Marie looks at where Jessica's pointing but she can't actually decipher the intent of the message. Does she want to kill these two as well? She should've cast message before turning invisible and silent...

Detaching from Jessica she floats down the point first marked and returns to normal size, waiting then to see if Jessica's going to attack the man. If she does then Marie will cut up the dwarf!

[Anastasia]

When are you flying down? Before they pass or after they pass?

[Ebiris]

Probably before since she'll do it right after Jessica does her pantomine.

[Anastasia]

Still invisible?

[Ebiris]

Very much so. Superior invis doesn't drop when she attacks.

[Anastasia]

Jessica nimbly drops and...

Go for it, Marie.

Marie's own sword swings out, invisible but deadly as it carves up the man who wisely understood their chances against Antenora.

Swords strike out - and the two fall. Yours is cut apart, the woman crying out as her clothing is stained red, a soft and gurgling noise. Jessica thrusts once, thorugh her foe's chest and heart, causing him to reach up and swing - but it is in vain, failing and falling to the ground. Got them.

Jessica shakes her head and strides forward, "Let them fear the shadows for once," Jessica says.

[Ebiris]

She'd rather just go wild with magic missiles and amazing barrages, but Jessica's the newly risen power with something to prove! Shrinking down, Marie latches onto her shoulder again to resume their stealthy transit.

[Anastasia]

Around the corner and deeper in. Down a winding passage and then crawling thew all following an underground river. Jessica barely slows down for any of it, keeping going as...

"HELP!" A faraway cry, echoing wildly, but a man's scream is heard.

[Anastasia]

It sounds legitimate to Marie's ear.

[Ebiris]

Can she tell its direction past all the echoing?

[Anastasia]

Ahead - down some passages you'd guess based on it the echo.

Bonus post since it's just a quick DM answer.

[Ebiris]

Jessica's already heading in the right direction so Marie doesn't need to prompt her to detour for now at least, they'll hopefully get to the source of it soon.
