Seeing the warehouse occupants starting to panic and flee, Chen drops the webs to facilitate this. Scanning the room for any stragglers, he then joins the others surrounding Ezhia. Chen advises Jahren against teleporting into the sphere, pointing out that if Ezhia had some way to prevent them teleporting out, then they would only have succeeding in isolating themselves from their companions, giving Ezhia the advantage. Instead, the barbarian prepares his hammer, ready to thump the guy should he commence hostilities once the wall drops.

“He knows the spell hasn’t much longer before it fails. If he’s unwilling to cooperate he must mean to fight,” Fianna says.
((Are we near water? Warehouses often are but not always... if so, Fianna would propose rolling the sphere into the water. Weighing it down, too, if anyone knew how. Let him drown! But even just a dunk into the water should put him at some disadvantage. If no water nearby, just rolling and bouncing the sphere until it collapses might shake him up as well. And Fianna would plan on dropping the spell before it ends, giving companions a clue it’s coming do as to give us the best advantage when it falls.))
Jahren raises an eyebrow at Chen's logic since Fianna could just drop the wall spell if the surprise move proves folly, but doesn't bother to say anything.
The half-elf pulls out a strange, white holy symbol in the shape of a white diamond with a blue star on it, closes his eyes, and mutters a few words in Sylvan. Fey magic briefly swirls about him and when he opens his eyes his they are nothing but glowing white orbs. Appearing around his head are seven motes of a similar light. (Crown of Stars)
"Ready when you are" reports the bard as he prepares a Counterspell for whatever Ezhia has up his sleeve.
The warehouse is one block from the harbor. Chen drops the web spell, allowing the rest of the men to flee. He walks over the others, pulling his hammer free of its holder and mentions teleporting in. Indeed, Fianna can drop the spell at any time, but as well, Ezhia could potentially cast another spell. But, the potential "what if" scenarios are broad, and time is important, so the group is left without too long to plan. Still though, it will be at least five minutes before this sphere ends....unless Fianna ends it early.
Jahren pulls out his strange holy symbol, and a moment later glittering motes of light begin circling his head. Ezhia's eyes open wider and as he glances about the group he appears to be getting more nervous, looking to Chen's hammer, and the floating lights around Jahren. He glances at Fianna who seems to have been able to successfully corral his non-beast beasts. Mirica stand behind watching.... though you all still look like common thugs, so the intimidation factor is not as high as it could be.
--------------
The two thugs at the table leap up and charge Jezun. One grabs a mallet off the table while another pulls a short sword from his scabbard.
The first swings his mallet at you twice....Attack: 6 Damage: 3 Attack: 11 Damage: 6
The second, using his buddy's attack as a distraction tries to sneak in and stab you. Attack: 24 Damage: 8 Attack: 9 Damage: 6

"If all bedlam breaks out, get to me and all grasp hands. I can shift us out of this plane as a last resort escape if need be..." Fianna advises.
"But I can drop this whenever we have our plan set... I don't have much non-potentially lethal things left in my bag," Fianna continues, and suddenly remembers she can at least add more to her side. She reaches into her Bag of Tricks and draws forth two small, fuzzy objects: 5 and 4 out of the Rust colored bag. "But I can try to hold him... If it works, and I think it may be slim, he seems the type to be able to slip out of such spells... But if it works, it'll only last maybe a minute. But it's give us a chance to disarm him. Though Counterspell and/or some kind of charm as back up would be wise too...He's got bracers and a necklace we'd definitely like removed from him..."
Fianna shrugs. "Maybe 4 minutes left before I have no choice... so am I trying the hold or....?"

(Jezun's cloak would negate the advantage on that crit, though the first roll's a 20, so the roll's unchanged! And now he's been hit, the cloak's not active for the rest of the turn.)
He grunts as the sword darts in and nicks him. He looks around for any sign of bindings, or of course Lacy.
Spinning into action, he begins targeting mooks as they present themselves to him, hitting in a blur until he can see them fall before moving to the next, and then darting to meet any before they reach weapons. He'd normally be hitting to knock unconscious but he's had a bit of a day, and his worry about Lacy is clouding his normal serene approach to combat.

Jezun's staff swings, cracking one of them in the head, a blast of lightning cracking the night air....leaving the mans eyes glazed and confused...then spins about and cracks him in the midsection....as he stumbles back a palm smashes the mans nose with a crunch, blood spraying as he goes down in a heap. He brings an elbow up, smashing it into the next man's face, a satisfying crack of bone as his cheek bone gives way. The staff swings around once more the wood striking him in the chin, he's unconscious and falls to the ground like a stiff piece of lumber, bouncing. Glancing around at those yet to approach him, now standing over two bodies, Jezun's eyes glance down at the barely conscious man he'd first followed here. He's breathing heavily and trying to push himself up off the ground. The last staff blow lands on the mans skull and he drops unconscious.
Three bodies lay before Jezun in a few seconds....the last three take no pause though...shocked as they may be, and leap into action attacking Jezun.....though his blurry form is more than in their just awoken blurry eyes, and they swing about wildly... (I'm remembering the cloak of displacement, but...because I don't know if things are going to hit, I'm going to roll with advantage for the second attacks anyway, so you can calculate wether to use the first or second roll)
The first leaps up to him with a fire poker, Attack: 13 Damage: 8 Attack: 6 Damage: 8.
The next one has a short sword in his hands....Attack: 7 Damage: 3 Attack: 14 Damage: 5...and the one following also has a sword in hand. Attack: 23 Damage: 5 Attack: 22 Damage: 3
Jezun's next round.
-------------------
As Fianna casts the small balls of fur to one side, they magically transform and grow, forming into a Lion....golden skinned with a tan colored main...and a massive boar that stands almost a tall as a person, and must weigh twice as much as Chen.
Ezhia glances around, now much more nervous looking....his greenish yellow hued skin blanches a bit.
"Chen, do me a favor and stand several feet from our friend here to ensure you are not too close to my spell. I will attempt to incapacitate him such that we can remove his magical components and bind him. If it works you may need to catch him. Be quick but be gentle as anything rough could break the spell." Jahren looks at Ezhia's eyes and adds "I suspect he may be more resistant to the spell than most, so let's all be ready for a fight... or his flight."
Readying Hypnotic Pattern for when the wall is dropped. Will place a corner of the cube over Ezhia and the rest of it away from the party.
DC18 WIS save with Disadvantage due to the instrument
(also, since Counterspell is a Reaction that too is on the table)
"Time is running out," Fianna advises her companions. "When I shout 'Coinnigh' the sphere holding him will fall and I'll be trying to magically hold him. We do not know how strong he is, what tricks he may have up his sleeve. We know his bracers and necklace are magical, but I couldn't tell how powerful or what they do. You all... Do what you think best? If Jezun is unsuccessful we may need this one alive to interrogate about Lacy... But except for that, I could care less what condition he is in."
"Drop coming in about 1 minute... so get ready." ((One minute actually being Thursday afternoonish or whenever you all are ready.))
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Jezun has been gently and adroitly spinning and stepping out of the path of nearly all the remaining incoming, but he grunts again as a sword sneaks beyond his defenses and makes another cut. He readjusts his cloak, fuzzing again into a place a few feet to the right of where he appears to be.
He whirls on the sword attacker who made contact and gets very close, the butt of his staff aiming for his jaw and the other end aiming for the solar plexus of the other with a sword. He'll aim an elbow and a fist at either of the sword-swingers to finish them off, and if not, they'll go to the fire poker wielder, eyebrow arched.
Staff blow......jaw cracking...staff blow...solar plexus......still standing....elbow blow....body is dropping, eyes glazed....a fist flying out and striking one of the sword-swingers clipping him in the jaw. Four bodies at his feet, two fighters remain....
(Rolled with advantage, for pack tactics, but ignore the 2nd advantage die until they land a blow....)
(I think maybe he meant if you teleport into bubble, Ez could Wall of Force you into a slightly smaller bubble...trapping you?)
(No, Chen's just a bit slow when it comes to the whole magic thing. He's probably remembering that Prismatic Wall...)
Chen hefts his hammer in preparation to fight, swinging it a little too easily for the slender half-elf he currently resembles. It makes his head spin to see Jahren talking with Mirica's voice and one of the Miricas talking with Fianna's voice, and the other Mirica talking with Jahren's voice... so instead he tries to just focus on the enemy before him. But his focus is broken when a giant boar appears beside them. By the gods, look at those haunches. Chen stares at the boar with drool on his jowls, but all he sees is the crispy skin scored and glazed with tropical juices and garnished with cloves, and the whole creature laying on a giant platter with a massive apple in its mouth...
