After the gunshot and everyone still outside the fence moving in to the courtyard, Smiley noted the few bodies on the ground, either bloody or contorted in what looked like extreme pain before death. "Hmpf, at leasssst that'ss out of the way." he shrugged as he had to step over the bird like corpse. The Thin one, the one seemingly obsessed with poisons, meanwhile complained but it did bring up a detail they had to clean up before leaving. "Someone gather the bodies, I'm going inside to make sure there's no one else here we didn't see." Smiley said as he walked into the warehouse through the door the loaders were using. It would just be a cursory sweep, sniffing the air and checking corners to make sure no one was hiding after hearing the gunshot from earlier. It would also be a good chance to find a way to dispose of the corpses since they didn't have the luxury of eating them right now.
Urkrag was disappointed in the human dying before the real fun could begin but found no reason to sulk about it after all this was only the beginning of the carnage to come and he now had four corpses of various species to mess around with. "Oi don't youz just throw dez away Iz mean look at 'em Iz can do so much. Iz ull 'ide em somewhere an come back fer em latta." He said as he grabbed the now dead human once known as Jonny by the head and dragged the corpse as he looked for a place to stash it.
"It seems we have a witness Clint looks like your tracking skills are up to par." Kharos said as he went forward to the door opening it it for them incase it was locked the door would be forced open by Kharos strength. Kharos eyes scanned the room for the tau looking for footsteps,heat. Signatures, anysort of trail she could of left or the tau herself to try to follow and catch for the others. Kharos then began moving on the most likely path to follow after the tau after ducking under the doorway and moving through the building.
Nehk'kaar let put a hiss before he began searching the ogryn's body for trinkets of some sort and additional ammo for the sawed off shotgun. The prospect of A new weapon enticing the rak'gol. He swiped his tail and pushed the Ogryn's legs towards him to clean up the corpse easier
It seemed the skirmish was over before anything even happened. Ugh, disappointing. At least the party promises some challenge. The thought of the chaos that was to come reinvigorated the Eldar, who set about quickly hiding the bodies, at least the ones Madeye wasn't toying with. "Come on guys this place is boring, there's an entire party just waiting for us to kill their beloved leader! Let's not keep them waiting."
< @Uriel1339 @Xaphen @Vulpas ( @BuriasDempsey ?) > Clint looked over at Kharos and nodded quietly, although he didn't say anything. At the moment he was staying silent, because if he didn't hear something coming, he could easily be dead. He walked into the warehouse and kept his gun in a position where he could quickly raise it to fire, but he didn't look like he would shoot immediately. He also tried to stay close but also spread out to search with the others.
"Nothing of our interesst? Sspeak for yoursself, Artemiss." Sselesstleia mutters under her breath as she approaches the boxes loaded on the van. Artemis might not care about the Dragon Queens gifts, but the grapesnake sees excellent opportunity to acquire an update on her wardrobe. She isn't sure of the Dragon clan appearances, but assumes their taste would be similar. It's difficult to find anything that goes well along with scales, you know. She might be 6 meters long, four-armed merciless alien-snake mercenary, but she is allowed to pamper herself like anyone else. Sselesstleia inspects the crates with sharp eye. Best case scenario, Hermedes would have been compassionate enough to label them and their contents. If not, at least the crates shape, weight, texture should hint of their content.
~~ Warehouse Assault - Blood & Murder (Cleanup) (@bossaroo & @TuskatheDaemonKilla & @Keidivh ) ~~ There was nothing really on the Ogryn besides the double-barrelled sawed-off shotgun and several shells to have a couple of salvos. And the rest of the corpse was now all in one spot, allowing pretty much to pick the corpse up together and stash it somewhere. So at least the Rak'gol got something out of the kill. Urkrag in the meanwhile found a half-full oil barrel in which the human corpse could be perfectly preserved and hidden in. The other three corpses were still laying openly around. Well kind of, since Tan'ku started to chop up the Kroot with his sharp blade. Irlisa started to drag off the Monotask servitor, perhaps nobody would miss him in the salvaged electronics section of the warehouse? ~~ Warehouse Assault - Catch the Witness! (@BadDo9 & @Xaphen & @Vulpas & @BuriasDempsey ) ~~ There were a bunch of quick steps around the trio which went into the warehouse, but they didn't sound like a stairwell. But.... Boot on metal. The person must have headed over where they have the metal railings, usually used for areas that store chemicals since everything else wouldn't be able to withstand it. It was to the left of the group that came through the rear entrance and right from where the Teethspeaker came in. Everyone having heard the noise followed it since there was only one way anyway. As soon as they made it into the big storage hall they could see the Tau female running across the slightly elevated walkway going right between several 1000+ gallon tanks that steamed with chemicals. There were warning labels everywhere. The group could either follow as one right after her, or split up by one group directly following and the other running downwards and across to take a secondary path up to her position. The only exit seemed a ladder in the opposite corner of the groups position going up to the rooftop. So an alternate cut-off route could be someone heading up the staircase to the roof? ~~ Warehouse Assault - Snatch the Truck ( @GoreWrencha & @Maleth ) Atherina took the liberty to take the drivers seat, nobody else was caring about it, so better to be ready to go than waste more time, whatever the others were up to. She also ignored the Sslyth's comment, let the snake lady deal with her petty theft. In the meanwhile in the back of the truck Sselesstleia noticed the labels of the crates. Most of them were ornamentals such as statues and vases. There was one crate labelled with 'Silks' and once that was opened, Jackpot! 100% silk dresses in various colors with all sort of patterns and they were in 7 to 9 feet sizes. These were dresses for not just the queen, but also her daughter and relatives. Apparently the Hermedes Clan was not as stupid as the dock workers here?

" I suggest we split up, Clint can you take a shot from here possibly wound her or get a hit at her leg?" Kharos asked before looking at the alternative paths he sis not know how much weight the main path coulds hold but he doubt it could hold the whole group up. "I will try to take the stairwell up and try to cut her off." Kharos said as he doubled back too the stairwell and made for the rooftops.
< @Uriel1339 @Vulpas @Xaphen @BuriasDempsey > Clint glanced over at the teethspeaker as they met up and nodded. "There's a possible witness." he said, jerking his head. "Although based on what I saw, she had her own business here. I'm hoping we could perhaps work together, or at the very least 'we didn't see you, you didn't see us'." He looks around at the Eldar and the Necron. Perhaps part of him was showing leniency to her because she was a Tau. More than likely it was mainly because this was who he is. "I'll go straight, keep on her tail." he speaks, commanding slightly but obviously not totally sure that they'll listen. "Fardir, perhaps you could take that other path down there, don't get too close unless you must." then he glances at Kharon and Smiley. "I'm not sure where else she could go but the roof. If you two head up there we might have a better chance." he says before taking off. EDIT @Vulpas - "There's no clear shot from here."
