Mist looks around the courtyard.

<Which way now?>

Yuki hands the rack over to the volunteer, then follows outside. Going by where they had been, an exhaustive search would have to resume... here.

The courtyard is still peaceful and quiet. No sound is heard from area 20, and neither does its entry appear to be trapped.

There aren't any traps either.

However, Yuki hears periodic thuds hitting the door between room 20 and 21. Some voices can be heard from 21 inbetween the thuds.

Hank positions himself behind Niko and knocks a second arrow.

"People are throwing darts, they are skilled. I expect them to be more dangerous than the card players. Same plan?"

Let's do it. Ready when you are. Hank slows his breathing and sharpens his focus.

Hank draws his shoulder blade toward his spine.  He inhales the comforting odor of sinew and kisses the bowstring as it grazes his cheek.  He exhales. It's good to be home.

As Niko tries the door, a dart comes flying. Fortunately it missed the mark and gets stuck in the door behind him. Standing in front of you is a bunch of thieves who have until right now been involved in a darts game, and whose attention was fully focussed on the door you are coming through. This won't be as easy as the card game room.

Responding instantly, Niko steps into the room and starts beating on the nearest dart thrower with both his hammer and spiked shield.

The closest thief goes down under the onslaught, leaving just three more.

Hank's bow twangs loosing a storm of flaming arrows at their smug opponents.

The three thieves go down under the flurry of arrows, leaving you alone once again... for now.

Hank rapidly snatches two more arrows and stretches his bowstring taught ready to fire again as the thieves' bodies hit the floor.  He eyes their punctured bodies while praying, "Lord, have mercy on these poor bleeders..."

Hank continues to watch the fallen rogues as he moves into the room.
