Skaylen's Workshop

[Lilly Mato]

Lilly gave the bone sap a tentative heft before swinging it as hard as she could at the back of their man's head.

[DarkAbyssKeeper]

Incoherent muttering turned to a sharp exhale as the sap connected with the back of the man's head. He fell forward and slammed into the floor in front of Ria. After a moment he groaned and started to push himself up on his hands.

[Avorianna]

Ria acted quickly and jumped on his back to push him back down while he was trying to get back up, she took out her dagger and put it against his neck, putting pressure up against it but not enough to draw blood. She spoke in a calm commanding voice, "I would not move if I were you. I have found a main vein in your neck, you would bleed out way before your water magic was able to stop it. Any slight move anywhere and I plunge this in your neck. Got it!? Amy dear, have I ever told you that I won a contest for the quickest dissection of a dear on record yet?" Ria did not lie about the deer thing, she decided it was best and made up a name for Lilly, just in case the guy got away, he at least wouldn't know their names. Ria looked at Lilly wide eyed and mouthed 'KNOCK HIM OUT!' She then focused on the guy on the ground making sure he did not move.

Silkie watched for a moment, fully knowing Ria would not kill the man and then quickly began to look outside... hoping no one came to the mill.

[Lilly Mato]

Lilly dutifully and happily went about the task of thumping the man on the head until he stopped being conscious.

[DarkAbyssKeeper]

Which he did in rather short order. The effects of Lilly's saps probably had something to do with it, the glacier conditioned to resist the cold was dripping with sweat by the time he fell unconscious.

Kage was by now just outside the upstairs window. He heard a thud, some mumbling and a serious of wet thuds coming from inside. From somewhere behind him he heard hooves.

Silkie saw a rider on horseback approaching.

[Avorianna]

Ria took a large deep breath and got off his back, she grabbed the rope and tied him up real tight, putting both his legs, arms and hands behind his back. She grabbed some twine out of her bag on her pocket and tied up his hands making sure his fingers were tied in such a way that he could not use magic that depended upon moving his hands. She tore a piece of cloth off the bed and tied it around his head to cover his sight, then she stuffed a piece of cloth in his mouth large enough that he couldn't talk... and she then tied his mouth just in case.
She looks at Lilly and smiles awkwardly pointing to her tying method.
" I uh.... I'll explain this later... He shouldn't be able to use movement magic though.. hopefully."
Silkie pushes air inside to everyone in the mill "Rider on horseback approaching. I shall pretend I am the guards, hiding in fields and mill or.... scare pony...."
Silkie moves near the window and pushes air around the rider to make it seem like there are people hiding in the fields that he is walking past. She focused on sounding as human as possible using the 2 guards at the gate from earlier as voices.
man 1 "What is taking them so long? I thought this guy said he would have a buyer soon."
man 2 "You excited to go back to your guard post?"
man 1 "Guard duty beats waiting out here in the sun for some dealer to buy that cask. I can't believe that kid squealed and told us everything. Wait.. what if there are a bunch of them coming?"
man 2 "That is why we hid some guards inside, dumbass. We wouldn't be stupid enough to be here alone!"
man 1 "SHHH! I see someone approaching! This is going to be good! Finally some action!"
Silkie also pushed some air around the horse in a pitch only it could hear, trying to make the horse upset and refuse to walk farther.

[Kage]

Figuring stealth wasnt the goal anymore, he opened the window, slipped inside, grabbed the cask and slipped it into his void space. Then, he slunk down to the ground floor to check in his companions.

[Lilly Mato]

As Kage came down the stairs Lilly looked up from Ria's hog-tying.

"Welcome to the party, Kitten. Did you grab the keg?" she asked.

[Kage]

As Kage came down, he gave a nod of approval. Though he missed seeing that the man was unconscious through the impressive tie job. "Good work, but playtime comes later okay? Although that should make transport easier.

The cask is secured. I suggest that we do your transport method, little one, and have the gusty one take us out upstairs. Then we go back and deliver, unless you want to hang out here and see who hired him to try and collect an additional bonus for future protections. Your call ladies." He was intentionally vague, as he wasn't exactly sure who was able to eavesdrop on them.

[DarkAbyssKeeper]

The rider outside slowed down a little at the voices, looking confused. Having drawn a little closer Silkie could see that the rider was a woman with auburn hair wearing a leather trench coat. The rider tilted her head to one side... and looked directly at the air spirit.
