Jax used his Equipment Appraisal skill to examine the spear. As he expected it was substantially better than his, even out weighing the worth of his shield. He set it back down on the table and looked outside at the source of the noise. "[b]Suppose we should at that, first though I think I'll take this, how much you want for it?[/b]" He inquired. Hopefully it wasn't too much, though he expected it would cost at least half his current coinage. 

The noise grew concerningly loud and Jax opened the door and peeked outside to find a nearly literal wave of monsters attacking. After a brief moment to take in it he yelled as loud as he could. "[b]EVERYONE GET IN A BUILDING[/b]!" He held the door open for anyone who wanted to come rushing in and was prepared to close it as soon as the monsters got close enough. 

He doubted they could run and standing in the streets was pointless. Either the monsters would crash through or they would stop and try to attack them. However if they had to cram through the doorways one or two at a time the players could slaughter them as they came in. Jax looked inside and yelled at the patrons inside, "[b]Push the tables over and form a barricade around the door, if they break we're going to be in trouble. And do the same for the stairs in case they come from upstairs![/b]" 

Hopefully they could finish preparations before those monsters arrived, though he wasn't sure if even all this would help. No matter, they had to do what they could. Jax readied his spear and shield.
