Dabura wraps an arm around the sailor's neck and one grasped around the pistol. He whispers in the man's ear.
"Don't move, don't speak, don't do anything, or I'll snap your neck."

Solace: The maskling leaps off the gear onto the pathway and starts to sprint towards the exit. The exit at the end of this causeway appears to be a huge metal door of considerable weight.
Dabura: The sailor thrashes a bit but does nothing aggressive. "Who the hell are...you?" he chokes softly.

He sprints while holding a body? Stronger than the other one, then. Ummm... a closed door, or an open one?
Solace makes it to the walkway, and runs after the maskling. (The top speed of a fox is ~ 40mph.)

Dabura loosens his grip on the man's neck so he is not choking him but still has him in a firm grip.
"I am a Lieutenant of the Guards, sent on a special mission. Tell me sir, what is the cargo of this ship? And the name of this ship?"
Meanwhile, the aven had dragged himself and the sailor into the shadows, to hide the both of them.

Well, it's your call wether I make it or not. I don't know how long the walkway is. I'd guess that Solace catches him, but...
If Solace catches him, he tries to trip him up by tying his legs in vines.
EDIT: Come to think of it, he can do that at range.
Solace has vines grow across the maskling's legs.
Dabura: The man whispers so as not to invoke the Avens wrath. "This the Sanna Annia. We carryin' them goldstone things, they rake in quite a profit in the port. What the 'ell do the guards want with us anyways?"
The door opens and Dabura hears two voices.
"Hey Gart, where'd you go off to matey? Leavin the stuff on the floor...stupid bloke. See if you can find him," an authoritative man says, and Dabura hears the sounds of two men walking towards his position.
Solace: The maskling trips and falls, the girl falls to the ground as well. He stands up and faces you, the same mask on his face. He rips the vines apart with his legs which are apparently very strong. He then sprints at Solace, blade drawn.
Behind him, Solace sees the Ratling scamper up onto the ledge towards the girl, as another two Masklings appear from the doorway at the Ratling, stalking towards him stealthily, blades drawn.
The aven whispers into the sailor's ear.
"Listen, I'm going to leave you now. I could kill you to silence a possible witness, but you won't talk, right? Because, I guarantee if you speak a word of this to your friends, I will return to kill you."
Dabura released the sailor, pushing him forward and leapt into the sky, his wings sending a gust of dust forward as he rushed into the air.

I'm guessing that the ratling is nowhere near large enough to pick up the girl and leap down the side with her? I guess, even if he is, the masklings would just follow... =p "Get out of the way!" Solace calls to the ratling. "They're behind you!" Solace feints to the right, and then dodges left, hoping onto the rail and shooting as strong a psi blast as he can at the maskling, hoping to knock it off the walkway.

Dabura: The ship moves slowly to the docking area as ramps and planks appear from the broadside loading bay to connect to the shore. There is no commotion on deck, so apparently the sailor took your words to heart. As the ship docks and ropes are thrown to the awaiting robed men, a familar face turns the corner far below. Murdock the merchant, accompanied by a tall, slim man and two robed, hunched figures approaches the boat.
Solace: The masklings eyes flare up a bright yellow, and its body twitches violently. Suddenly, instead of the Maskling, the ratling is tumbling down towards the air, and the three Masklings are facing you, wicked looking daggers drawn, their masks grinning and frowning evilly at you. One of them grabs the girl and the other two bar the way.
The Ratling screams as he plummets towards a mess of grinding gears and blasting steam.
Dabura: Murdock and the thin man walk over to the boat as the cargo begins to unload courtesy of many cranes. The cranes are unloading the boxes onto something below the line of the docks, Dabura can't quite see it. Presumably its another boat judging by a light steam cloud rising from below. Murdock reaches his hand inside a crate and pulls out a few bright stones. He inspects them with a monocle and, seemingly satisfied, walks towards Dabura, chatting with the thin man. The thin man is unarmed but quite thin. He is wearing all black and carries a small round globe which he and Murdock are talking into. All Dabura can see in it is swirling mists.

Dabura swoops high above them, hovering above them now, and bellows down in a loud voice.
"Why hello, Murdock, what a joy to see you again! Care to introduce me to your friends?"

Solace decides that he can't defeat three of those masklings before they can move ten feet, so Solace jumps off the edge after the ratling. He anchors vines from anything less dangerous than the stuff below them, and wraps them around the ratling, halting his fall. Solace lands on the ratling, and then hops to a stable platform. "You ok?"
EDIT: Just how big is this ratling, anyway?

Dabura: Murdock looks stunned and the thin man practically drops the ball. He waves his hand over it, dispelling the mists.
"Murdock, who the hell is this?" He hisses angirly.
"No-no one. Why sir, whatever are you doing...here?" Murdock asks shakily.
"Shut up fool. Guards, kill this idiot!" The thin man gestures at the guards. The men throw off their cloaks revealing a retinue of mercenaries. Two dual wield an axe and a short sword, three are armed with only blades. One has a shield and sword and one more is unarmed but looks quite strong. The two with axes race at Dabura with howls, and the man with his fists hurls a cluster shurkien at Dabura. The others just close in
Solace: >>The ratling is 4 feet tall give or take an inch<<
"You have saved me kind Foxling!!" The ratling grabs Solaces paw and shakes it rapidly. "I is forever in your debts...but Masklings is escaping! We must stops them!" The Ratling pulls out a small crossbow looking item which has a musket barrel from his robes trailing behind him.
"Waterproof too!" He grins and fires at the Masklings. A blazing crossbow bolt soars towards the masklings, causing a minor explosion.
"Let us be going Foxling!"
"You stay well away from them," Solace says, "they can switch places with people... the less I have to worry about hitting an ally, the better. With any luck, it won't work at a range, or they would have just switched places with the ones they wanted to kidnap from the saifty of their base. Also, try not to hit the one they're carrying..." Solace makes a series of jumps back up to the pathway, thinking, Although, with what happened to the other one they kidnapped, it probably doesn't matter much... Solace causes some vines to grow behind the masklings, and begen to tie them up, and fires a few weak psi blasts at them. [It's not a serious attack, he's mostly just stoppping them from setting up too prepared a defence.]
Also, what else would Solace notice about the ratling? Approximate age, clothing, ect. I just rather like to know stuff like that. ^^

Dabura simply hovers high above them, firing a large volley of crystal blasts at the group of men.
"Hah, Murdock, to think you were corrupted as well. No matter, none of you can defeat the ascendant race, landwalkers!"

Solace: >>The Ratling is a dank little creature. He is swathed in various robes of various shades of brown and black. He has many talismans of teeth and little baubles around his neck. His baggy, cloth pants are held up with a thick rope braided with beads. His feet are large and end in claws, and there is a tatoo on his right foot of a paw. He has a cape concealing his Rifle Bow and a bundle of rope which dangles out. He has a borad, medium sized dagger in his belt. His face is long nosed with perky whiskers. He has an earring in one ear, and his other ear is slightly ripped. His eyes are a dim yellow, and his teeth are long and yellow tinged. His voice is somewhat high but not squeeky, and it has a slight accent of lower class British<<
By the time Solace reaches them, only two are there, the girl and another has vanished. The doorway is also closed shut. The two Masklings fend off the vines with their blades, but are knocked aside by the blasts. One tumbles into the gears below, and a tremendous explosion roars from below. The other lands preacriously on a gear, and begins to leap up to Solace.
Dabura: The crystal blasts decimate the group, except for the martial artist who seems to be immune to them, and the strong warrior with the shield and sword who stumbles around, exerting a magical influence on the shards.
The thin man ushers Murdock to the dock, and they jump into a barge full of boxes below. The barge then begins to sail underneath the docks.

Dang, for such strong things, they're sure easy to knock over... Solace thinks. I think I'll stick to that. Solace dives toward the remaining maskling, and fires a psi blast derectly at it, trying to get it to fall on whatever looks the most painfull. I sure hope no more of these things show up, I can't keep on like this much longer...

Solace: The Maskling takes the blast to the chest and stumbles over, almost falling into the gears. He then fumbles around inside his coat and pulls out a long rod with a hole at the top. He sticks it into his mouth and apparently blows. A small pellet flys towards Solace.

Solace has moss grow over the pellet, slowing it, as well as absorbing much of the impacts it would sustain. (Solace hasn't forgotten that little vial.) Solace has a vine grow all over the maskling, and has it try to pull the maskling's mask off. Solace moves well away from the pellet, and keeps a decent distance from the maskling.

Solace: The Maskling struggles considerably but to no avail. As the mask is pulled off, the vial in its chest detonates, raining the area with molten metal and fire. The blast seems to have done some serious damage, as the gears groan and began to dislodge from their positions. The room seems to be collapsing!

Even with a quick shield thrown up, Solace is knocked back by the blast. He looks around for the ratling. "What's the quickest way out of here?" Solace shouts. Solace runs toward the ratling.

Dabura smirks, swooping towards the martial artist.
"I'll deal with those fools later, landwalkers can't get very far..."
Aiming his blade down at the marital artist he was descending upon, he fired a thick bolt of lightning towards the man's head.

Solace: "Eek! Gear be falling onto good exit! We going out old tunnels I thinkin'!" The Ratling slides his Rifle Bow under his cape and scurries down the gears towards a very old looking pipe.
"This way! Get ready for rough trip though Foxling!" The Ratling leaps into the pipe as the entire room begins to tumble around. Steam belches about and various fires are starting thorughout the chaos.
Dabura: The man flicks up an oriental fan covered in cranes. He spreads it and intercepts the lightning bolt. The fan absorbs the bolt. He sticks the fan to his throat and inhales. He then exhales a furious deluge of lightning at Dabura as the other man grabs a musket from one of the sailors, who are now streaming from the boat armed with guns and crossbows.
