Firdle (NPC Mode) is having all sorts of bother getting onto the slippery back of the poop smeared pony.
Klarrrrchur, with his vice like grip, finds it easier but his blushes are covered by his bushy beard. A glance back at the slick cobblestones and at the window of the house above the street level suggests the latrine is as advanced as sticking ones posterior from the window.
The pair of Delvers jog their ponies forward and the tired beasts respond, albeit reluctantly.
=========
Will sees Klemitz and the Soldiers jogging along the street and waves at them.
Will had run off so fast he'd outpaced everyone, caught up with a group of the soldier disguised pirates and now faced three of them whilst the others shed their soldier garb.
The young warrior backs towards the mouth of the alleyway and pauses at a point where two, maybe three of them can get in if they long arm thrust. More likely two if they have to swing.
Can he hold them off long enough without becoming a pin cushion until Klemitz and his companions get here?
OOC You have two on you this round, THREE on you next round then Klemitz is here.
On the plus side you have a magic sword, a razor sharp crystal sword and crystal band mail that can - in theory - absorb anything that clatters against it.
Roll dem bones!

Will Darness
Will falls easily into a fighting stance. A tiny smile tugs at the corners of his mouth.
"Pirates, eh?" he murmurs. "But this lot don't look like Bluebeard to me. Blue <censored> maybe. Taste highly polished wood an' a magical sort of crystal, you dogs!"
ACTIONS
Strikes furiously, using 5 WIZ to double Asuwil to 10 dice.
Asuwil, 10d6 +2 warrior bonus
WillDarness rolls 12d6 = 3 +3 +3 +3 +6 +6 +1 +5 +2 +3 +2 +1 = 38
Vorpal sword, 4d6 +2 bonus
WillDarness rolls 6d6 = 4 +2 +1 +3 +6 +6 = 22
One explodes
WillDarness rolls 1d6 = 3
Personal adds (I think) 12
TOTAL 75

Klarrrrchur Deathaxe:
“Civilization, that a laugh. It was more hygienic back with Dhesiri!” Cursed Klarrrrchur loudly that most in the nearby households and pedestrians could hear him. This of course was not true as the Dhesiri are a bunch of unhygienic Bastardos.
He clatters down the road watching Klemtiz and his irregulars rush forth in front.
“A fine day for a bath in the ocean, that salt water can get any stain oot Master Firdle!”

Will faces off against two with short swords.
They don't look particularly skilled or capable, with only numbers to help them.
OOC The third one has a dagger and I threw that in as well, mistakenly. However...
pn rolls 8d6+2 = 4 +3 +1 +5 +4 +4 +4 +4 + 2=31 less apn rolls 1d6 = 3 total 28
Wills Vorpal effect... apn rolls 2d6 = 4 +4 8 apn: DARO apn rolls 2d6 = 2 +2 4 apn: DARO apn rolls 2d6 = 6 +5 11 (+19) for 29 damage on one opponent and 34 to split between the other two.
Will steps in. The vorpal sword seems to twist in his hand and flicks to the right, then the left. A surprised looking Pirate gapes before his head falls off and away to the side clonking on the floor like a coconut. Blood fountains from the stump which stands then falls backwards like a tree...
The other two, one with a short sword, the other a dagger, glance at their fellow. None is worth the scrapings off the sole of a boot though and they only pirate because they aren't good enough for much else. The magical Elven sword sweeps around in a blur, slashing an arm off at the elbow and scoring along the chest before the slime coated warrior pulls the blade back and punches it forwards. It slides easily through the chest of the dagger wielder and punches a foot from his back in a spray before it slides out.
In three heartbeats, three foes are dead. One is moaning and looking at his arm stump but pale by the second, the other two are gone. A heartbeat more and the severed arm pirate coughs up blood then gasps his last.
And that, is that.
OOC Will on 15/20 Wiz. Using average stats of 10 Will just earned 108AP, probably easiest AP he'll earn in a fight. I also need to add AP from SRs when I get home (it's 0253 on a bank holiday and I'm at work...).
The Pirates climbing back into their piratical garb gape. Three of their scurvy colleagues, though to be fair they didn't know them well enough to ask their names, are down. Dead, down, and out. They were alright as Seaman and in time might have done enough to be fair fighters. Now they was just meat, rotting on the alley floor.
They glance at each other, at their piles of clothes and leather armour that they'd not had time to put on, then decide discretion is the better part of valour! They turn to scram!
Klemitz huffs and puffs. First running to the gate, then after the young un with the poop slick hair... He had to admit though there was more about him. To all of them. A night in the jungle could either kill you or make you tougher it seemed.
Behind the two ponies trotted up to speed, steadily catching with Klemitz and his men. The Delvers see in the distance the fleet footed Will facing off against THREE opponents who looked half dressed but wielding short swords. Well, they did for about five seconds. Will decapitated one, ran another through and lopped the arm off another at the shoulder. Then the fight was over.
OOC Will can give chase or wait for his friends...

Klarrrrchur Deathaxe:
“Guess Will has gone bye, bye!” Grunts Klarrrrchur, “at them mi....!” The Dwarf pauses. He realises that there is more important things than dealing with the rank and file. Where was the wizard that could impersonate the captain of the guard with immaculate detail. Was it one of these chameleon lizard-men that had hired these layabouts to convince them of their sincerity. Where did they get the time to organise the armour, correct weapons and darn, were they wizards that knew exactly when to be at the gate to meet them.
“Find the imposter, search the alleys and open doors!”
If he was not with the others, though the Dwarf was not certain of this he must still be fleeing in armour of the Militia or could magically disguise itself and clothing to look like anything or person.
The Dwarf just decides to look for the plant. If Glarpy was here he could smell the thing like a senthound, but how could he explain that to him with Slyclaw dead and gone.

Sticks with Klarrrr and looks for the plant and imposter thief.
" Will he even still have it Klarrrrchur? If they want Rathmere dead all he has to do is chuck it in a fire or down a drain."

Will takes off down the alleyway and leaves the sight of the chasing soldiers and Delvers...
Klemitz huffed and puffed, regretting the slug of Uruck grog before bedtime. "That young un's gonna run inta trouble takin' off like that!" he wheezed.
Behind him Klarrrrchur and Firdle started to catch up on the slippery ponies. Clinging on as best they could they arrived at the alley end the same time as the soldiers...
The headless body, arm missing corpse and run through guy lay there. "Gentz! Stand 'ere, whistle three times an' keep people away. When someone gets round ta it, get this lot shuffled off ta th' morgue." He turns. "This way!"
Klemitz starts down the alleyway followed by the two soldiers the Delvers on pony backs.
=========
Behind him somewhere Will hears whistling. Three long blasts, repeated about ten seconds apart.
Somewhere else it was picked up, another three short blasts, ten seconds apart.
So it went, another three short blasts. Suddenly a bell run out three times, and was answered by another distant bell, and another.
Despite being early in the morning the town of Jepistra was used to being attacked by the jungle denizens and the pirates who sometimes called it home, or more likely by those who had decide Jepistra wasn't for them.
He'd run down the alleyway past discarded soldiers uniforms and hastily left clothes. The three remaining 'soldiers' had seen him down their fellows and wanted none of it!
He reached the end of the alleyway and turned. There!
Running up the cobbled street the three were, and glancing back at the poop dipped twin sword terror!
The three stopped to hammer on a door. Will was aware that the street here was very narrow and dark with overhanging buildings. The shutters were closed at street level but at any moment the first floor windows might empty out some of what Klarrrrchur slipped in...
As Will pounded closer to the building - nondescript house in the row - the door opened and the hapless Pirates pushed and bundled their way in!
A bearded face poked out, looked about, saw Will, scowled and the door slammed shut!
=========
The Sergeant and the Delvers rounded the end of the alleyway.
Klemitz had slowed when he saw the pile of soldiers clothing. "Someones' been at our laundry lads! When I find out, their guts won't be worth wearin' as garters!"
It seemed there were 'inside men and women' in the militia of Jepistra...
"Rollo! Scoop that stuff up and get back ta Gentz wi' it! Then get yer arse back this way!" barked Klemitz before he took off again.
Now the four of them (Sgt Klemitz, a soldier, Klarrrrchur and Firdle on pony back) rounded the alleyway corner and saw Will outside a door about a hundred feet up the narrow street.
OOC Will can try to pound the door in or wait for someone who is an expert in such matters...
Klemitz growled "I dunno oo ta trust. If they have spies, people who let 'em know stuff, they'll 'av been warned a you lot comin' back and stationed people ready. Slick operation this. They want Rathmere dead... but they wanted that plant too. Witch needs ta fill in th' blanks 'ere..." he huffs and puffs.
He adds "Franick - the REAL - Franick can ask 'er though. Gives me th' creeps she does..."

Will Darness
Seemingly determined to persist in this folly, Will hammers on the door.
"Open up in the name of, er, me!"
After a quick glance behind to make sure someone is still coming to assist, Will puts his shoulder to the oak.
ACTIONS
Will tries his strength against the door
WillDarness rolls 2d6 = 6 +4 = 10
10 + STR 20 = 30
If that doesn't work, Will waits for Klemitz and (if he is in view) Firdle.

Klarrrrchur Deathaxe:
“Cannot imagine a pirate, if they know the properties of the plant, letting go of a good deal. It must be worth a fortune to someone Master Firdle!”
Clattering behind the militia, Klarrrrchur saw what remains of Will's fencing duel, “ach, I so proud of him, he has improved well, so well!” A tear came to his right eyes as he brushed it way quickly least someone see it.
Watching Will hurl himself at the door, Klarrrrchur reins the pony to a stop and jumps off. “Not sure if I getting used to being covered in dung, it much safer not washing, because ten minutes later yer back in the Sh*t again!”

Actions of Dwarf... Ready weapons and watch top windows for snipers, he been there before...

Will is on a roll...
The warrior slams a foot into the door which CRACKS! The wooden frame around the middle bows inwards and it's a simple matter to shoulder the rest in then step back, swords ready...
It's dark inside. The doorway opens into a short hall with a passage left and right and stairs about ten foot inside the house going up to the next floor. Will hears thudding of feet suggesting those who just entered have gone upstairs.
Klemitz is blowing now, hard, and slows, huffing and wheezing. "Gettin' too old... fer this shyte." he mutters. Hawking and spitting he rises up from his bent over position. "Get movin!" he barks at his soldier and follows the man who will no doubt have tales to tell of Klemitz back at Barracks.
Klarrrrchur and Firdle on ponies are right behind the soldiers now and only fifty feet away from the door Will just smashed in.
OOC Will charge in, teeth bared, swords flashing or wait for the others? 24AP (20+20%) for the door L2SR you passed. Will is on 297AP, Klarrrrchur 82AP, Firdle 186AP

Will Darness
Will pauses long enough to catch his breath and feel the strength returning to his legs.
OOC And if possible at this point, to increase CON to 12, spending 210 AP to do so
And then moves on, now tempering recklessness with caution.

Will steps into the doorway and hears a "Hold on lad!" from the wheezing Sergeant Klemitz.
"When you went inta th' jungle... I swear a strong breeze... woulda... blown ya over." said the soldier, coughing and hawking up something to spit to the side. "Whatever it is that toughened you up... worked." he adds then pulls a face. "You need a bath though. You all do."
Looking into the house the Sergeant shook his head. "There's no doubt a rats nest of em up there all climbin' out th' window. Me an' Karney 'ere will go round th' back, you three flush em out. We need at least one alive or th' Cap'n'll string me up. Need ta know who's behind all this an' what they are after. Something... big I reckon."
OOC Firdle, Klarrrrchur climb off their ponies. Or rather slide off. All of you are together again after Wills turn of speed. Will has updated Con (12) now on 87AP
