Annah nods to Telrim and waits as the guard approaches, silently urging herself to be patient. The guard was wary and therefore slow. He might be canny enough to look above the crates and find her. She decides for an old, overused but tried and true trick: she fishes out a coin and tosses it across the room into a corner, striking the grated metal floor. He predictably turns toward the source of the noise, and then she leaps down and slams him in the back of the head with the hard metal knob at the side of one of her punch daggers, it having been drawn swiftly and silently as she had jumped.
He gasps, gurgles, and drops to the ground with a soft thud.
Knowing even that noise might cause the other guard to be more cautious, she slides up behind Telrim, nodding to her that she has the woman's back. Doubtless, the woman was already taking action even as she moved.
On another note, a few days from now, a loading dock worker would find a bent Sigil Copper Common in the corner, wondering where such an odd coin had come from.
