You clear the ten foot gap between the roofs by a hair's breadth. Casey easily makes the jump and continues to follow.

Searching the bodies will take two rounds. Do you want to take that time?

Keiji stops running, and turns to face Casey. Tumble to avoid him if he doesn't stop (1d20+12)[21], and go total defensive (+6 AC).

The last time Jaster rushed off he lost a camp and a chance to gather clues. He won't make that same mistake again, even if they are flunkies. Yes, take two rounds. They may have healing potions too.

Kieji may need our help. We need to catch up as soon as I finish looting. Red Raven has it out for us.

I let Jaster have the spoils from his battle.
"Jaster I've an interesting piece of info that I overheard from Luther's meeting with a man that looks similar to Luther. This is what I overheard, “...'like it. Your thugs are making mistakes. the trail can't lead back to me. That was the deal from the beginning. I warn you Lexus, I'm out of this whole thing if that guy isn't put down hard. If he has friends, this is all over.'

'Luthor, don't worry, this is what Scruff is good at. By morning he'll be just another DFD (drunk found dead). Now, have a drink and calm yourself, there's no need to do anything rash.'”

Like it or not we have a job to do. Now that I have finished looting (unless I am incapacitated) lets help Kieji out of his jam, finish our job for Red and disappear. We may have a way to bring RR down without doing anything more.

Self Defense. Now excuse me. Climb up (1d20+5)[9] and see if I can spot (1d20+7)[8] Kieji, or track Casey. He should be trailing blood.

I'll head back two roofs checking to see if I can see Jaster on the street. If not, I'll return to the inn for now.

[madtinker]

You both meet keiji on the roof. All together again!

[INWranger]

Offer Kieji his half of the loot. Carefully examine the dagger. It may be a fine dagger, or it could be special made.
I still have something to check out. We have stirred up something big. We should probably leave as soon as we can. Whatever that list is, its big.

[madtinker]

The dagger is masterwork, and the coins total 45 gold.

All take 400 xp

[INWranger]

Give Kieji his share and ask him if he is interested in the dagger. He can have the ring. I still have some something to check out. I may know just the person to turn that list over to.

[Manwhoisthisman]

I'll take the ring, and the money, and put them in my pack. "It might be a good idea to establish a new place to meet. I was found by an urchin who knew we were connected and that you were in trouble. If news travels that quickly here, we'll need to be more careful."

[madtinker]

From the street below, you all hear shouting "They went up there!"

[INWranger]

Run away. It might be the fuzz, but I don't have time for them. If it is more thugs, I don't know if I can kill them all. Quietly, but so Curf and Kieji can hear.If we get split up, meet at #5 Swan Creek. Unless either of you have a better idea.

[curf06]

I peek over the edge to see who is after us.

"That sounds like a good idea." Keiji heads for a roof not in the direction of the voices.

[madtinker]

Curf sees that there is a squad of city watchmen armed with swords and truncheons. One man is pointing up at the roof you just climbed up. Keiji bounds away without apparent effort, leaving Jaster and Curf to make their own escapes.

[INWranger]

Also run away in a direction away from the guards. Running and jumping to the next roof.
