"[color=yellow]Several dozen, huh?[/color]" Jarde read the scratched reply. "[color=yellow]Looks like they're having their own party down there.[/color]"

[u]Fanilly[/u] led the Iron Roses into the crypt and ended up in the first room of this mausoleum. It was dusty old place with a single table of offerings. There were signs of activity and it was no mystery as to why.

The knights had entered stealthily, not a single light or sound from them, in an attempt to catch the enemy by surprise. Unfortunately, they immediately ran into a mercenary with an illuminating torch ascending the twin staircases that led to the lower chambers. [u]The Captain[/u] was quick to dispose of him but the body and his torch rolled downstairs. The jig was up, there were already a lot of steps ascending the stairs.

"[color=yellow]It's gonna be a bit cramped fighting on the stairs.[/color]" Jarde remarked with only his fists at the ready. [u]Fanilly[/u] had ordered for two of the enemies to be spared and captured and he intended to do just that.

As soon as the first mercenary reached the top, Jarde would tackle the intruder into the ground. He learned some hand techniques during his training that allowed for non-fatal takedowns. Striking certain points on the neck and head should knock the mercenary out cold but without much harm.
