On hearing the guard’s arrival downstairs, Zera gambles that maybe no one hidden in this building will cause too much trouble to her, so she moves to open the door and explore through it before the guards confiscate any “evidence”.

The door opens into an office that seemed to not have been used in a long time the room has desks, chairs, and bare shelves covered with dust and draped in cobwebs. Harmless rats skitter about.
Sir Darak Darkhall: Raising his hand in salute, Darak says, "Captain, I am Sir Darak Darkhall of the Grey Hand. I am investigating a string of kidnappings in the area and it has brought me here."
Gesturing to the party, he continues, "This fine band of adventurers are also looking into this matter, and so we have joined forces. They are more suited to these endeavors than I."
Oblivious to the treasure being stowed away as he speaks, he points toward the crates and says, "We're taking anything we believe is important to our investigation. You're free to take these prisoners."
((so your saying that your gonna take the valuables not knowing they are valuables?))

Zera will search the office for anything of interest or value.

Wheeze: "Best collect the evidence."
He moves over by the silver bars and motions for Veil to join him. Then he will try to share out the silver between them and Xavier ((assuming they will take it))

Zera walks gracefully down the stairs and calls out: “Sir Darkhall, I have searched the upstairs, no Zhents or Xanathar ruffians up there, just a bunch of stolen goods I suppose.. oh hello! (On seeing the guards) I am Zera, pleased to meet you all! I apologize, we probably should keep moving quickly, if we want a chance to rescue our kidnapped captive before they kill him or worse. We hope to catch up with you all later. “

Zera smiles politely and attempts to dazzle with diplomatic skill. (I am assuming Sir Darkhall helps with this check, for the sake of time and fewer posts). “I understand, of course Captain...You have your duty to do as we do. Well, as much as we have been able to find out- this was a Zhentarim hideout for stolen goods- there are a bunch of crates around full of things your officers should inventory. The Xanathar guild had something they wanted from the Zhents, maybe something the Zhents stole from them- I mean... who can keep these criminal fights straight anyway? Anyhow.. the Xanathar attacked here, killed all these Zhents, and took our kidnapping victim and presumably have escaped into the sewers with him. That’s why we need to go quickly if we have a chance of getting him before they kill him or something. In any case, the Xanathar and we did you all a favor- cleaning out this place of Zhents and capturing some Xanathar murderers while we were at it. I hope that it helps you in your quest against crime in the dock ward. Now, may we go?” she gives a winning smile...

“Best not to meddle in criminal matters. Leave this dirty business to the City Watch, but if you must keep the blood off the streets, okay? Not all the Watch are as kind as I am” Says Captain Staget "Oh and take this as well" he hands you all a sheet of paper and motions for you to leave
Looking quickly at rhe paper, she says “Thank you for the paper on the laws, Captain, that should come in handy, should we meet any criminals in the sewers. Good luck to you!” She takes the paper with a flourish and tucks it in a pocket. She then steps outside.

Sir Darak Darkhall: Looking completely bewildered by Zera's concise recounting of events, the Knight says simply, "Yes, what she said."
Taking the Captain aside, he says quietly, "To be completely honestly with you, Sir. I am a bit out of my element. I normally serve as a High Guard to The Blackstaff. Battle is my specialty, not investigation. As you can see, my new friends are much more capable in this particular area of expertise."
He leaves out the part that he's completely outside is duties, following cryptic visions from Tyr himself. He continues, "We are investigating the disappearance of one Floon Blagmaar. Our investigation led us here, where we instead discovered these bodies and birdmen. We also discovered another kidnapping victim, one Renaer Neverember. I suggest you acquire a statement from him immediately. Is there anything else you require, or may we continue our investigation?"
A bit flustered at first, Friar Xavier, quickly composes himself, while leisurely putting the piece of art given to him down, so as not to attract attention to it. ((He keeps the 5 silver bars, slipped into the many folds and pockets of his robes)).
Bowing to the Captain, he says, "Thank you for your guidance and your service. May Ilmater's blessing be upon you who strive to assist the innocent and keep the peace."
Wheeze: follows Friar Xavier out, walking carefully so the silver bars do not clank together loudly, his red waistcoat building a little more than normal.

She takes the paper bird and stashes it in one of her many hidden pockets. Then heads back down the stairs to greet the guards.

Veil moves out with the rest of the group. She would make sure any of the art left by the others comes with her.
