Ancient Ruins (Kanshin)

The entrance to the ruins isn't particularly heavily guarded. Only three guards. Easy work, provided the team doesn't bungle anything.

The two Ookami sent with Adrik silently scans the scene. "These guys are pretty lax. What's the plan, bud?"

Adrik scans the scene in his scope. "We take out the three o' them. Wait carefully till they're outta sight o' the others, then take 'em out, one by one, so they don't raise any alarm. If ya want to, ye two can go ahead to do silent attacks while I take out the last from range. Don'tcha worry if we do that plan, I don't miss... often."

The two ookami nod as they pull their knives and creep up on the sentries. Moments later, they pounce on the bandit guards, burying their knives deep into their necks before dragging their dying bodies behind cover. The last target hasn't seen them yet...but he will as soon as he turns around.

Adrik takes careful aim with his long range crossbow before firing a bolt into the back of the guy's skull to kill him instantly.

The man goes down like a bad of rocks as the ookami move to the entryway, radioing in to the others to move up. They gesture to Adrik to move up with them.

Adrik moves up to them. "Well done, lads. Now what?"

"We continue scouting ahead," one of the ookami speaks. "We're the vanguard. We call in the cavalry if the situation gets too hot. C'mon, best not wait for their buddies to come looking."

The two ookami move up, gesturing for Adrik to follow them down the maw of the ruins.

The air is dry but cool, befitting for the underground section they're in. But as the three reach a level, even area, the path splits into two. Voices echo from within. Not much can be made out, but this area must be a maze-like complex from the mere sound of it.

One of the ookami gently elbows Adrik to catch his attention, while whispering in hushed tones. "Boss put you in charge of us two. What's the plan?"
