"Ah great. Why didn't i think of this before. Oh well, no going back now." Akyan thinks as the orc starts talking gibberish, Akyan tries his best to look distracted when the orc speaks. "Yeah, it has been a while. Sorry--" He's cut off as Tamryn interjects. Turning to look at the not-elf, he says, "You think i don't know that Matt?" He shakes his head. "Sorry like i said this is urgent. Also Matt here doesn't like it when we don't speak his language. I'll have to catch up with you later. It's fine that we go in right?" He walks up to the door but doesn't go all the way in.

Tamryn brushes by the half-orc guard, who looks startled but moves out of his way. As Akyan speaks, the guard detects something a little off about whatever is going on, but is persuaded to let it play out, and waves the drow forward into the warehouse. He then sits back down, a puzzled expression on his face, pondering what just happened.
Inside, the layout is familiar. A table in one corner is piled with dirty breakfast dishes. A male dwarf and a human woman are practice-sparring in the middle of the room with wooden clubs. They pause, looking at the newcomers, but do not appear hostile for the moment. Upstairs, leaning over the railing, is a human male with dark hair pulled back in a pony-tail, and a patch over his left eye. He looks down at the two elves and noting the thumb-rings, waves at them to ascend the stairs.
"I am Aeric," he says in a gravelly voice. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"Friend, you don't look well. Come, let's just rest here", directing the trio into a nearby secluded alley, "and we can see about getting you where you need to go after."
The duergar allows himself to be guided. "Ah! My side! I think I've been stabbed! Please help!" he says to the high elf, but not loudly enough to be noticed by others. He stares down at the blood covering his hand.
In the empty secluded alley, Jhaartael frowns in feigned concern while standing in front of the duergar. "Oh no! Show me where. You don't want to get an infection." This should allow Lyndaran to approach from behind...
((Should help Lyndaran get advantage on an attack?))
Akyan nods at Aeric, "Yes, we have an urgent message. Best we discuss it in private."
"Very well,"says Aeric, "please, step into my office," and he opens one of the doors on the landing, holding it open for you. "Liesel! No one is to disturb us!"he calls, seemingly to the female warrior below. "Remember what happened last time you disobeyed me!" and with that he follows you into the office and shuts the door.

(I'm going to say between being charmed and distracted by you, Lyndaran would certainly have advantage on a surprise attack.)
Tamryn moves to the side of Aeric that is opposite Akyan. “Someone is disrupting our deliveries. Grignar’s goods never showed this morning.” He then points to Akyan, hoping to surprise attack Aeric when he is turned to look at Grignar.
Akyan growls, "On top of that, my entire crew is missing. Bloody traitors probably decided to take the cargo to some other gang. I'm assuming your shipment never got here either? You missing any members?"
Akyan breaks his original link with Jhaartael and Kyrsa, (as Jhaartael is likely to far away now.) and creates a new one with Kyrsa and Tamryn. Which will last for 6 hrs.
He telepathically speaks to Tamryn. "I think I know what you are doing, but perhaps we should lock the door first? We don't want him to run out on us."
"Well, we got him alone, everything's going well so far. I'll keep you posted." He says to Kyrsa
The Serpent captain relaxes visibly as you describe your plight of missing cargo and crew. He crosses to his desk and sits behind it, waving the two of you to be seated in chairs as well.
"Now that you mention it, yes, we did not receive our expected shipment this morning. I was actually about to dispatch someone to HQ to ask for instructions." Turning to Akyan he says, "Your whole crew? And you had no clue they were up to something? I mean, as you know it's not unusual for low-level cartel members to try and better themselves by betraying their superiors. I actually thought you were here to assassinate me at first."He laughs. "It's a little unusual for a whole station to go bad at once, though. Any chance they were ambushed somewhere, maybe by the Sons of Jal'Atan,or the Corsairs? I've heard those gangs are trying to get into the slave trade too."
(The three of you are arranged in a triangle, all facing each other, about 10 feet apart).
Jhaartael and Lyndaran:
(waiting to see if Lyndaran attacks again)
Mina and Kyrsa:
(What are you up to? You are still outside the building, the half-orc guard continues to smoke his pipe.)
Tamryn says, "No time for idle chat, Grignar, we've got to see Aeric immediately." He walks through the door.

Catching the cartel member off-guard, Lyndaran delivers a devastating attack (-17).
As the duergar starts to scream in agony, Jhaartael attempts to distract him (WIS save at advantage: 7)...
... and successfully quiets Neero (-18 forgot the sliver) after only a brief yelp. (City guards Perception 11)
Meanwhile, back at the warehouse...

"I'm afraid we have some unfortunate, confidential news," says Tamryn, looking meaningfully at the office door.
