Bason will go up to Putty, still covered in his own blood (maybe some from others, as well). He raises his axe.... and swings it down to free him from the wall. He leaves the ropes on his hands for now, if he can. ((I'm assuming rope here. If not, he'll free him some other way))
"You're coming with us. If you do anything that could cause harm to my compatriots here, I'll be forced to beat you senseless and carry you out. You understand me? Good." Without waiting for Putty to respond, Bason will pull Putty to his feet and stand right behind him. "Okay, who's leading the way out. No sense in staying here any longer."
"Kestrell, Bason... you are both hurt! What happened?
Yes yes let's get out of here before this gets even further out of hand. The receptionist has disappeared and I would warrant between her and those thugs, someone is getting reinforcements.
The front will be the quickest and easiest as long as we hurry."

"Well, we found the plumber, but then ran into a few bakers on our way out. Things got a little dicey after that, I got stabbed, which still hurts by the way, and then Elon must have fended off the rest of the mad bakers and Vassa revived me."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Phaedra reaches out towards Kestrell as he approaches.
"Hold one moment friend," she says as she places her hand on the ranger. Taking her symbol of Mystra out from around her neck with the other, she holds it high over Kestrell as she closes her eyes.
"Our Lady Mystra, Mother of All Magic. Cast your healing gaze over Kestrell's wounded form and grant him vigor and health. Seal these injury's that he unjustly bears and make him whole again." As the priestess speaks a warm glow radiates from her hand and spreads over Kestrell, some of his wounds seeming to burn themselves shut as it does so.
"Now..." Phaedra opens her eyes and looks at the others, "Lets go...come on! The fronts this way" she adds, point out the direction she came from.
"Oh! Oh! Wowzers! That was fantastic, Phaedra! I haven't felt this good in years. Oh, I've got one itchy spot right between my shoulder blades just under this new armor, I can't quite get it. Can you give it a good scratch?"
Vassa grins at the back and forth between Kes and Phae before the bard walks out front of the group, already concocting possible alibis should their party be intercepted leaving the Bakers Guild building. As the group exits onto the street, the bard glances at the tavern across the street before looking off in the direction of Trollskull Manor, saying, "Well, my fellows. Do we risk taking a breather nearby or should we head home to take stock of the situation? Or maybe we take this Putty in our hands and high tail it to the Cellarers' & Plumbers' Guild to find Flaps? The last option would be my preference, but regardless let's make a quick decision, because we shouldn't be standing around in the street after this kerfuffle."

The party carefully heads back to the front of the building. As they pass through the foyer Bimp is standing off to the side glaring at them but she doesn't say anything. Once on the street everyone breathes a sigh of relief and heads south. About two blocks down you spot a group of thugs heading north and for a heartbeat everyone tenses up, until you hear Putty exclaim, "Uncle" and go running forward. As you all look closer you see that Flaps is indeed leading the group.
By the time you reach the other group Flaps is just finishing giving his nephew a hug. He looks back up at you all. "Word reached us that the bakers had called for thugs and I feared the worse. Thank you for getting Putty out alive. I wish you could have done so more quietly but the end result is all that truly matters. I am a man of my word. We'll have plumbers at your place first thing tomorrow. For now, you may want to lie low somewhere. The bakers will no doubt be looking for who did this and if they can find out who you are they will retaliate. Their current guild master, T. Darius Baker the Second, is not a nice man."
Elon addresses the group "I suggest we head back to Trollskull and make preparations then get some rest. Tomorrow I will be heading out to investigate the elf killer." He takes a long deep breath " I know we have our differences but I hope I have gained your respect. Anyone else who wants to come is more then welcome" With his little speech out of the way, Elon begins the trek back to the manor.

"I am happy that we could assist, though I hope we have not caused more trouble for everyone. We will retire for now and lay low, and hope to see your men tomorrow morning."
As the groups starts to head back to Trollskull Manor, Phaedra adds "Lets make sure we take a inconspicuous way back seeing that this T.Darious Baker has sent men looking for us. We are going to have to be very careful as many of them know our faces."
"Elon, I would like to thank you for helping Kestrell. I know that we have seen our differences and despite the path you have chosen with the Black Network, you have my thanks in this moment.

The group takes a winding path back to Trollskull Manor making a longer journey of the trip. By the time they make it back the sun is starting to set. It appears that the workmen have left for the day as all is quiet as you enter in. On the table the group had previously cleaned off sits a basket full of muffins, scones, bearclaws, and other pastries. Next to the basket is a card which reads:
I'm sorry I missed you. I waited some time for you today hoping to speak with you in person but it appears you're busy this day. Your recent actions, while noble, are gaining you far more enemies than allies. I would like to be one of the later, if I can. I find you effective even if you do lack subtlety. I feel that, with guidance, you could make a huge difference in Waterdeep. Please take the time to come speak with me at the Halls of Justice, in the temple of Tyr.
- Savra Belabrant Order of the Gauntlet
To see what your character remembers/knows about the Order of the Gauntlet, do a History or Int check, DC 10
Any non-evil character can join the Order of the Gauntlet in Waterdeep. Clerics, monks, and paladins are especially welcome, particularly if they worship Helm, Torm, or Tyr.
The order’s mission is to seek out and destroy evil before it gains a foothold. The surge of violence in Waterdeep spurs members of the order to find adventurers who can help return peace to the city.
An individual can be a member of the faction and also a member of the clergy or a knight pledged to a specific god or temple. Members of the order act alone or in small groups. Some are Waterdavian natives; others hail from distant settlements and have come to the city on temple business.
For those who have lived in Waterdeep for some time, you can do an additional History or Int check on Savra Belabrant
DC 10
The Belabrantas are a Waterdavian noble family that raises griffons for the Griffon Cavalry. Savra became the head of the Waterdeep branch of the Order of the Gauntlet just a couple years ago.
DC 15
Savra is trying to regain her honor by serving Tyr, thus atoning for the evil acts she committed as a member of an evil elemental cult called the Howling Hatred. Because of this, she is often willing to over look past discretions and give others a 2nd chance.
"Kestrell...is that you. Don't worry, I am hear to get you all out. The ruffians ran when I confronted them... but we need to hurry... Kestrell...."
Phaedra continues does the stairs and heads in the direction she thinks Kestrells call came from.
