OOC: Jophyra is hidden and gets a surprise round before the first official round starts!
Order of initiative:
Yuri
SSG
SG
Griff
Jophyra
Griff is easily spotted too in the light of the tavern door and does not make it into the shadows of the nearby building which he then realizes can not hide his large armored frame or Yuri who tried to hide but failed as well!
"You can't hide half-man," a guard shouts to Griff as people who were out on the rainy street dart into buildings. "Nor you mage," he adds to Yuri spitting on the street as the rain pelts down on them, hoods still up.
The street is now clear of innocents... From the shadows, Jophyra can gauge the scimitar wielding guard is about ten feet away from her the other wedding short swords is beside him but another five feet (fifteen feet from her) and standing their ground. The street is large enough for two carts to pass without issue so twenty feet wide with buildings on both sides. The tavern is about twenty-five feet back from your position as is Yuri and Griff about five feet apart from one another attempting to stealth.
Hit it Jophyra!
Yuri on deck!

Yuri watches in admiration as Jophyra unfolds from the shadows striking like a serpent and withdrawing prior to the guard even being aware of his danger.
Yuri opens his mouth revealing serpentine teeth. He spews forth a glob of acid between the two guards splashing both of them as it impacts between them.
<Yuri casts Acid Splash. Damage 9, Dex Save 16 to avoid the acid splash>
Griff sighs, drawing his halberd. "This was not my intention, but I will respond to violence in kind." He charges at the guard attacking Yuri, making great sweeping strikes with the polearm.
Yuri dodges back from the attacks of the guard armed with the short sword, as Griff charges in the fray battering the man with his polearm as a lethal whirlwind of blade and staff. Yuri almost feels sorry for the ruffian.
His observation is interrupted as he hears Jophyra cry out as the other guard presses her, slashing two blossoming stripes of red across her armor.
Yuri is amazed again at Jophyra's skill as she spins with the motion of the guard's strikes to position herself at the back of the other guard facing off against Griff to strike with such lethality. Yuri reminds himself again to stay on both of his companions good sides as they press their advantage on the beleaguered guard.
Seeing the scimitar wielding guard unengaged, Yuri singles him out as the next target for his ire. Yuri raises his arms, so they resemble serpents poised to strike and lashes them forward as two twin orbs of arcing lightning rush towards the guard.
Yuri casts Chromatic Orb at the scimitar wielding guard.
<OOC: Yuri expends 1 Sorcery to Twin Cast Chromatic Orb at the scimitar wielding guard a 2nd time.>
Yuri's first attack finishes off the scimitar but his second hits nothing the magic missing it's target between the two guards. The short sword yielder seeing his companion fall grasps a talisman around his neck leans down to his fallen companion and they both blink out of sight!
The party is left in the rainy street to deal with their wounds and the task at hand. They also slowly come to realize they've now surely made themselves enemies of the Mardoons.
OOC: Combat over; post at will.

Yuri says, "If I recall correctly, Beag mentioned a Mardoon warehouse close by as a likely location. If your wounds permit it, I would suggest there. I would go with just Griff and give you the opportunity to rest; but subterfuge is not our large friends forte and I dare not go alone." Yuri offers to tend to her wounds, and awaits her and Griff's decision as to exploring the warehouse.
"Seems as good a place as any. I certainly don't have a better idea."
Griff walks over to to his companions, sheathing his halberd across his back. He rests gentle hands on each in turn."Forget not your wounds, but let them be mended"
(Griff will give 8HP to both Jophyra and Yuri with Lay on Hands.)
"Did you see which directions the Tieflings went? Perhaps they were headed for this warehouse."
Anyone without dark vision roll with disadvantage as the city streets are not well lit and the sun has since set to look around. The carriage disappeared around a bend in the street you would have to move thirty feet ahead to see where it went.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
<OOC: I believe we all posses dark-vision. Yuri is unwounded I believe. Please apply the healing to Jophyra, fortune wasn't so kind to her.>
Witnessing Griff tend to Jophyra's wounds, Yuri is again struck at the paradox of his large companion. For such a large, fearsome appearing, and capable warrior to display such gentleness and concern is truly a marvel. Not for the first time is he appreciative of his large companions minor healing capabilities, always useful in a dire situation.
After Griff sees to Jophyra's wounds, Yuri says, "To the warehouse then and hopefully to signs of Carro."
OOC: And initiative m'lady Joph...

Yuri hisses a curse to the fates as the guards observe him. He curses further as the carriage travels out of sight.
