Those dreamy sounds slowly becomes more muffled in their mind as their attention shifts to escaping the temple grounds. While the crew are unable to openly carry their swords in temples, they still have a few weapons concealed.
Without their sideswords, Sira and his crows draw their tantō, a single edged knife with a moderately thick spine. Their blades are particularly long compared to most, being 10 - 11 inches in length (~30 cm). Good enough to contend with short swords.
Sira also draws his wheellock pistol from underneath his shirt. After removing the firearm from his side, he cocks back the “dog”, a metal arm that holds the pyrite. The wheel is already wound up, and Sira will be able to fire at a moment’s notice.
Warin sticks to using her staff, the reach offered by it will be allow her to contend with longer weapons that the monks might employ.
Having armed themselves, the crew leaves the exposed hallways and enters a previously visited room in order to escape through the window. Sira sweeps the room with his pistol while Warin and the crows watch his back. Room is clear.
While the crows are checking the windows and the area past it, Warin devise a plan ー she will summon a windblast towards the entrance of the building, making the monks think they will try to leave through there. After planning out where to fade to, the crew synchronize their teleportation with her windblast.
Warin taps her wooden staff on the ground and commands the spirits to conjure a wind that does not exist in this world.

The brightly colored cloth wrapped around her staff billows in the supernaturally cold wind.
A raging rush of wind passes through the monk’s living quarters, slamming doors shut and scattering furniture across the floor.
The crew fades, leaving behind a few crow feathers as they teleport to the rooftops of the study hall.
Standing on the hot rooftops, they can see several monks surrounding the building they just left. Had they gone through the entrance, it would’ve been a hard fight — multiple polearms and a narrow hallway makes it difficult to close the distance for their knives.
The crew takes a moment to catch their breath before fading to the trees nearby the dining hall. The shade will prevent them from being exhausted and shroud their presence.
